State Senator, SD-23 (R)| 4th-generation Coloradan| JBC budget hawk fighting for TABOR, law enforcement, lower costs & real results for Colorado.

[Barb Kirkmeyer @SenKirkmeyer]

A lot of buzz about the budget these days!

Anytime the JBC wants to cut spending or eliminate a program we ALL have to agree to change the law.

News flash! It takes at least 33 Representatives, 18 Senators and 1 Governor to agree with us to make that happen!

A lot of gibberish about the JBC and the adoption of our State Budget lately.
But I’m here to help my fellow legislators out and a few others!🫢

The Bottom Line: Six legislators draft the budget. ALL 100 legislators have the opportunity to debate, amend, and vote on it.

I am proud to announce this ballot breakdown and ballot Q/A with @SenKirkmeyer . My co-host Stephanie VandenBerg and I believe that voters should cast their ballot with full confidence understanding the many ballot questions facing us this fall. Our main goal is to let the voters decide but understand is X issue passes or fails what life here in Colorado may/would look like. You do not want to miss this.

It’s that easy - vote No No on NN
No on 87. And No on 137.

*If it ends in N or 7- just vote NO*

📺️ State @SenKirkmeyer, the Republican senator on the Joint Budget Committee, joins The OpEdge to break down Colorado's mounting budget challenges and the rapid growth in Medicaid spending. Kirkmeyer tells host and investigative columnist @SengCengter why the state has a spending problem, not a revenue problem — and warns that Proposition NN and Amendment 87 would fundamentally reshape Colorado's tax landscape for the worse. #copolitics

Our ballots are going to be huge but we'll help you decide, why is Denver cutting addiction spending when so many addicts are on our streets, and shades of anti semitism on the dysfunctional Denver School Board. It's the BLOG!

When candidates show you who they are believe them!

1. Butler is associating himself with DSA

2. BUTLER WANTS TO RAISE TAXES ON HARDWORKING Coloradans

3. Butler doesn’t know what he is talking about; K-12 schools ARE fully funded as required by the Constitution.

Tommy Butler is just wrong for Colorado! When it’s time to vote -Vote

Eastern and southern CO -
You’ve got one heck of a legislator in @RepTyWinter representing you in Denver.

Strong, smart and always shows up!!
And never a loss for words🤗

[Representative Ty Winter @RepTyWinter]

Had the best kind of Colorado weekend 🇺🇸 the kind that reminds you why this work matters! Started in Pueblo at the rally, then headed to Walsenburg for the Mountain Mining Days Parade, and wrapped it in La Junta watching my daughter play volleyball. From the energy in the crowd to the pride on those streets to the grit on the court , HD47 has the best people! Grateful to represent you. #TyHD47

Don’t let Prop NN’s education pitch fool you.

Prop NN isn’t just about education. It’s about permanently growing government and taking away your TABOR refunds.

Those are your dollars. Colorado should learn to live within its means, not keep asking taxpayers for more.

And actually, when you start digging into this, it's even worse.
