Be a voice for kids in the 2024 election

Do you know where the candidates stand on the most important kids’ health issues? Do they know your opinions and ideas? When candidates call you, knock on your door or hold town hall meetings, will you be ready to ask them the questions that count? Here are some questions you can ask the candidates who want your vote.

  1. Colorado is experiencing a youth mental health crisis, with suicide being the leading cause of death for kids starting at age 10. How would you lead efforts to address the youth mental health crisis in our state?
  2. With the end of the federal public health emergency declaration in 2023, more than 200,000 children in Colorado have lost their Medicaid coverage. What steps do you plan to take to prevent future disruptions in Medicaid coverage for children?
  3. Children's health and wellness extends beyond traditional healthcare and is greatly impacted by the conditions of their homes, communities and schools. What policies will you advocate for to improve whole child health if elected?
