State Election Results, 2010 Office of SECRETARY OF STATE State of Colorado Scott Gessler, Secretary of State William A. Hobbs, Deputy Secretary of State Judd Choate, Director of Elections Elections Division Office of the Secretary of State 1700 Broadway, Suite 200 Denver, CO 80290 Phone: (303) 894-2200 ext. 6307 2010 ABSTRACT OF VOTES CAST Official Publication of the Abstract of Votes Cast for the 2010 Primary 2010 General To the Citizens of Colorado: The information in this abstract is compiled from material filed by each of Colorado’s 64 county clerk and recorders from the 2010 Primary and 2010 General elections. In 2010, more than 1.8 million Colorado citizens turned out to cast a vote for their government leadership. These votes helped elect a U.S. Senator and seven U.S. Representatives. At the state level, voters elected a governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney general, three state board of education members, three CU regents, 19 state senators, 65 state representatives, a district attorney and other county and local elected leaders. Voters also retained numerous judges and weighed in on nine questions regarding changes to state law. I encourage Colorado citizens to be actively involved in the democratic process—our democratic system of government is only as strong as the participation of its citizens. I hope you find this abstract to be informative.

  • April 16, 2015 Dear Legislator: Attached You Will Find a Petition
    April 16, 2015 Dear Legislator: Attached you will find a petition, signed by over 3,100 Coloradans from over 200 communities, asking you to do whatever you can to ensure that Colorado’s students benefit from our state’s nation-leading economic recovery. You will also find 600 comments and stories, conveying the impact that inadequate education funding is having on schools in Colorado – including those in your district. Please note, for your convenience the signatures are organized by city. The Coloradoans who have signed this petition seek to convey to you the urgent need to repay the debt we owe our students after years of budget cuts. They seek to remind you that there are still decisions that the legislature could make during this legislative session to increase education funding this year and for years to come. The decisions you make – or that you fail to make – in the next four weeks will have a profound impact on the quality of education available to every student in Colorado. We hope you will carefully consider the words, stories and comments attached to this letter as you help determine Colorado’s moral and fiscal path. Thank you for your service and for your attention to the future our children, our state and our economy. To: Governor Hickenlooper and Members of the 70th General Assembly: We are parents, grandparents, educators, businesspeople and community members who have a simple message for you now that Colorado’s rebounding economy is producing revenues above the TABOR limit. Keep the surplus for kids. In bad economic times, Colorado’s kids suffered well over $1 billion in cuts to education.

  • Statement of Dan Gibbs Executive Director Colorado Department Of
    Statement of Dan Gibbs Executive Director Colorado Department of Natural Resources Before The Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands of The House Natural Resources Committee April 2, 2019 Chairwoman Haaland, Ranking Member Young, and Members of the Subcommittee: On behalf of Governor Polis and the State of Colorado, we appreciate the opportunity to provide testimony on the Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy Act (H.R. 823). We strongly support the CORE Act and hope Congress will move swiftly to enact it. Governor Polis would have liked to be here today with his former colleagues to express his strong support for this legislation. As you know, as a member of Congress, Governor Polis had sponsored the Continental Divide Recreation, Wilderness and Camp Hale Legacy Act, which has now been incorporated into the broader CORE Act. Introduction This legislation—the product of years of collaboration among elected officials, businesses, community members, and a myriad of other interested and affected stakeholders across Colorado—would protect some of the most beloved public lands in Colorado for their unsurpassed recreation, scenery, wildlife, watersheds, historic, and other unique values. As the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, I support this bill because it will benefit our wildlife by protecting critical habitat and migration corridors; it will protect the outstanding recreational experiences that bring people from across Colorado—and the world—to these special places; it will help safeguard Colorado’s water resources by protecting key watersheds and all water rights; it strikes the right balance by protecting key public lands from development, while protecting all existing mineral rights and leaving other appropriate lands available for mining, oil, and gas development; and because it complements the values and opportunities associated with our state lands.

  • Joint Letter Transportation Commission V Proj List 2
    FIX NORTH I-25 BUSINESS ALLIANCE NORTH I-25 COALITION For Immediate Release Contact: Sandra Hagen Solin June 21, 2017 303.810.1914 [email protected] NORTHERN COLORADO LEADERS PUSH FOR FULL FUNDING OF NORTH I-25 Denver – This morning, Northern Colorado business leaders and elected officials urged the Colorado Transportation Commission to fully fund of the entire stretch of the North I-25 Corridor from Fort Collins to Longmont with anticipated revenues from upcoming ballot initiatives. A statewide sales tax ballot question will likely face voters in November that promises to fund transportation projects across the state, including major interstates. The tax would authorize over $7.5 billion in revenue proceeds from bonds. In July, the Commission is set to finalize the list of projects that will be promised to be funded by the $7.5 bond program for inclusion in the “Blue Book” voter guide provided to voters ahead of the election. A permanent fix to expand capacity in the North I-25 Corridor between Fort Collins and Loveland is missing from the current project list. The project is slated to cost $660M. Other segments of I-25 south of Loveland to Longmont are included in the list. “We are asking that North I-25 and the $660M necessary for full EIS build of these segments be included in the Commission-approved Tier One Project List,” began David May, President and CEO of the Fort Collins Chamber, Chair of the Fix North I-25 Business Alliance and member of the Northern Colorado Legislative Alliance. “We are, and have been, united as a community around funding North I-25”, highlighted Barbara Kirkmeyer, Weld County Commissioner, Chair of the North I-25 Coalition and Chair of the Upper Front Range MPO.
