BALLOT OVERVIEW: All 2025 Boulder County ballots will have 2 statewide ballot issues — Proposition LL and Proposition MM — and 2 countywide ballot issues — Boulder County Ballot Issues 1A and 1B — and the Boulder County Democratic Party (BCDP) recommends YES on all four measures. Explanations of the recommendations are listed below, beneath each statewide and county ballot measure. The BCDP did not endorse any candidates this election, nor make recommendations on any municipal, school district, or fire district issue. If you live in the cities of Boulder, Lafayette, or Louisville, there are city council candidates and municipal ballot issues on your ballot. If you live in Longmont, you have the mayoral, 2 at large seats for city council and a judge retention question on your ballot. If you live in Ward 2 in Longmont, you also have the Ward 2 seat for city council on your ballot. Also on the 2025 ballot are School Board Director candidates for the Boulder Valley (3 seats), St. Vrain Valley (4 seats), and Thompson (3 seats) School Districts (all residents within a school district vote for all director candidates for their district). The Thompson School District has a ballot measure. Finally, the Hygiene, Sunshine and Coal Creek Canyon Fire Protection Districts, each have a ballot measure.

GENERAL BALLOT MEASURE INFO: Ballot questions referred by the General Assembly or any political subdivision are numbered by letter, and ballot questions initiated by the people are numbered numerically. A ballot question identified as an amendment proposes changes to the Colorado Constitution, and a ballot question identified as a proposal, or proposition, proposes a change to the Colorado Revised Statutes. A "yes/for" vote on any ballot question is a vote in favor of changing current law or existing circumstances, and a "no/against" vote on any ballot question is a vote against changing current law or existing circumstances.

Below you'll find candidate listings and ballot content for Boulder County. Your own ballot will reflect your own districts & municipality.

CITY OF BOULDER BALLOT ISSUE 2A
the BCDP did not make a recommendation:
Community, Culture, Resilience, And Safety (CCRS) Tax Extension (TABOR)

Without raising additional taxes, shall the existing Community, Culture, Resilience, and Safety Sales and Use Tax of 0.3 percent, initially scheduled to expire on December 31, 2036, be extended in perpetuity, as a voter approved revenue change, with the revenue from such tax extension and all earnings thereon, starting January 1, 2026, to be used to build and maintain city capital improvement projects including, but not limited to: roads, paths, bike lanes, trails, and sidewalk enhancements; recreation center renovations and replacements; snow and ice response; parks and playground refurbishments; fire and police station renovations and replacements; critical bridge replacements; and open space trail and trailhead improvements; and use up to 10 percent of such tax revenue to fund a grant pool for non-profit organization projects that serve the people of Boulder and related costs including grant program administration costs in compliance with terms, conditions, and timing adopted by the city council; and in connection therewith, shall the tax revenues and any earnings from the revenues constitute a voter approved revenue change and an exception to the revenue and spending limits of Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution?


The BCDP Two-Part Voting Process

As per BCDP Bylaws, in order to provide ballot measure recommendations, the Executive Committee will engage in a two-part voting process: The first vote will consider establishing a position on the measure. The motion shall be “Shall we take a position on this measure?” If the motion fails to get a simple majority, then BCDP shall publish that it takes no position on this measure. If the motion passes with a simple majority then a second vote shall be taken. The second vote will consider supporting or opposing the ballot measure. Any member may request a straw poll prior to the formal vote. There are three possible outcomes of a formal vote: (1) A super majority vote for passing the motion results in a position of support for the ballot measure, (2) A super majority vote against passing the motion results in a position of opposition to the measure, (3) a simple majority vote in either direction or a tie results in no position being taken on the measure by BCDP.

The Boulder County Democratic Party Executive Committee's first vote on the motion, "Shall we take a position on this measure?" did not pass by a simple majority to take a position. Therefore: the BCDP did not make a recommendation for, or against, City of Boulder Ballot Issue 2A.

BCDP recommends YES on PROPOSITION LL
TABOR Override for School Meals

Without raising taxes, may the state keep and spend all revenue generated by the 2022 voter-approved state tax deduction limits on individuals with incomes of $300,000 or more and maintain these deduction limits in order to continue funding the healthy school meals for all program, which pays for public schools to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students in kindergarten through twelfth grade?

RATIONALE

BCDP Recommends YES on PROPOSITION LL:

RATIONALE (from the Colorado General Assembly Legislative Council) in SUPPORT of Proposition LL —
Proposition LL allows the state to retain revenue that it has already collected to support free school meals for public school students, rather than refunding it to high-income taxpayers. Access to free school meals improves academic outcomes, eliminates stigma for low-income students, and reduces hunger. Using all of the tax revenue the state has already collected will help provide more free school meals to Colorado public school students.

BCDP recommends YES on PROPOSITION MM
Increase State Taxes for the Healthy School Meals for All Program

Shall state taxes be increased by $95 million annually by a change to the colorado revised statutes to support access to healthy food for Colorado kids and families, including the Healthy School Meals for All program, and, in connection therewith, increasing state taxable income only for individuals who have a federal taxable income of $300,000 or more by limiting itemized or standard state income tax deductions to $1,000 for single tax return filers and $2,000 for joint tax return filers for the purposes of fully funding the healthy school meals for all program to continue paying for public schools to offer free breakfast and lunch to all public school students while also increasing wages for employees who prepare and serve school meals, helping schools use basic, nutritious ingredients, instead of processed products, and ensuring that Colorado grown and raised products are part of school meals; supporting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that helps low-income Colorado families afford groceries; and allowing the state to retain and spend as a voter-approved revenue change all additional tax revenue generated by these tax deduction changes?

The BCDP Two-Part Voting Process

As per BCDP Bylaws, in order to provide ballot measure recommendations, the Executive Committee will engage in a two-part voting process: The first vote will consider establishing a position on the measure.

The second vote, to consider support or opposition to the measure, passed by a 2/3 majority to support, therefore: the BCDP Recommends YES on Proposition MM

RATIONALE

BCDP Recommends YES on PROPOSITION MM:

RATIONALE in Support of Proposition MM (from the Colorado General Assembly Legislative Council) —

1) Proposition MM ensures that free school meals are available to all Colorado students. The Healthy School Meals for All Program has been more highly utilized than anticipated, demonstrating the strong need for a universal free school meal program. Access to free school meals improves academic and health outcomes and helps families at a time when food costs are rising and federal assistance is declining. When fully implemented, the program also provides students with locally sourced, healthy food and boosts compensation for school meal workers in Colorado communities.

2) Many Colorado families and individuals rely on SNAP for some or all of their food needs. SNAP improves health, economic, and educational outcomes for low-income families. The funding provided by the measure will lessen the impact of recent federal cuts to the program and allow the state to continue important food assistance and nutrition education programs.
