Restore The Balance-
La Plata County Branch

Restore the Balance – La Plata (RTB La Plata County) is a branch of a 501(C)(4) nonprofit organization.

We are Democrats, Republicans, and Independents working together for the purpose of building an alternative to political violence and extremism.

RTB members have endorsed seven fundamental principles of political action and discourse, and RTB’s main activity is the evaluation of candidates for public office.  

November 2024 La Plata County Ballot Candidate Questionnaires

 

This election cycle the La Plata County Branch is reporting on races for State Senate SD6, State House of Representatives HD59, County Commissioner and County Treasurer.

The La Plata Branch Steering Committee, composed of 11 community leaders, convened a five-member subcommittee including experienced voter education and participation advocates. This team developed a questionnaire to measure the candidates’ positions on four critical election topics. 

Based on these eight candidates’ responses, our team has summarized each candidate’s alignment with those four key topics and the results have been reviewed by the La Plata Steering Committee.
