DENVER — A Colorado bill is aiming to level the playing for for people with disabilities. The bill ensures that the caucus process, which is accessible for candidates with disabilities, remains an option in Colorado."This bill is based off personal experience, when I was thinking about being a first-time candidate," said Ortiz."Petitioning was not the route that was going to work for me, so I went through the caucus route.
"Your issues with caucuses don't justify discriminating against and removing the only means for candidates with a disability to get on the ballot," said Ortiz. "As soon as able-bodied people were threatened, we were able to teach, govern and work virtually," he said.
