Colorado Conservation Voters works to turn conservation values into Colorado priorities. Our mission is to make protecting Colorado’s environment a top priority for voters, political candidates, and elected officials in Colorado. CCV educates the public about the conservation positions of candidates and elected officials, and holds elected officials accountable for their environmental records.

CCV STATEMENT ON GOVERNOR RITTER’S DECISION NOT TO SEEK RE-ELECTION

We’re saddened to learn of Governor Ritter’s decision not to seek re-election.  The Governor’s leadership has been critical in making Colorado the national leader in the Clean Energy Economy, creating tens of thousands of new jobs and strengthening our economy, while helping to move the state towards energy independence.  The Governor’s leadership has also been instrumental in preserving our valued Coloradan way of life - protecting our drinking water, public health, communities and our natural resources for future generations.
