Colorado has two competitive House races this year: in CO-3 and in CO-8. To win these races, donors should support two groups working to engage key Democratic constituencies:
New Era Colorado Action Fund harnesses young people's political power to co-create a better Colorado for everyone. It has a strong record of engaging and mobilizing young voters, turning out its base 20 pts higher than the state average, along with a deep understanding of highly competitive CO-3 and CO-8, where it has organizers on the ground. To help win in the districts, New Era will run a full-scale turnout program targeting young voters at local college campuses, as well as through canvassing, text messages, phone calls, and direct mail, and digital programs.
CIRC Action Fund works to increase civic participation and build power among new Americans. This grassroots organizing group has worked extensively in CO-3 and CO-8, especially in Pueblo, which has a large Latino population. To help flip C0-3 and hold CO-8, CIRC Action will engage and mobilize voters through canvassing, phone, mail, and a digital program that includes text messaging, digital ads, and social media.

This recommendation was developed by People’s House, which helps donors support effective electoral groups that are working to engage voters and elect Democrats in competitive congressional districts. It is a project of Blue Tent, an independent research site that makes recommendations for how Democratic and progressive donors can give with maximum impact to win elections and advance change.
