Is Colorado government broken?

In Episode 86 of Through the Gates, we sit down with gubernatorial candidate Greg Lopez to discuss the growing concerns over ballot initiatives, special interest influence, wildlife policy, and the future of Colorado’s constitutional republic.

From Proposition 114 and wolf reintroduction to the increasing power of direct democracy, this conversation dives deep into how ballot measures are shaping policy — sometimes without accountability — and what that means for hunters, ranchers, landowners, and everyday Colorado citizens.

Greg Lopez shares his perspective on:

The role of government vs. the will of the people

Special interests and outside money in Colorado politics

Wildlife management and the unintended consequences of ballot box biology

The future of Colorado Parks and Wildlife

Restoring accountability and constitutional governance

If you care about Colorado politics, wildlife management, constitutional government, or the impact of ballot initiatives on rural communities, this episode is a must-watch.
