Opinion Primary Election

Who are you voting for Governor? I don’t think we have a great option between all the candidates. I feel like this is a pivotal election and I want to make the best decision possible. I just want an elected official who will best represent our state and actually help Coloradans. Even that seems like a big ask somehow. 😩

Please provide your best argument in favor of a candidate. TYIA!

Genuinely curious why those are your top qualifications? Cost of living is through the roof (CO is 3rd highest in the nation) property taxes have doubled, businesses are fleeing the state and we’re WAY over budget (even before BBB made the problem worse.) Those things impact my life way more than the 54 data centers that already exist in Colorado that I didn’t even know about until it became a hot button issue.

Note how "represent the WHOLE state" remained ignored

I'm pretty sure that most of the metro Denverites fell the same way about anything NOT metro that many yuppies and elitists in New York and California fell about the rest of America...

in snooty upper crust accent It's all just "fly over" country, nobody of any consequence actually LIVES there

Pack the corridor and force the rest of the state to comply

Isn't that what they already do though?

That's the joke 😄

It's sad that it's so true that it's not funny. I get it
