WHO WE ARE
We are a group of Coloradans who are fed up with increasing costs in our state.
We need state-level policy solutions that immediately provide relief and support to Coloradans by reducing costs in the short-term and, in the long-term, addressing the comprehensive problems contributing to the increasing cost of living.
"We all know – because the voters have told us – that we need to work to make Colorado more affordable." - Governor Jared Polis, State of the State, 2024
“…affordable housing, affordable healthcare, affordable childcare, those are the issues we hear about when we go home and hold a town hall with our neighbors.” –Speaker Julie McCluskie, 2026.

THE PROBLEM
Every Coloradan knows that the cost of living in our beautiful state has increased at a rapid rate. Colorado families and businesses are struggling to keep up.
COST OF HOME OWNERSHIP
The average purchase price of a home in Colorado is $594,000 , an increase of about $60,000 since 2022. As of 2026, new Colorado laws will only drive up the cost of home maintenance. For example, residential HVAC prices are expected to increase by at least 40%. These rising prices are unsustainable for Colorado homeowners.
COST OF EVERYDAY LIFE
Prices for groceries like chicken and milk have skyrocketed. Last year, milk was up to $4.92 from $2.99. The annual cost for childcare in Colorado is $21,840, making it the fourth most expensive state in the country. More than ever before, Coloradans are struggling just to scrape by.
SO WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT?
The Colorado legislature needs to work on policy solutions that provide immediate relief to financially strained Coloradans, reducing costs in the short-term and, in the long-term, tackling the comprehensive problems contributing to the increasing cost of living.
