Elections
At Conservation Colorado, we know that elections matter because leadership matters.
Conservation Colorado and our political committees run some of the largest electoral programs in the state because we need leaders at every level—local, state and federal—who reflect Colorado’s diversity and share our commitment to creating a healthier environment.
We help them do it, and hold them to it.
Elect Environmental Champions
Conservation Colorado and our political committees recruit, endorse and help elect candidates up and down the ballot who will fight with us to secure a healthy environment. In the last election cycle, we endorsed 80 candidates—63 percent were women and 35 percent were leaders of color—and Conservation Colorado and our political committees secured victories in 84 percent of those races.
Hold Elected Officials Accountable
Conservation Colorado continues to support elected officials after they take office by advocating for strong environmental policies that advance our mission. We hold state lawmakers accountable to ensure Colorado’s communities and environment are protected. Curious how your lawmaker voted on key environmental bills during the 2025 legislative session?
