We are all asking the same questions....How did this happen? What went wrong? The answers are, of course, all unclear. The knee-jerk reaction is to point fingers and lay blame on specific people or groups or conspiracy theories. We caution you to not jump to any conclusions as it will take months to get access to, let alone analyze the real data from this election so any conclusions being drawn at this time are based on flawed exit polling and emotions. Know that there are some rays of sunshine.

  • Rep. Mehan Lukens won her seat in House District 26. This was one of the state’s most competitive races and Rep. Lukens won in a landslide.

  • Rep. Elizabeth Velasco also won reelection in House District 57. This is an enormous victory in what was a solidly red district.

  • Comm. Matt Scherr won easily in his re-election for Eagle County Commissioner in District 1 and Tom Boyd will represent District 2

  • Colorado bucked the trend toward darkness many states throughout the country gave wave to.​

    • We stopped several HORRIBLE ballot measures including 131 & 80.

    • We removed discriminatory marriage language from our constitution.

    • We codified the right to an abortion into our constitution.

    • We increased collective bargaining for thousands of government employees.

    • We passed a new firearm excise tax - generating $39 million a year to fund an array of mental health programs and support services for crime victims

    • We're keeping our majority in the state house and state senate

  • While incredibly close - we're on track to keep CD8.

  • There still remains a chance, a slim chance, that we take the House. Looking at the map and the outstanding races, it's not IMPOSSIBLE.

And the most important question of all is... What do we do now? Our work does not change. ​We will continue our fight for marginalized communities, women’s reproductive freedom, a healthy planet, and to make Colorado a better place for our children. We hope you will not give up but will continue to fight alongside us. In fact, now we need you more than ever. We've put together a collection of resources that we hope will help you move forward.
