Outside groups spent over $2.5 million in Colorado’s 2025 school board races, with major influence from national PACs.

In Colorado’s 2025 school board elections, over $2.5 million has been spent across major districts, driven by outside groups. In Aurora, incumbent Anne Keke leads fundraising with $25,435, backed by teacher and labor unions. Other candidates raised between $100 and $19,433, with contributions from local and state organizations. Nationally, super PACs like Better Leaders, Stronger Schools and Students Deserve Better are heavily influencing races, reflecting a broader trend of outside money shaping education policy. Election Day is November 4, with in-person voting and ballot tracking available, though mail-in ballots must be returned by October 31.
