Now, let's take a closer look at the Colorado ballot measures. Amendment G, for example, proposes to extend the homestead property tax exemption to more veterans. Our explainer breaks down the details of this amendment and what it could mean for Colorado residents.
Amendment H, on the other hand, focuses on creating independent oversight for Colorado judges. Our explainer dives into the potential impact of this amendment and its implications for the justice system.
Another amendment to keep an eye on is Amendment I, which would allow judges to deny bail to first-degree murder defendants. We break down the arguments for and against this amendment in our explainer.
In addition to these amendments, there are other important ballot measures to consider, such as Proposition 129, which would expand Colorado's veterinary care provider pool, and Proposition 128, which would require certain prisoners to serve more of their sentences.
Moving on to the Denver, DPS, Aurora, and RTD ballot measures, one issue that has been getting a lot of attention is Ballot Issue 2R. This measure proposes to increase Denver's sales taxes to support affordable housing. Our explainer takes a closer look at the potential impact of this tax and whether Denver is ready for such a role.
Another important measure is Ballot Issue 2Q, which would increase sales taxes to support Denver Health. We break down the details and arguments surrounding this issue in our explainer.
And for those interested in animal rights, there are two initiatives to watch out for: Initiated Ordinance 309, which would shut down Denver's only slaughterhouse, and Initiated Ordinance 308, which would ban fur and potentially affect certain businesses.
Now, let's turn our attention to the candidates running for various positions. We have gathered Q&As with candidates from U.S. House Districts 1-8, the Colorado Board of Education, CU Regents, and RTD Board of Directors. These Q&As provide insights into the candidates' backgrounds, priorities, and positions on important issues.
In addition, we have a special story on the race for U.S. House District 5, a Republican stronghold where candidates will test the district's reliability.
Lastly, we also have Q&As with candidates running for Colorado State Senate. This includes Districts 2, 5, 6, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 21. These Q&As give you a chance to learn more about the candidates and their plans if elected.
