Frequently Asked Questions

Which employers have the most politically active employees in Colorado?

The top employers in Colorado by employee donations include major local employers, universities, hospitals, and national companies with significant Colorado operations. Together they account for $12.3M in contributions from Colorado-based employees.

What is the difference between the state total and national total columns?

The Colorado Total column shows only donations from employees located in Colorado. The National Total shows the employer's aggregate donations from all states. This helps you see how much of a company's political giving comes from its Colorado workforce.

Do these donations represent the employer's official position?

No. These are individual contributions from employees, not corporate donations. Federal law prohibits direct corporate contributions to candidates. Employee political activity does not necessarily reflect the employer's official stance.
