Ban Dark Money in Colorado Elections

I urge you to reintroduce and support SB25-148, the campaign finance reform bill that would ban year-round lobbyist contributions, require 24-hour reporting of independent expenditures over $1,000, and mandate donor disclosure for federal PACs contributing to Colorado elections. This bill failed by a single vote in committee in March 2025. Colorado lobbyists self-reported nearly $500,000 in contributions to statehouse candidates during the 2024 cycle. The Independent Ethics Commission has advanced complaints against 17 legislators for accepting lobbyist hospitality. Coloradans deserve to know who is funding our elections.
