Colorado Community Media’s newsroom has already used the results of the Voter Voices surveys we have received so far. (Read the results here.)

During the primaries, we incorporated readers’ concerns about democracy and good government and the economy into questions we asked Republican and Democratic candidates for Congress in our primary forums for Colorado’s 4th District. The forums were co-sponsored with the League of Women Voters Colorado and KUNC public radio. 

We plan to do the same for more forums we’re co-sponsoring this fall. 

And, our Question and Answer surveys of candidates, which are widely read in print and online ahead of the November elections, will include Voter Voices-inspired questions and themes.

We also got to speak directly to voters and our reporters were met with appreciation in their efforts. This is just the start. We intend to keep the conversations with you going and we’re looking for ways to localize our connections with survey respondents. Watch for that.
