With current Gov. John Hickenlooper term-limited, Colorado will choose another leader for the next four years on Election Day. Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis and Republican state Treasurer Walker Stapleton are facing off to replace him in the biggest of the midterm races.
While many are focused on the topline matchup to replace Hickenlooper, that doesn't mean the undercards are anything to ignore — especially on the new tax front. Many municipalities and counties will be asking for money, and there's a few statewide asks too. The ballot in Colorado will have a lot for each voter to consider, it's our hope that this guide will help answer your questions.
