Colorado groups push policies on hunting, taxes, transgender issues this November election

Colorado advocacy groups are widening the 2026 ballot fight with campaigns on taxes, transportation, hunting and transgender policy, according to recent reporting and state filings.

The measures are part of a broad November election push that has already produced qualified ballot questions and additional proposals still moving through the signature process.

Taxes and roads

One of the central proposals is a graduated income tax measure backed by the Protect Colorado’s Future Coalition. Bell Policy Center materials describe it as a plan to raise revenue for public services.

Another proposal, Initiative #175, would direct state revenue to support road transportation. The Colorado General Assembly’s initiative materials describe it as a proposed constitutional measure tied to road funding.

Colorado Politics reported that groups supporting and opposing the measures were already raising and spending money ahead of the election.

Hunting and transgender policy

The same campaign landscape also includes measures on hunting and fishing rights and proposals focused on transgender youth policy.

Colorado Secretary of State officials said on March 17 that Proposed Initiative #110 qualified for the November 3, 2026, general election ballot. CPR News reported that two transgender-focused measures, Initiatives 109 and 110, had qualified for the ballot.

The state’s ballot activity reflects a crowded policy year in which organized groups are using signature drives, fundraising and public campaigning to shape the November contest.

What happens next

Some measures are already on the ballot, while others are still working through the qualification process. The next major developments will likely come from additional signature verification, campaign finance filings and any legal or administrative challenges before Election Day.
