Women Decide: The Colorado Governor's Forum

Rocky Mountain PBS (RMPBS), The Women’s Foundation of Colorado (WFCO) and the Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce (CWCC) will produce and present Women Decide: The Colorado Governor’s Forum — a live, virtual forum bringing together confirmed primary candidates for Governor of Colorado on Sunday, June 7, 2026 at 7 p.m. MT.  

The forum will be free and open to all Coloradans, streaming live on Zoom Webinar and on Rocky Mountain PBS’s YouTube channel. 

Women Decide: The Colorado Governor’s Forum is designed to address the policy priorities that affect women, families and communities across Colorado. The Forum will address the full range of policy questions that shape the lives of Colorado women — from economic opportunity, small business and workforce to healthcare, housing, education and caregiving — through a lens that reflects the breadth and diversity of women’s experiences across the state. Equally, the Forum is designed for all Colorado voters who care about these issues or want to be better informed on them. 

Confirmed Candidates

In alignment with the structure of a nonpartisan candidate forum, viable candidates eligible for the primary ballot from the major parties were invited.

The following candidates for Governor of Colorado have confirmed their participation: Michael Bennet, Scott Bottoms, Barbara Kirkmeyer and Phil Weiser. Victor Marx was invited and declined to participate.

Candidates will be asked identical questions by Gabriela Resto-Montero, journalism director of Rocky Mountain PBS, and given equal time to respond. The Forum is nonpartisan and does not constitute an endorsement of any candidate or political party by any partner organization. 

Audience questions may be submitted ahead of the forum using this form.
