Americans for Prosperity Colorado

Americans for Prosperity Colorado is the state chapter of Americans for Prosperity, a conservative advocacy network that promotes free-market policies, lower taxes, and reduced government regulation. The organization frequently engages in grassroots campaigns and lobbying efforts at the state legislature.

The group is opposing Amendment 87, a 2026 ballot measure that would replace Colorado's flat income tax with a graduated income tax structure. The Americans For Prosperity Colorado Issue Committee, alongside the conservative committee Your Family's Future Alliance, has collectively raised $65,417 to campaign against the measure. The organization's state director, Jesse Mallory, has publicly argued against the amendment, stating that taxpayers should retain their money rather than providing more revenue to the government.

AFP Colorado has a long history of involvement in state ballot measures, typically supporting tax cuts and opposing tax increases or changes to the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR). In 2020, the group supported Proposition 116, which lowered the state income tax rate, and Proposition 117, which required voter approval for certain new state enterprises. The organization also campaigned against Proposition HH in 2023, Proposition CC in 2019, and Amendment 73 in 2018.
