Media Advisory: Post-Prop. HH Debate Comment Available Tonight, Tomorrow

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Tony Gagliardi, Colorado State Director, tony.gagliardi@nfib.org, or Tony Malandra, Senior Media Manager, anthony.malandra@nfib.org DENVER, Oct. 23, 2023—Tony Gagliardi, Colorado state director for the National Federation of Independent Business, will be available for comment before and after tonight’s debate on Proposition HH featuring Gov. Jared Polis. Gagliardi can be reached by email at tony.gagliardi@nfib.org. The debate, hosted by the Denver Gazette, Colorado Politics, and 9News, begins at 7 p.m. and will be live streamed on coloradopolitics.com and denvergazette.com. More information here. Gov. Jared Polis and economist Arthur Laffer will argue for passage of Prop. HH and Michael Fields, president of the Advance Colorado Institute, and State Rep. Rose Pugliese will argue for the defeat of the November ballot measure. Last Thursday (October 19), NFIB announced the launch of a video ad to complement its radio and digital ads urging voters to preserve TABOR and reject Proposition HH. NFIB’s campaign against the measure can be found on this landing page. Colorado small business owners are decidedly against Prop. HH, voting 90% in opposition to tossing something overboard that for 30 years has returned hard-earned money back to them. Related NFIB News Releases
