Destructive policies from our Democrat-controlled State Legislature are destroying jobs, pushing employers out of the state and making our lives more expensive!
The Colorado Chamber Foundation recently put out a report tracking nearly 100 “known relocations or lost opportunities to other states since 2019.”
This equates to over 13,600 jobs that Colorado lost to other states since 2019!
And now a bipartisan coalition of business owners, entrepreneurs and tech leaders are urging the State Government to change course and make Colorado a more business friendly state.
Of course, these same policies that have pushed out employers have also made life more expensive for the average Coloradan who has to spend “$20,800 more in 2025 to cover basic necessities like housing, groceries, insurance, gas, and child care” than in 2019 according to the Common Sense Institute.
Most of blame is with our State Legislature who have increased regulations, taxes & fees and made it more difficult to do business in Colorado.
Thankfully, some democratic legislators are recognizing the problem and are willing to vote against some new fees and taxes as well as pass regulatory reform to help ease the burdens placed on Colorado businesses.
This November, Colorado voters have an opportunity to help change the direction of Colorado and replace bad, anti-business legislators.
