The November 2026 mid-term elections contain several races/propositions that are of primary interest to the PPA and its membership.  The Board of Directors has met with candidates, discussed the propositions and have made the following recommendations and endorsements.

Proposition 132: Increase Penalties for Fentanyl Crimes

• Proposition 132 makes  possession of any amount of fentanyl a felony, requires a mandatory minimum 8-year prison sentence for any quantity of fentanyl distribution, and eliminates options to reduce penalties for certain possession and distribution offenses.  Additionally, courts must order treatment for individuals charged with possessing less than one gram of a substance containing fentanyl, regardless of the circumstances.
• The PPA Board of Directors strongly urges that you vote in favor (YES) on Proposition 132.

Proposition 133: Penalties for Human Trafficking of Minors

• Proposition 133 mandates that anyone convicted of child sex trafficking be sentenced to life in prison without parole, as opposed to the  current sentencing range of 8 to 48 years.
• The PPA Board of Directors strongly urges that you vote in favor (YES) on Proposition 133.

Attorney General Race: Michael Allen vs Jenna Griswold

• The PPA issued an early endorsement of Michael Allen in his bid for CO Attorney General. His track record serving the 4th Judicial District demonstrates his commitment to public safety and the protection of victims’ rights. During his tenure, he brought a record number of cases to trial and achieved a record number of convictions. He meets regularly with the PPA Board and he and his staff continue to be very accessible to the PPA.
• The PPA Board of Directors strongly urges that you vote in favor (YES) of Michael Allen.

5th Congressional District Race, House of Representatives: Jeff Crank (R) vs Jessica Killin (D)

CO State Senate District 9: Terri Carver (R) vs William Moses (D)

• The PPA previously endorsed Terri Carver during her tenure as a CO State Representative (2015-2022).  Prior to elected office, she was a us Air Force JAG and retired as a Colonel after 29 years of active and reserve duty.  Terri is a strong proponent of law enforcement, reaches out for our opinion on bills impacting officers, and supports policies to hold criminals accountable.  Her voting record while in the State House speaks for itself.
