Colorado Policy Pathway

Lowering taxes is a vital step toward fostering economic growth and empowering Colorado’s families and businesses. By reducing the tax burden, we create an environment where entrepreneurs can invest, employers can expand, and individuals can keep more of what they earn. Lower taxes don’t just benefit job creators—they lift up working families by making everyday life more affordable and helping communities thrive. When Coloradans have more money in their pockets, they’re able to make decisions that best suit their needs, driving innovation and resilience across the state.

Colorado’s Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) has played a crucial role in ensuring that any tax increases are subject to voter approval, safeguarding citizens from unchecked government spending. However, recent attempts to bypass these protections threaten to divert funds away from essential services toward special interests. By advocating for lower taxes and defending TABOR, we demand greater accountability and transparency from our leaders. It’s about prioritizing the needs of Colorado families and maintaining a government that lives within its means—without sacrificing vital investments in education, transportation, and public safety.

Ultimately, lowering taxes is about securing a brighter future for all Coloradans. Thoughtful tax policy encourages responsible budgeting, supports small businesses, and creates opportunities for everyone to succeed. As we work to strengthen Colorado’s economy, AFP-CO remains committed to engaging the public, advancing commonsense solutions, and ensuring that fiscal decisions reflect the will and best interests of the people we serve.
