Colorado likely voters want elected officials to address concerns including access to housing, mass incarceration, and the economy
DENVER – ACLU of Colorado commissioned a groundbreaking statewide poll of 1,223 likely voters in Colorado on which issues were most concerning to them and the top reasons they are casting a ballot this November. The poll, implemented by the African American Research Collaborative (AARC) on behalf of the ACLU focused particularly on the opinions of young Black and Latinx voters in Colorado.
ACLU of Colorado and nationally-recognized political strategist and AARC CEO, Henry Fernandez, J.D. will be presenting key findings in a virtual briefing on September 13 at 11:30 AM. The briefing will delve into Colorado voters’ opinions on access to housing, cost of living, immigration, and criminal justice reform. Deborah Richardson, ACLU of Colorado Executive Director, will provide remarks on how the findings will inform the ACLU and partner organizations’ new multi-year plan to mobilize historically disenfranchised voters. Questions from members of the media will be taken during the briefing.
