How Colorado voted on ballot measures

Colorado voters faced one of the longest ballots in state history Tuesday, weighing in on everything from transgender rights and taxes to fentanyl penalties and fishing. Why it matters: Together, the 14 measures put major policy decisions directly in voters' hands — and delivered conservatives some victories in an otherwise overwhelmingly blue election . Zoom in: Here's how Coloradans voted, as of 2:30pm Friday, based on preliminary results from the Secretary of State's Office , AP race calls and campaigns' declarations of victory and defeat. 👍 What passed: Amendment 87: Raises income taxes on high earners while lowering rates for most taxpayers. Proposition 132: Increases penalties for fentanyl possession and distribution. Proposition 133: Mandates life without parole for child sex trafficking and expands the crime's definition. Proposition 134: Bars transgender athletes from school sports teams that don't match their sex assigned at birth. Proposition 135: Bans certain gender-transition surgeries for minors and insurance coverage for them. Proposition 137: Directs existing sales tax revenue from sporting goods toward conservation and wildfire mitigation. Proposition NN: Allows Colorado to retain TABOR refunds for education, children's programs and other purposes. Yes, and: Front Range voters also approved Ballot Issue 7A, which will raise sales

Uninsured and flooded out, a Colorado man worries if life will be normal again

EDITH, Colorado – Matthew Martinez has lived nearly all of his 60 years in a canyon on the Navajo River and had never seen severe floods. Then, twice over the last two weeks, the river surged through his home and outbuildings in far southwestern Colorado, about 25 miles south of the resort town of Pagosa Springs. Now a horse is missing, his barn is damaged and the river swallowed a corral. The house is strewn with mud. His tools washed downstream.

Northwest Colorado News for Friday, Nov. 6, 2026

Colorado Parks and Wildlife has completed the investigation of the dead horse found in a pasture about five miles south of Hayden. CPW spokesperson Luke Perkins says, “Evidence found at the scene, the lack of any known wolves in the vicinity, and confirmation that the closest collared wolves were approximately 27 kilometers away led to the determination that this was not a confirmed wolf depredation.”

OPINION: The Wrong Solution for the Fentanyl Crisis

‘No on 132’ campaign chair Kyle Giddings released the following statement regarding the results of Proposition 132:. “The outcome of Proposition 132 is deeply disappointing, but our fight for real, effective solutions to the fentanyl crisis will not end here. Advance Colorado and their billionaire backers spent millions of dollars to mislead voters and push forward this ballot measure that provides no funding for treatment and diverts $566 million away from Colorado’s health care and education straight to the pockets of private prison corporations.

Historic flooding in southwest Colorado

The Colorado Congressional delegation has asked President Trump to respond to Gov. Jared Polis’s request for an expedited Presidential Major Disaster Declaration following devastating and historic flooding and debris flows in southwestern Colorado and the San Luis Valley. The delegation said the request pertains to the initial flooding on Oct. 22-25, the plea came in the midst of a second catastrophic flooding event across the same region, which adds urgency to their request.
