Measure 1A · November 3, 2026

Vote Yes on 1A

The campaign to protect Larimer County's water, forests, and roads.

Why This Matters

Larimer County is stretched thin.


Wildfire risk, growth, and aging infrastructure are outrunning the county's revenue. In 2026 alone, Larimer absorbed roughly $24 million in rising costs and budget cuts — even as federal and state funding pulls back. Larimer County has asked voters for this kind of funding before and come up short. Measure 1A is a dedicated, accountable way to close that gap before it costs us more.

Why It Matters To You

This is about the place we all live.

Our Water
Protecting the watershed that supplies drinking water across Larimer County, from Fort Collins to Loveland and beyond.
Our Safety
Faster wildfire prevention and emergency response, countywide, backed by the people who live it — firefighters, water specialists, and emergency personnel.
Our Future
Every dollar invested in prevention today saves far more in recovery costs later — an investment that pays for itself.

This is about protecting the place we love — the water we drink, the forests around us, and the roads we drive every day.
