The Colorado Center Party Executive Committee has voted with at least a two thirds majority to either support or appose the follows ballot amendments or propostions:

No on Amendment 85
Plain Language Ballot Questions
The Colorado Center Party does not endorse Amendment 85 (Plain Ballot Titles). We absolutely stand for voter transparency in elections, but this initiative fails to identify the problem it solves. The language of the Amendment as written creates the potential for the substance of a a critical initiative to be confused in an attempt to fit a language restriction.

No on Proposition NN
Senate Bill 26-135 State Public K-12 Education Funding
The Center Party urges a NO vote on Proposition NN because it would dismantle the TABOR protections against tax increases and we have already had recent K-12 spending increases per pupil. K-12 education spending has already grown about 25% since 2021 even though enrollment has declined. We believe that reducing unnecessary administrative positions is a better solution to improve classroom teacher pay because too much of the NN money would go to “other programs targeting children”.

Yes on Proposition 134
Male and Female Participation in School Sports
Trans individuals deserve full support and inclusion, and any discussion about sports should honor their dignity. At the same time, going through male puberty can create lasting physical advantages that make competition in female categories feel unfair, hence require separation in competitive sports much like how weight classes keep sports balanced. This view aims to protect fairness while still fully affirming and respecting trans individuals.

No on Amendment 87

Graduated Income Tax

The Colorado Center Party supports both the uniquely Colorado Taxpayers Bill of Rights (TABOR) and our state’s small and medium-sized businesses.  While the current tax code for wealthy individuals may seem unfair, Proposition 87 is certainly not the answer.  Proposition 87 is another attempt to side step TABOR and punish our small and medium businesses with the goal of funneling more money to the same failing leadership that is already mismanaging the funds they have. 

No on Proposition 132 

Penalties for Fentanyl Crimes
