In Case You Missed Our District 2 Forum
Thank you to the candidates who took the time to attend our forum on Tuesday: Eileen Lynch Gonzales, Doriena Longmire, Aaron Simpson and Ryan Thompson! We offered those candidates in attendance the opportunity to submit brief closing remarks for voters who missed the forum. Those that we received are below:
Ryan Thompson:

I have observed that many of these school board elections can become contentious. Yet in Harrison I have come to know, and like five very qualified individuals. I am comfortable in stating that no matter who ...
2013 General Election Voter Guide is Here!
From a young age, most American citizens have spent hours in classrooms and social situations being told how important it is to vote. We are not as frequently reminded of how important it is to make an informed vote. That is why, for the past 21 years, Citizens Project has been providing the Colorado Springs community with nonpartisan voter guides for local elections to help you make an informed decision.
Your vote is your voice in our governance and our future. At Citizens Project, we believe that school board elections are among the most important, and sometimes these races come down to a mere 100 or 200 votes. Therefore, your vote is ...

Ready, Set, Vote!!
The Colorado Springs municipal election is rapidly approaching, and with six new council seats up for grabs and two potential ballot measures, this election is one you won't want to miss!

Election Season Rolls On…
In 2010, Colorado Springs voters made history by approving a ballot measure that creates a “strong mayor.” Seven candidates campaigned for your vote in the April 5, 2011 municipal election. As the results were announced, it became obvious that Colorado Springs was headed for a runoff election.
The City Charter requires a runoff election for the top two vote-getters in the event no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote. These candidates are Richard Skorman and Steve Bach, who received 35.85% and 33.41%, respectively.
Thus the battle begins. So far, the candidates have squared off at one debate, and there are more in the works ...
