Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.

His campaign website says data centers and other large energy users should be able to run their own nuclear reactors instead of drawing on local power and raising consumers' costs.5

§4Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left.
Candidates for governor file campaign-finance reports with the state, not the FEC, so this guide doesn't include their fundraising. Search the state's reports: TRACER campaign finance search — Colorado Secretary of State.7
