Vote Common Sense is a Colorado issue committee formed in May 2026 to oppose a broad slate of statewide ballot measures. Widely described in press reports as a coalition of liberal-leaning organizations, the committee is funded by groups advocating for environmental, labor, and reproductive rights. Its largest contributors include the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition Action Fund, the Cobalt Foundation, Conservation Colorado, the Colorado Fund for Children and Public Education, and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees.
The committee is registered to campaign against at least nine initiatives on the 2026 ballot, including Amendments 81, 82, 84, and 85, as well as Propositions 132, 133, 134, 135, and 136. These measures cover a wide array of policies, such as requiring law enforcement to report certain individuals to federal immigration authorities, establishing a constitutional right to natural gas, mandating additional identification for mail ballots, and capping state income tax rates. Several of the initiatives opposed by Vote Common Sense are backed by the conservative advocacy organization Advance Colorado.
According to state campaign finance records, Vote Common Sense had raised approximately $495,000 by mid-September 2026 to fund its opposition campaigns. The committee's registered agent is Ashley Stevens.
