Bike Fort Collins | March 2019
Get to Know Fort Collins Candidates
It's almost election time in Fort Collins! By March 18 all registered voters (register here ) will be mailed their ballots, which need to be returned by 7 p.m. on April 2 to the City Clerk.

All voters will be electing a new mayor, and voters in Districts 2, 4 and 6 will be electing representatives. In addition to electing representatives, voters are usually presented with ballot issues, such as Charter amendments, financial issues, or initiated or referred ordinances or resolutions.

As your local bicycling nonprofit, Bike Fort Collins feels informed voters are an important mechanism to support safe enjoyable roads for ALL cyclists in our community. Each election year there are candidates for both local offices and local ballot measures that could have some impact upon our bicycling environment. With the objective of educating voters on local candidates views towards bicycling, we’ve sent a short questionnaire to this years candidates.

View our website here to view candidates' responses. We will update as responses come in. 

Bike Fort Collins cannot take any official position endorsing candidates, this is information for you to potentially consider when making your own decisions.
