For media inquiries, please contact Teresa Busk at [email protected].

DENVER – The Colorado Chamber Political Action Committee (PAC) today announced the launch of Colorado Decides, a new online resource that serves as a comprehensive guide to Colorado’s state elections and a portal for Chamber PAC members.

Colorado Decides offers reliable, nonpartisan election information by bringing together candidate overviews, ballot measures and essential voting resources to support informed civic participation across Colorado. The site includes resources on races at the federal, statewide, and state legislative levels, along with information on upcoming ballot initiatives, voter registration, and where and how to vote. As the General Election approaches, the Colorado Chamber PAC will also publish questionnaires in statewide and federal races for the public to be informed about where candidates stand on key business issues.

“As we gear up for Colorado’s upcoming primary and general elections, the Chamber continues to build out and expand our political program to provide helpful resources to voters and members of our PAC,” said Meghan Dollar, head of the Chamber’s political operations. “In addition to basic election information, Colorado Decides also offers exclusive access to key election insights for Chamber PAC members as part of our candidate assessment process.”

A key feature of the Chamber’s political program includes an extensive state legislative candidate interview and endorsement process, which involves a powerful network of more than 60 of Colorado companies, trade associations and local chambers of commerce that back candidates who support business. The Colorado Chamber’s PAC initiatives have expanded in recent years, with the Board making endorsements in state primary elections for the first time in 2022 to grow its influence in key races.

This year, Colorado Decides will offer PAC Board members insights ahead of the Chamber’s candidate interviews. This includes detailed analyses of candidates’ campaigns, fundraising efforts, legislative districts and voter performance history, which will now be available exclusively to PAC Board members through a password-protected portal on the Colorado Decides website.

During the PAC’s interview process, candidates are evaluated on their campaign strategies and asked policy questions covering topics critical to the Colorado business community. The Chamber PAC then endorses both open seat candidates and incumbents from across the political spectrum who represent diverse interests statewide. More information on how to gain access to the PAC Board interview process and Colorado Decides portal can be found here.

Chamber PAC interviews 2026 election cycle will occur from May to July. Interviews are confidential and only available to PAC members. Details on the upcoming schedule can be found here. Official Colorado Chamber PAC primary endorsements will be announced in late May while General Election endorsements will be announced in July.
