AFP-CO Launches TABOR Campaign Urging Coloradans to Contact Lawmakers 

DENVER, CO — Today, Americans for Prosperity-Colorado (AFP-Colorado) announced the launch of a statewide campaign targeting lawmakers who voted to in favor of repealing Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR). The campaign also highlights and thanks lawmakers who voted to protect taxpayers and the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights by opposing House Joint Resolution (HJR) 25-1023.

TABOR has been saving Coloradans more of their hard-earned money for three decades by requiring voters to approve tax increases. More than 70% of Coloradans support TABOR, yet year after year, Democrat lawmakers in Denver dream up new ways to gut it.

This legislative session, 43 Democrats, including Senator Kyle Mullica and Representatives Lorena Garcia and Manny Rutinel, sponsored a resolution that would end TABOR and Coloradans’ right to approve tax increases.

In response, AFP-Colorado’s campaign will encompass grassroots, digital, and mail, encouraging Coloradans to contact their lawmakers about their support or opposition of TABOR.

AFP-Colorado Deputy State Director Brittany Trujillo issued the following statement:

“Coloradans deserve to know where their lawmakers stand on TABOR and their right to vote on tax increases. Some politicians on the left will stop at nothing to take this right away from Coloradans, and AFP is determined to educate voters on which lawmakers are undermining TABOR.”

BACKGROUND:

AFP-Colorado has been advocating for Colorado taxpayers for years and is a longtime proponent of TABOR. Recently, AFP-Colorado Deputy State Director penned a piece in Complete Colorado highlighting the campaign.
