2022 ELECTION
Both the Apartment Association of Metropolitan Denver and the Colorado Apartment Association give significant amounts of money to candidates that support our industry to help them fund their campaigns . These contribution decisions are made by committees , including the Alliance , AAMD Small Donor Committee , CAA Small Donor Committee and the Boards of Director for both AAMD and CAA . Those decisions come after extensive analysis on candidate viability as well as past and expected support for our industry . This election cycle AAMD and CAA collectively contributed more than $ 550,000 to support candidates in the state elections .
The primary strategy of the Association is to achieve more balanced representation in both the House and the Senate so that it is more difficult for any single political party to enact significant legal changes . Regardless of political philosophy and persuasion , divided government allows us to more easily prevent harmful legislation and navigate through technical issues . Balanced government is good for our industry .
Below is a list of candidates that the Association believes is important for you to consider , and ultimately support and vote for to protect our industry . We have not included those races where the districts are so heavily dominated by a single party that your vote will likely not make a difference . For those races where we have proven industry supporters on both sides we are including both candidate names , but not including a recommendation which might negatively impact current relationships .
If you vote in one of the following state districts , we urge you to complete your mail-in ballot and cast your vote for the following rental housing supportive candidates .
