Colorado Springs is covered by multiple state House and Senate districts. All 65 House seats and 18 of 35 Senate seats are on the November ballot.
Colorado has two types: legislatively referred measures (placed by the General Assembly) and citizen-initiated measures (placed by petition). Constitutional amendments require 55% to pass; statutes require a simple majority.
Legislatively referred measure. This is the marquee measure on the November ballot. It would allow the state to keep revenue above the TABOR cap (up to $4.6 billion per year) and redirect it to K-12 public school funding for 10 years.
The money would fund teacher pay increases, retention programs, smaller class sizes, and career/technical education courses. Without this measure, the revenue goes back to taxpayers as TABOR refunds.
Passed the legislature with no Republican votes (House 42–21, Senate 23–12).
Citizen-initiated statute. Would impose higher criminal penalties for fentanyl-related offenses, including manufacturing, distribution, and possession above certain thresholds.
Citizen-initiated constitutional amendment (requires 55%). Would require law enforcement to notify the Department of Homeland Security when charging someone whose citizenship status is in question.
Citizen-initiated statute. Would impose life without parole for individuals convicted of child sex trafficking.
Citizen-initiated statute. Would require school athletic teams to be classified by biological sex.
Citizen-initiated statute. Would prohibit sex-characteristic-altering surgeries on minors.
