Most of us have received or soon will receive our ballots for the general election. While the mail in ballot experience is not what many would consider optimal, we face the leap of faith voting experience we survived in 2020. We do know there have been teams of dedicated people working to make this election more representative of what we believe it should be. That said your vote is as important as it has ever been and we encourage all to get their completed ballot in. It is worth noting there is a statewide race of importance, Secretary of State, where CAPR has rated three candidates including the write in candidate Brad Klippert, running against Steve Hobbs, and Julie Anderson. They have been rated respectively according to their records and actions as related to property rights, with Brad Klippert receiving the highest rating among the three.

This posting has been updated on July 27th to reflect CAPR's reconsideration of the rating for Chad Magendanz, which has been upgraded and restored to outstanding. This consideration resulted from a review of Chad Magendanz and his history of defending property rights, and his strength on CAPR Property Rights Issues. In addition, Chad's responsiveness to CAPR concerns regarding other foundational bill of rights issues has led us to rate him Outstanding.
You should have gotten your ballot in the mail today! Please be sure to vote in the Primary Election, the two candidates with the most votes will be listed on the General Election come November!

CAPR Opposes the Board of Health's new rule language in the Keeping of Animals Rule.
The hearing was held on Wednesday, June 8, at 1:30, 12 people registered to comment and were each limited to 2 minutes of comment. Those who could not wrap up their comments in that time frame were simply cut off and silenced mid sentence. The board seemed almost automatonic in both the presentation of the rule and the response to comments, and in the end were unmoved by for the most part, negative response to the rule by commentors.
The board disregarded suggested improvement and moved to procede through the rule making process to update the rule.
