If you’ve spent any time in or around Colorado politics over the last four decades or so, you’ve undoubtedly come across Donetta Davidson, the Executive Director for one of our clients, the Colorado County Clerks Association.
But the CCCA, and OnSight, are going to have to get used to seeing a little bit less of Donetta, as she has announced that she will be stepping away from her full-time job at the end of the 2015 legislative session.
When news of her departure broke, accolades poured in from across the political spectrum.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t single Donetta out here for a little admiration. Davidson is smart, friendly, sincere, tireless, and always looking out for the best interests of Colorado clerks and voters. Quite frankly, our politics and public policy could use more people like her.
And, if you know of anyone who might be interested in stepping into the big shoes she’s leaving behind with the Clerks Association, let them know that they have until April 30 to submit their resume. Details can be found online here.

Sure, Colorado tops other states when it comes to natural beauty, craft beer, hiking and biking trails, and oh so much more, but now, our voters are outpacing most other states too. In last year’s midterm elections, Colorado had the 3rd highest voter turnout. Our county clerks and elections staffers deserve major kudos for helping facilitate such a feat of democracy.
Colorado had the third-highest voter turnout in the nation in November’s midterm election, according to a report released this week. Voter turnout in the state reached 54.5 percent of the eligible voting-age population, trailing only Maine, with 58.5 percent turnout, and Wisconsin, with 56.9 percent turnout. The report was released Wednesday by the group Nonprofit Vote. Tiffany Parker, La Plata County clerk and recorder, said voting reforms passed in 2013 along with tightly fought races helped drive voters to cast ballots last year. The state Legislature authorized mail voting statewide and same-day registration. Voters were able to correct outdated or incorrect information on their voting profiles right up to Election Day.
