Hello & welcome back. We're glad you are here and can't wait to help you with the voting. We are hard at work with our team of voting guide fairies (caffine and memes) researching and prepping to bring you the 2024 voting guide. Guess what? The ballot this year is hella long, so send us your best vibes and get ready to do some voting. In the meantime you can sign up below to get an email to us when we release the guide . No more wondering if it's out, we'll send it to you when it's ready!
P.S. you can use that same button to submit non-Denver local measures for our consideration we will try to accomodate as many as we are able.
Voting is the bare minimum- what else are you committed to doing this year to elect progressive champs and pass progressive policy?! If you're reading/watching/listening to coverage of polls, the debates etc and feeling anxious- no better way to cure that than action. As our close personal friend, Michelle Obama, encouraged us recently during a private conversation between just us "Do Something!"
You don't have to give millions to influence campaigns. Small donations make a BIG difference and volunteering can look like so many things: door knocking, phone & text banking, election protetion work and MORE. So to get you fired up we have included a few options for how you could spend some time and money. Do you have other ways to engage you want us to share? If so pop us an email (email addresses all the way down below).
Volunteer with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. The campaign has options to volunteer here in CO and beyond. Plus lots of great tools to help you reach out to friends and family.
Vote Save America you don't have to be a friend of the pod to sign up. The VSA site has great options to connect you with voluteer opportunities- especially if you want to help in swing states.
Vote Forward- This is a great option if calls or door knocking isn't for you or isn't accessible to you. They will get you info to write letters to voters in swing states- letters are one of the most effective ways to reach those voters btw! Just note there are firm deadlines on getting letters done so they reach voters in time for election day.
Colorado Democrats not sure where to start? Check out what our state Dem party is doing -- they can also connect you with your local county party folks or candidates.
Here in CO there are two congressional races that will draw the most eyes: Carpetbagging coup & musical theater enthusiast Lauren Boebert vs reputable human Trisha Calverese in CD 4 and CD 8 nice pediatrician mom & incumbent Yadira Caraveo vs alleged human Gabe Evans. TBH the dems in both of these races have a HARD race this go round and could use your dollars and support.
Abortion is on the ballot this fall, we will be staring down pro and anti abortion candidates but Colorado and MANY other states will also decide ballot measures on abortion. Check out this site for more nationwide resources.
CO does not have a US Senate race but he balance of the US Senate is UP for grabs this year in the biggest of ways. Here are a few candidates who have to win so we can keep control of the Senate.
Jon Tester D MT- best flat top in the Senate
Ruben Gallego D AZ- Lets given Kari Lake another election loss to deny
Jacky Rosen D NV - you know you can count on her because her middle name is Sheryl
Sherrod Brown D OH- No one has ever accused this Ohioan of being inappropriate with a sofa
Elissa Slotkin D MI- Keep the mitten blue
Bob Casey D PA- cause PA keeps us up at night
Tammy Baldwin D WI - If you like Tim Walz vibes you will love Tammy Baldwin vibes
Angela Alsobrooks D MD- Maryland is usually solidly blue but Republican Larry Hogan is making a strong showing and threatening an upset--- if this race flips Dems will lose the US Senate.
This is us getting hyped for this election year.
