Coloradans are deeply concerned about cost of living, skyrocketing crime, and the lack of accountability and success in our education system. At Advance Colorado, we are committed to making Colorado affordable, prioritizing public safety, and expanding education opportunities for all.
Once again, TABOR is under attack. This time, liberal politicians aren’t pretending to hide the ball. Instead, they’re openly berating the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights on the House and Senate floors, every chance they get. Denver state Rep. Sean Camacho is even sponsoring a resolution to force the state legislature into a lawsuit to try to get rid of TABOR entirely.
Fields, president of the conservative advocacy group Advance Colorado, led a pair of ballot measures in 2024 to dramatically cut property taxes and set strict growth limits. Fearing the impact on government budgets and operations, Governor Jared Polis called a special legislative session in August, during which lawmakers passed more modest property tax relief as a compromise. In exchange, Fields withdrew the measures.
Coloradans are increasingly embracing common-sense solutions to our state’s most difficult challenges. While partisan progressive legislators too often ignore Colorado’s pressing problems – or enact laws to make them worse – citizens across the political spectrum are demanding, and often voting for, policies that work.

TABOR requires that new taxes go to a vote, but legislators have found a loophole: fees. By disguising taxes as fees, they avoid voter approval and keep expanding government spending. Voters fought back with Prop 117, but lawmakers continue to push the limits. Find out how it impacts your wallet. #copolitics

Colorado is a special place with special people. For too long, leaders have stood by while liberal special interest groups and politicians have turned Colorado into a testing ground for some of the most liberal policies and plans in the nation.
