Voters in Douglas County will decide on June 24th, 2025 whether to create a Home Rule Charter Commission, and who to place on the Commission.
If approved, this Commission will craft a new Home Rule Charter that voters will decide on during this November’s Election.
If approved, this Home Rule Charter will make Douglas County the third Colorado County to become Home Rule.
The Colorado Constitution allows Counties and Municipalities to adopt Home Rule status, which allows for more local control and greater flexibility to solve local issues.
As you most likely know, the Colorado State Legislature has gone off the rails these past few years, passing legislation to restrict our rights, including our gun rights and parental rights.
The State Legislature has also crafted top-down policies to force communities to adopt high-density housing schemes and mass-transit corridors.
