Poll details GOVERNMENT GOES GREEN voting trends Northglenn unveils new energy-efficient city building P2 for Latinos Residents of 8th Congressional District show high support for asylum seekers BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Adams County-centric 8th Congressional District is an outlier when it comes to Latino registered voters. At least 75% of the district’s Latino voters support some sort of asylum for noncitizens coming into the country, the highest among those who responded to a statewide survey. Voter enthusiasm for the upcoming 2024 election is also highest among those surveyed, with 72% indicating they were 100% sure they will vote in November, according to the survey. Another 38% of registered Latinos in the 8th Congressional indicated they have not been contacted by an elected official, which was the lowest percentage of Latinos who were surveyed. The district’s Latino voters are probably more engaged in state and local politics because they have been shaped by the rise of U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo, who was the first Latina elected to the Congress in 2022, according to officials with the 2024 Colorado Latino Policy Agenda. SEE VOTING, P8
