Aaron Citron

Policy director, The Nature Conservancy in Colorado; proponent of Proposition 137

Aaron Citron is a policy director and natural resources policy advisor for The Nature Conservancy in Colorado. In this role, he leads the organization's state-level policy development and advocacy strategies, focusing on issues such as water management, forest health, and renewable energy. He also serves as the vice chair of the State Affairs Committee for the Colorado Water Congress.

Citron is a designated representative and proponent of Colorado Proposition 137, a 2026 ballot measure that would direct state sales tax revenue from sporting goods toward land and water conservation, wildfire mitigation, and outdoor recreation. The measure, backed by The Nature Conservancy and other environmental organizations, would exempt these funds from the state's Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) revenue limits.

Before his current role, Citron worked for the Environmental Defense Fund and local land trusts. He holds a law degree from the University of Arizona, where he focused on water and land use law.
