60 years ago, my Great Grandparents organized a rally against segregation. Proud of their legacy.

Four years ago, Colorado was #4 in @CNBC’s Top States for Business. Now, we are #25.
State government continues to make things worse in our state. #copolitics #coleg

Colorado is still the 2nd worst state in the country for stolen cars.
We need to increase penalties for auto theft! #copolitics

A reminder for today: there is no real public polling for any of these races. #copolitics

What ever happened to independent polling? All we get now are super PAC polls that have amazing numbers for the candidates they are supporting. #copolitics

It’s truly amazing how many lives Lynn impacted in a deep and meaningful way, including mine.
I was so sad to hear about her passing. She was the first reporter that I got to know in Colorado politics. I quickly realized how lucky that was. She was one of a kind. Direct and funny. Opinionated and fair. She showed up to every political event out there - and everyone loved seeing her. She was interested in people and their stories. There’s a big hole in the Colorado political landscape with her gone. #copolitics

What? Colorado’s budget surplus shrunk 90% before H.R. 1 even passed. States like Florida are doing great because people and businesses are going there from states that increased taxes. Thankfully, Colorado voters are smart and will soundly reject your tax hike. #copolitics

@MichaelCLFields Again, no. Every state with a tax code "coupled" to the federal tax code is seeing similar corporate tax revenue losses. It's the big beautiful bill that did this, and corporate America is laughing all the way to the bank while working families can't afford gas. #copolitics
English
The policies that legislators passed led to less revenue. We’ve become the 6th most regulated state in the country and businesses are leaving or expanding elsewhere. Nothing would accelerate this net migration out of the state more than the tax increase you’re pushing. That’s why there is bipartisan opposition! #copolitics
Chris deGruy Kennedy@cdegruykennedy
@MichaelCLFields Incorrect. Legislators can't "spend" TABOR surplus dollars, and the most significant tax credits that would reduce the surplus have been deactivated by OBBBA. The "blown surplus" is entirely driven by a dramatic reduction in corporate tax revenue, again, due to OBBBA. #copolitics

Major fumble by the City of Denver. #copolitics
Michael Fields@MichaelCLFields
“The city of Denver bought the Denver Post building in early 2024 for $88.5 million.” “And with late charges, the leaseholder is now about $2 million behind in rent.” “Making the situation even more unusual, the city of Denver actually leases space in the building it owns, and is paying DP Media Network LLC, the master leaseholder, almost $166,000 every month for that space.” So many questions… #copolitics cbsnews.com/colorado/news/…

Who’s been in control in Colorado and made it unaffordable? We are now the 6th most regulated state. Fees are out of control. Now, the far left is telling us that the solution is to raise taxes and fees even more on everyone. Good luck, Chris. #copolitics

@MichaelCLFields Says the mouthpiece for Colorado's richest man, once again trying to convince us that keeping taxes low for the rich will somehow benefit those working as hard as they can only to find they still cannot afford housing, healthcare, or child care.
English
Bell Policy wants to raise taxes on everyone - which will just erode the tax base even more and lead to worse services for those who need them. Just look at what’s happening to the states who have recently raised taxes or are considering it. It’s a disaster for them! #copolitics
Chris deGruy Kennedy@cdegruykennedy
Here's an idea to make Colorado more affordable. Fix our broken tax system so that working folks get a break & those making more than $500,000/yr pay more. Use new revenue to save people money on preschool & healthcare, and increase pay for teachers & care workers. #copolitics

Don’t forget to sign our petition to uphold independent redistricting in Colorado! #copolitics
Michael Fields@MichaelCLFields
We are going to defeat this partisan redistricting in Colorado! Our countermeasure - upholding independent redistricting - is much more popular. Excited to get it started! #copolitics

Unfortunately, overdose deaths are up in Colorado. That’s why we need to pass our ballot measure to increase penalties on fentanyl dealers. #copolitics

It’s time for @cdegruykennedy to give up on this massive tax hike. People don’t want to hand over a $2.7 billion blank check to politicians. #copolitics
Bell Policy Center@BellPolicy
The Protect Colorado's Future coalition has trained 500 people to collect signatures for the graduated income tax question! It would CUT TAXES for those making less than $500k, raise them for those making more, and bring in money for child care, health care, and K-12. #copolitics

“…natural gas is still what keeps the grid reliable, the environment cleaner, and energy bills affordable.”
Check out this oped on why natural gas is so important for Colorado. It’s why we need to put the right to purchase natural gas for cooking and heating our homes in the Colorado Constitution! #copolitics

Legislators are trying to undermine a citizens initiative again. They blew a massive surplus over the last few years - but somehow they still think that they know better than voters. It’s not going to work. #copolitics #coleg

Initiative 175 would require the state to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on road projects with existing budget dollars. 9news.com/article/news/p…

It’s funny how legislators are trying to pass this like nobody is paying attention and they didn’t lose by 19% the last time they tried to end our TABOR tax refunds. #copolitics #coleg
CBSColorado@CBSNewsColorado
Colorado taxpayers could lose up to $37.5 billion in TABOR refunds under proposed ballot measure cbsnews.com/colorado/news/…

This is when politicians at the Capitol try to take our TABOR tax refunds and voters say No. A new episode of this show is actually coming out again this year. Should be fun! #copolitics
Bell Policy Center@BellPolicy
Get the 101 on the unique Colorado phenomenon known as debrucing. This has everything to do with the spending limits imposed by the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, and a voter-approved way to allow government to keep and spend money above the TABOR cap. #coleg bellpolicy.org/what-is-debruc…
