*Editorial endorsements are a longstanding function of journalism. Yet as media has consolidated and nonprofit restrictions have reshaped the industry, fewer newsrooms continue the practice.* *Yellow Scene believes election endorsements remain an important public service. Our editorial board debates the issues, examines policy and records in depth, and does not lightly arrive at endorsement decisions, particularly in closely contested races. This guide focuses on races within Yellow Scene’s Boulder County and North Metro coverage region rather than attempting to cover every contest statewide.

After one of Colorado’s driest winters on record, Boulder County farmers spent months preparing for what many feared would be a devastating growing season. Recent rains have brought some relief, but much of the region remains in severe drought, and many local growers say the moisture came too late to fundamentally change their plans for the summer. Across Boulder County, farms are shrinking CSA programs, cutting staff, reducing acreage and shifting toward crops that require less water. Farmers say shoppers will still find local produce at markets this summer, but less of it — and with fewer of

Boulder Street is staying closed permanently after Colorado Springs City Council reconsidered this issue late last month. Initially approved in early March , the ordinance hit road blocks when it failed in a tie. It was later tabled for further discussion in May. Part of the delay came from concerns over funding to complete renovations. District 11 still hasn’t decided if it will put a bond issue on the November ballot. Deputy superintendent Brendan Comfort said “regardless of the bond, we will have the funding to complete the (track and) field.” Student safety was also a major point of discus
