Election integrity
The Secretary of State must ensure that every Colorado voter is protected through the implementation of basic safeguards against vote fraud. This includes safeguards to protect voter registration, absentee voting, Election Day voting and electioneering, vote counting, and voter identification.

Open elections
We have a sacred responsibility to make sure that every eligible voter has the opportunity to register and vote. Voter intimidation or discouragement cannot be tolerated.

Counting votes equally
We must have standards in place to make sure each vote is treated the same. It is the Secretary of State’s duty to vigorously prohibit manipulation of voter eligibility and vote counts.

Campaign finance
Colorado’s campaign finance laws are too complex and arbitrary, oftentimes handcuffing our candidates and increasing the likelihood of smear campaigns. We must improve the clarity and application of rules and regulations, so people better understand the law, and we must make sure everyone is treated equally.

Transparency in government
Significant changes must be made to our campaign finance, lobbyist, and charitable organization databases. It can be difficult to enter and find information. We must create a more user-friendly website.

Business filings
In our current economy, we must increase the usability and efficiency of the electronic business filing system. It is imperative that the Secretary of State anticipates and meets businesses' needs, so we have on-demand, self-service 24 hours a day, at the lowest cost possible.

Local choice
Just as states can develop voting systems that fit their specific needs, local home rule entities should also have substantial leeway in voting systems. To that end, the state legislature should allow home rule municipalities and counties to develop voting methods that meet their needs, including approval voting and range voting.
