Why this matters: Background and experience help you judge how someone might do the job. These come from public records and the candidate's own materials.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

§3What they've said on the issues
Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
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.
Taxes and Budget
His campaign website says he would use zero-based budgeting and create a Colorado version of DOGE to cut waste, duplication and unnecessary regulation for a smaller state government.6
Education
His campaign website says he would expand educational options in every district through school choice, charter schools, home schooling support and vocational programs.6
Immigration
His campaign website says Colorado should fully cooperate with federal immigration enforcement involving violent criminals, drug traffickers, gang members and others who threaten public safety.6
Abortion and Reproductive Health
His campaign website says every human life has value and that he will support policies that protect life while also supporting mothers, families and adoption services.6
Crime, Policing and Prisons
His campaign website says he would work to restore qualified immunity for all law enforcement officers in Colorado.6
Energy and Climate
His campaign website says that if communities choose to allow data centers, Colorado families should not subsidize them, and that they must use Colorado companies and protect water and the electric grid.6
- Encourage new data centers with tax breaks and faster approvals
- Require data centers to pay the full cost of the power plants and lines they need
- Pause or limit new data centers
§4Popular bills that never got a vote
Why this matters: Many bills with wide support from both parties never reach a vote, so no member of Congress is ever on record for or against them. Signing on as a sponsor or cosponsor is the only public record of support.
While Greg Lopez served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Greg Lopez sponsored or cosponsored 2 of the 26. How bills die without a vote.

§5Money
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.33
§6Financial disclosures
Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
