Priorities
Extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)
The Tax Cuts and Job Act (TCJA fixed major flaws in the tax code and has been an important driver of economic growth. Unfortunately, the TCJA is set to expire. This will cause the average Colorado family’s federal bill to rise by $3,661. Income tax rate hikes will account for $1,708 of this increase. The expiration of economically important, pro-growth provisions will slow the economy and cost Colorado 19,069 jobs and increase individual business taxes in Colorado by $1,534.
Secure the Border
We are facing the worst border crisis in the history of our country. Since Biden took office there have been over 8 million illegal crossings at our southern border, including nearly 2 million got-aways.
AFP believes we need to secure the border now because it is essential for national security and upholding the rule of law, but to safeguard the rights of American citizens. People who do not qualify for humanitarian relief should be swiftly removed. We need better infrastructure and assets at the border including more Border Patrol agents to apprehend individuals who cross illegally.
Colorado’s Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR)
TABOR helps keep state spending in check and helps keeps our economy strong by permitting voters the opportunity to approve any proposed tax increases or any new, excessive fees. It also requires any revenue collected above the TABOR REVENUE LIMIT be returned to taxpayers. Since 1993, TABOR has returned over 3 BILLION $ to Colorado taxpayers and families. Protecting TABOR is always one of our main priorities. It is vital in maintaining a STRONG ECONOMY here in Colorado as well as ensuring that voters have a VOICE in the process. Coloradans overwhelmingly agree! JOIN our MOVEMENT and protect TABOR for Colorado Taxpayers.
Keep Colorado Energy Rates Low
Utilities are government-created monopolies which is why their rates are set by government. Since they enjoy the benefits of no competition, it is vital the legislature and oversight organizations, such as the Public Utilities Commission, ensure that ratepayers are being protected.
Also, the legislature should not pass mandates on utilities that drive up costs and force ratepayers to shoulder the burden of higher rates.
Xcel earned a record $1.74 billion in profits for shareholders in 2022. Shameful to have a company profit on the backs of those who have no other option for their heating — all to advance their green/climate agenda.
Our elected leaders in the General Assembly, our appointed commissioners, and utility companies should work together to ensure ratepayers are being treated fairly.
JOIN US in our fight to keep rates low for Colorado families.
Protect our Economy and Worker’s Choice

Deprives workers from complete participation and representation in:

Urge Polis to OPPOSE – SB25-05
Extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
Congress is facing a countdown to crisis that will impact the economic health of the nation: by either promoting the growth of the U.S. economy through extending Trump’s tax cuts, or saddling Americans with higher taxes and economy stagnation by letting them expire.

By 2040 average homeowners could be paying more than $32 per month for electricity.
DENVER, CO — As National School Choice Week kicks off, Americans for Prosperity-Colorado (AFP-Colorado) is highlighting the importance of fostering an education system that prioritizes an individualized approach to learning.
DENVER (KDVR) — Monday marked the first day the IRS could start accepting and processing your tax return. Colorado filers need to keep an eye out for one key step to make sure they get all the money they are eligible for back in their wallets.
We’d like to correct the record. Colorado is not facing a financial crisis. Rather, the state government is growing at a good pace, fueled by a healthy economy, a financially prudent governor who saved during years of plenty and sound tax policy decisions.

Extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
The 119th Congress must address multiple fiscal deadlines that will impact the U.S. economy, most significantly, the upcoming expiration of President Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).
