Colorado Common Cause fights for fair and equitable representation for all Coloradans.
In 2018, we lead the coalition to create independent redistricting commissions for Colorado’s state legislative and congressional redistricting processes. Voters approved both measures by over 70% of the vote, sending a loud and clear message that everyday Coloradans, not politicians, should determine our political districts that fairly and equitably represent the communities in our state.
Before independent redistricting, we fought back against attempts by political parties to use the redistricting process for political gain. In 2013, we led the fight against the “midnight-gerrymander” – when state lawmakers attempted to rush through maps creating Congressional districts to benefit the Republican party.
We will continue fighting for fair representation at all levels of government.
