Colorado Voters for Animals 2014 Ballot Buddy - Congressional District 5 This page includes all of the state legislative districts that are within, or partially within, Congressional District 5. Candidates that CVA has endorsed are designated in the right-hand column as a "Pro-Animal Pick." We may not make an endorsement in every race. Our endorsements are non-partisan and are based solely on the candidate’s stance on animal issues. We consider questionnaire responses and any voting history the candidate has with CVA. Other candidates may earn a "Paws Down" for their history of sponsoring anti-animal bills or working against humane legislation.
