Colorado State Capital | Photo: I, Morcheeba, via Wikimedia CommonsAfter a quarter century of steady population growth adding two Congressional Districts, Colorado is facing a significant slowdown. Colorado County Commissioners, meeting in their statewide convention on June 3, 2025, will assess the challenges.
As I said to the Metro Mayors Caucus in January, four days after President Trump’s inauguration in what now sounds like an understatement,
“As the new Trump Administration begins, Colorado’s relationship with Washington will change at the same time its population growth, economy, and fiscal health is being challenged.”
Colorado Counties Inc. (CCI) is a statewide association that assists counties concerning state legislation, federal relations and other local government policies. They provide training and data for commissioners. While this year’s budget shortfalls are dominant, Colorado is approaching an important election in 2026 for statewide and local offices. I will discuss the challenging political environment.
CCI officers are:| Scott Weaver | Yuma County |
| Lesley Dahlkemper | Jefferson County |
| Kristen Stephens | Larimer County |
| Wendell Koontz | Delta County |
| Tom Hass | Las Animas County |
| Merrit Linke | Grand County |
| Connie Warren-Gully | Arapahoe County |
| Steve O’Dosorio | Adams County |
| Executive Director | Kelly Flenniken |
