Attn CO businesses: some powerful voices in CO are misrepresenting 87. They’re hoping you don’t ask how big a biz has to be before it pays a penny more. Most small biz owners pay their biz taxes through personal returns. They are among the 97% getting a tax cut. #YesOn87 #NoOn136

The only thing inside Amendment 87 is delicious nougat and a tax cut for 97% of Coloradans, INCLUDING seniors, veterans, and small businesses. Check your text messages carefully! And watch this segment from 9News: youtu.be/2p_9jcWh32s?is=gBEg… #copolitics #YesOn87 #COPolitics

Thank you @nexton9news for this take down of the lies peddled by the desperate opponents of the graduated income tax. The GIT WILL NOT raise taxes for seniors and veterans making less than $500k/yr. It will cut taxes for 97% of Coloradans. #copolitics youtu.be/2p_9jcWh32s?si=xrNG…

"But where will the money actually go?" Fair question. 🙋 Every dollar raised by Amendment 87 is constitutionally locked in for K-12 schools, health care, and child care, with an annual independent public audit. #YesOn87 #IncomeTaxFairnessAct

It's official 🥳 Income Tax Fairness is on the ballot! Colorado's tax system is broken. A nurse or teacher making $50K pays the same rate as a millionaire or big corporation. Under Initiative 195, 97% of taxpayers get a tax cut, & no one under $500K pays a penny more. #copolitics

Rural communities remain at risk, and the gap continues to widen. New Medicaid and Medicare hurdles could strip coverage from Coloradans already struggling to access care. We can’t afford more red tape. 9news.com/article/news/healt…

Colorado report finds rural residents face wider health gaps and shorter lives

American Indian and Alaska Native populations in rural communities see premature death rates nearly double the statewide average, according to the report.

Right now, nearly half of Americans can't afford healthcare. It's no wonder when costs have skyrocketed - and continue to rise. We’re joining @FamiliesUSA and partners this week to send a message to lawmakers: #LowerHealthcareCostsNow! Take action: ow.ly/aJA550Zp4fU

Cassenda is a mother of four, a community health worker, and the full-time caregiver to her daughter, who lives with diabetes and seizures. She’s been turned away from care for not having insurance, and forced into medical debt on the visits where she was seen — debt that’s meant choosing between her daughter’s medication and keeping the lights on. No parent should have to choose between their child’s care and their family’s basic needs. #LowerHealthCareCostsNow

If a test costs $75 in a doctor’s office, it shouldn’t cost $175 in a hospital. If an MRI costs $500 in a doctor’s office, it shouldn’t cost $2,500 in a hospital. #LowerHealthCareCostsNow Tell Congress to take action: ow.ly/aJA550Zp4fU

TABOR has limited Colorado's ability to invest in its own future for three decades. Initiative #195 offers a path forward: a graduated income tax that cuts taxes for 97% of Coloradans and asks the wealthiest to contribute their fair share. 🔗loom.ly/MNA8gVs

Congress lied. Medicaid cuts may force my physical therapist to drop patients like me. HR1, aka the Big Beautiful Bill, has led to devastating cuts to Medicaid in our state. Here is Lydia's story. loom.ly/QI5-5aE

Despite claims by my U.S. representative, Gabe Evans, that my Medicaid and access to care would be unaffected by H.R. 1, I now have proof to the contrary.

AI could be deciding your next job, loan, or housing application, leaving you open to discrimination. But SB 189 would require companies to notify you when AI makes decisions about your job, housing, education, finances, or health care. #SB189 #CoPolitics #AIAccountability

@CHProgress leaders are out at the Colorado State Capitol today on #MayDay asking legislators to stand with working families and close corporate tax loopholes. Tax the rich so our families, not their fortunes, come first. Thanks Rep. Mabrey for standing with Colorado families!
