Advocates for older Coloradans weigh in: Amendment 87 would help older Coloradans financially. Don't be fooled by lying text messages and mailers. Check out this op-ed by trusted sources. #copolitics coloradosun.com/2026/10/16/o…
Colorado's state budget is complicated and has been distorted by some with a political ax to grind. We break down the numbers and put them in perspective. Check out our latest research on the budget. bellpolicy.org/colorados-fis… #copolitics
Indeed. And much of it is being spent to spread lies about the graduated income tax. The truth is that Amendment 87 will cut taxes for anyone making less than $500k a year. That includes small business owners, seniors and vets. Get the facts at protectcoloradosfuture.com
Millions in untraceable conservative money is flooding into Colorado to oppose tax-related ballot measures coloradosun.com/2026/10/14/d… #copolitics #coleg
Curious, isn't it, why conservatives who so often talk about cutting taxes are foaming at the mouth in opposition to Amendment 87, which would cut taxes for 97% of Coloradans. #copolitics

Thank you to The Durango Herald for supporting the graduated income tax, Amendment 87. The Herald also recommends a no on 136, which they rightly call out as an effort to negate the graduated income tax.
We're grateful to @9NEWS for the fact-check on the blizzard of lying texts that dark money interests have foisted upon Colorado voters. The graduated income tax DOES NOT raise taxes on low- to moderate-income seniors and veterans. It cuts taxes for everyone making less than $500k
The "No on 87" campaigns mislead voters by saying Amendment 87 would tax Social Security and pensions differently. 9news.com/article/news/polit…

Thousands of Colorado voters received false text messages warning that Amendment 87 would “hike taxes” on seniors and veterans.
This is “not supported by the text of the measure.”
Help the truth catch up with the misinformation:

UPDATE: This is not true. 9news.com/article/news/polit… #copolitics
Thanks Scott! The measure requires all taxable net income to be taxed. This would be a strict mandate in the state constitution. State deductions and subtractions would be on the chopping block. It’s pretty straightforward. Bell Policy made a choice to do it this way. #copolitics

Amendment 87 would tax Coloradans making $500k+ a year. Opponents including Gov Jared Polis (D) are misleadingly claiming it will raise taxes on low-income seniors and vets.
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

Taxing the rich helps fund vital public services and makes tax codes fairer.
It's also one of the most effective tools available for advancing racial equity.
Four states this year passed new tax laws showing how this can be done.
