Our second annual scorecard tracking the votes that shaped Colorado’s fiscal future.

Colorado’s budget challenges didn’t appear overnight, and they won’t be solved overnight. In 2026, lawmakers faced difficult decisions about tax policy, public investments, and whether Colorado would continue prioritizing corporate tax breaks over the resources families and communities rely on every day.

The Colorado Fiscal Institute’s second annual Legislative Scorecard tracks how lawmakers voted on four key fiscal policy bills and provides a snapshot of where elected officials stood on tax fairness, revenue, and the future of the Family Affordability Tax Credit. These votes offer a clear record of who supported reforms designed to strengthen Colorado’s fiscal foundation—and who opposed them.
