Secretary of State Jena Griswold Applauds the Colorado Legislature for Expanding Disclosure of Electioneering Communications

Denver, March 8, 2019 – Today, the Colorado Legislature passed SB-068. It now awaits the Governor’s signature. The following statement can be attributed to Jena Griswold, Colorado’s 39th Secretary of State:

“I applaud the Colorado Legislature for passing Senate Bill 68, expanding disclosure of electioneering communications. Previously there were groups that spent with the intent to influence Colorado elections between the end of a primary and the 60 days prior to the general election that did not have to disclose who they were, or their political communications. We need to ensure that interest groups are playing by a better set of rules in our state politics, and this bill helps move us closer to that goal by adding a layer of transparency to political spending.”
