Colorado’s land and water define our way of life. From the fertile farmlands to the mighty Colorado River, these resources sustain our communities, fuel our economy, and shape our identity. But today, they face unprecedented threats: overuse, federal overreach, wildfires, and mismanagement by out-of-state interests.

At Colorado First Action, we believe that stewardship isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a legacy. We’re committed to defending Colorado’s rights to its resources, preserving access for farmers and ranchers, and ensuring commonsense management practices that protect our lands and water for future generations.

Defend Colorado’s Water Rights

• Stop water overuse by lower-basin states that threaten Colorado’s access to the Colorado River and other vital waterways.

• Advocate for policies that prioritize local water access for Colorado’s farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.

• Support investments in infrastructure and conservation technology to reduce waste and improve water efficiency across the state.

• Oppose out-of-state water management schemes that leave Colorado residents footing the bill.

Promote Responsible Land Management

• Expand grazing, controlled logging, and brush clearing programs to reduce the risk of devastating wildfires.

• Support commonsense legislation that ensures farmers and ranchers retain access to public lands for grazing and agricultural use.

• Advocate for local control over land management, opposing federal efforts to expand control over Colorado’s resources.

Conservation Through Colorado Values

• Encourage collaboration with private organizations, ranchers, and local governments to protect land and air quality through practical measures.

• Oppose policies that place ideological environmentalism above the needs of Colorado’s communities and economy.

• Implement community-driven conservation projects that balance preservation with economic opportunity.

Why This Matters

Colorado’s land and water aren’t just resources—they’re the backbone of our state’s prosperity and identity. Yet, they are increasingly threatened by:

• Overreach from the federal government, which seeks to control how our land and water are used.

• Out-of-state exploitation, which drains our resources for profit without regard for local communities.

• Mismanagement and neglect, which have led to more frequent wildfires and worsening drought conditions.

CFA believes that conservatives are the true stewards of the environment. We understand the need to protect Colorado’s lands and water, not through heavy-handed regulation, but through practical solutions rooted in local control, innovation, and respect for the people who rely on these resources.

What We’re Fighting For

Colorado First Action is committed to bold, effective action:

• Electing leaders who will defend Colorado’s rights to its water and land.

• Blocking federal overreach and returning control to local communities and the people of Colorado.

• Promoting legislation that prioritizes wildfire prevention, responsible grazing, and efficient water use.

• Investing in infrastructure that ensures Colorado’s water is used responsibly and remains available for future generations.
