Colorado’s budget is in a grim spot, and the state’s schools are one of the victims of recent cuts. Colorado Commits is a campaign designed to educated citizens about not only the state of the budget and its affect on our kids (and our economy), but also to propose some solutions to help get Colorado’s schools out of this fix.
There are several prongs to this ongoing campaign, including branding, several television commercials OnSight was able to film, edit, and get on the air on short notice, as well as a web site which will be housing information and opportunities for citizens to get educated and involved as the campaign progresses.
Elise ran a fantastic campaign, with a solid showing at local debates, strong fundraising, and a robust volunteer and outreach corps. Elise and her volunteers had hundreds of conversations, knocked on over a thousand doors, and made thousands of phone calls, during nearly nine months of reaching out to Boulder County voters.
OnSight was proud to help Elise with a branded and structured mail outreach program, campaign strategy consultation, and social media and web presence design and input throughout Elise’s campaign.
We are proud of the honest and professional campaign Elise ran, and wish her luck through the rest of her election season.
Pedal The Plains is in need of three people to carry the banner of the Plain Pedaler this summer. Plain Pedalers will get FREE ENTRY into Pedal The Plains, as well as other cycling events in Colorado. PLUS they get the opportunity to tell their stories and share their photos of training, riding, and exploring the state on the Pedal The Plains web site.
This exciting contest will take advantage of social media outreach and highlight riders’ creativity and social media connections. It will harness the power of cycling fans’ existing social networks to promote the race itself, as well as cycling all over Colorado, while giving participants the chance to be creative and publicize their own photos and writing through Pedal The Plains’ networks.
Check out great new campaign video from Ed Perlmutter, along with the new pEDometer, which will be tracking how many steps he takes and miles he walks to get out talking to constituents in the 7th CD of Colorado.
A proposal to reform the way the state of Colorado manages hiring has been moving through the works. The reform measure — which will be presented to voters as a referendum this fall — was just signed by the Governor on Tuesday.

DENVER—Colorado state employees could see revised job protections under a measure headed to ballots this fall.
Gov. John Hickenlooper signed the proposal to revise personnel regulations on Wednesday. The governor’s signature is the last step before the changes go to voters.
Many of the protections are in the state constitution and therefore require a public vote to change.
The new rules would revise how state employees are hired and get rid of a little-used rule that protects senior employees over younger employees in case of layoffs. The measure would also revise merit-pay provisions that workers complain haven’t worked as promised.
The state’s largest public-employee union is neutral on the changes.
