Carmen Broesder: 2026 gubernatorial candidate

 Running for governor isn’t about personal ambition for me. It’s about whether Colorado keeps control of its land, its hospitals, and its future, or quietly loses them to forces that don’t live here and don’t answer to us.

Grassroots campaigns like this one don’t run on corporate money or backroom deals. They run on people deciding that what happens next is worth investing in.

Your contribution helps us do very practical things:

• Keep this campaign legally compliant and transparent
   
• Travel to rural and underserved communities that are often ignored
   
• Build the infrastructure needed to communicate clearly with voters
   
• Stand up to well-funded interests without being owned by them
   

This campaign is intentionally people-powered. That means we grow slower, but we grow honestly.

When you donate, you are supporting a campaign that believes:

• Rural hospitals should exist to save lives, not generate profit
   
• Farms and water should stay in local hands
   
• No one should be denied emergency care because of politics or cost
   
• Colorado should never be used as a testing ground for mass detention or forced institutionalization
   
• Government should be steady, competent, and accountable, not chaotic or captured
   

This is not about left versus right.
It’s about whether Colorado works for the people who live here.

This campaign does not accept corporate PAC or AIPAC money.

I have been involved in community and housing work outside of this campaign, but this campaign is legally separate, ethically separate, and focused solely on earning your vote and your trust.

Every dollar donated here supports this campaign and only this campaign.

Colorado campaign finance law requires us to collect certain information from contributors whose total donations exceed $100 in an election cycle.

If you donate more than $100, you will be asked to provide:

• Your full name
   
• Your home address
   
• Your occupation
   
• The name of your employer
  (If you are self-employed, retired, unemployed, or a student, you may indicate that.)
   

This information is required by state law and is reported to the Colorado Secretary of State. It is used for public campaign finance reporting and compliance purposes only.

Additional notes:

• Contributions are not tax deductible
   
• Contributions must be made with the donor’s own funds
   
• Contributions from corporations, foreign nationals, and certain entities are prohibited by law
   
• There are legal limits on how much an individual may contribute per election cycle
   

If you have questions about eligibility or reporting, please contact the campaign before donating.

If you’re able to contribute financially, thank you. Truly. It helps keep this campaign viable in a system designed to favor those with deep pockets.

If you can’t give right now, that’s okay. Sharing the campaign, volunteering, or simply paying attention matters too.

This is a long road, and we’re walking it together.
