The Colorado Working Families Party (CO-WFP) announced on Sept. 18, its first endorsements for the November 2025 Coordinated Election. In addition to taking positions on statewide and local ballot measures, the party endorsed 23 municipal and school board candidates.

We’re proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with them to win this November.”

 

In Boulder, COWFP is endorsing Mayor Pro Tem Lauren Folkerts and Councilmember Nicole Speer for reelection to City Council. “Our community deserves leaders who will take on the tough fights and work to ensure Boulder is a place where everyone belongs,” said Mayor Pro Tem Lauren Folkerts. “I’m honored to have the support of the Working Families Party, and together we’ll keep working to create a more equitable, sustainable, and inclusive city.”

 

We’re proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with them to win this November.”

Together, we can build an Aurora where every family has the chance to thrive.”

Strong public schools are the foundation of strong communities.”

 

In Pueblo, COWFP is endorsing Tommy Farrell for the Pueblo D60 School Board. “I’m running for the Pueblo School District 60 Board of Education because every student deserves a safe, supportive, and high-quality education,” said Farrell. “As a former board member and lifelong advocate for public schools, I bring experience, dedication, and a deep belief in the power of community.
