Elizabeth Caven

Elizabeth Caven is the outreach director and policy analyst for Advance Colorado, a conservative advocacy group and think tank. She is a designated proponent of Colorado Amendment 86, a 2026 ballot measure that would require any mid-decade congressional redistricting plan to be approved by both the state's independent redistricting commission and the Colorado Supreme Court. Caven filed the initiative alongside Suzanne Taheri, an attorney who also works with Advance Colorado. State records also list Caven as a designated representative for Amendment 81, a 2026 measure concerning law enforcement reporting requirements to federal authorities.

Before joining Advance Colorado, Caven worked as a legislative aide in the Colorado House of Representatives for nearly three years. In her current role, she authors policy papers and represents the organization's positions on state legislation and ballot initiatives. During the 2026 election cycle, Caven has publicly opposed Proposition NN, a measure seeking to redirect Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) refunds to education funding. In a published report, she argued that the measure's open-ended language would effectively eliminate the refunds indefinitely. She has also authored reports for Advance Colorado criticizing state crime policies and opposing proposed income tax changes.
