Bill Artist has been highly selective is
agreeing to personally manage campaigns.
Mr. Artist managed the following campaigns:
Respect Colorado’s Constitution
In 2006, Artist & Associates led the
opposition campaign to Amendment 42,
Colorado’s minimum wage increase, a proposal
that initially was polling at 80% in favor.
Artist & Associates’ aggressive and creative
campaign narrowed the final margin to
53% - 47%, the closest of any minimum wage
increase in the nation in
2006.
Citizens For A New Stadium (CFANS)
In 1998, Artist & Associates directed the
campaign which secured voter approval of
public financing component for Invesco Field
at Mile High.
As Campaign Director, Mr. Artist managed a
mass media, direct mail, and grassroots
campaign that persuaded voters to approve
the stadium plan by a 57% - 43% margin.
Coalition to Save Denver Jobs
Artist & Associates led the effort that
successfully defeated a ballot initiative
that would have increased the minimum wage
in the City and County of Denver.
Citizens for Better Government.
Although it was clear that Coloradoans
wanted and needed the right to vote on tax
increases, the initial effort for a
TABOR-like constitutional amendment was
poorly conceived. Much like Amendment 41,
it would have had a variety of undesirable
unintended consequences. Artist &
Associates lead the campaign that turned an
initial 67% favorable response to the
proposal into a 60% no vote.
Artist & Associates has worked with Eric
Morgan to provide the day-to-day management
of our recent campaign efforts. Eric has
played key roles in the some of the most
high profile ballot initiatives in Colorado
over the last eight years:
Respect Colorado’s Constitution
Mr.
Morgan
served as day-to-day Campaign Manager
for the opposition to Amendment 42, which
nearly became the only successful effort to
defeat a minimum wage increase in any
state.
Fastracks Yes!
In 2004, Mr. Morgan was a key member of the team
which won the FasTracks Yes!
Campaign, including managing the
all-volunteer petition gathering effort
which put the measure on the ballot.
Coloradans for Responsible Reform
In 2000, Mr. Morgan served as Organizational
Director for the campaign which achieved the
overwhelming defeat of Amendment 24, Citizen
Management of Growth.
Quality Education Drive, Inc.
(QED)
Mr. Morgan
was the day-to-day campaign manager for
QED in 1999. Under his leadership,
QED won the first school mill levy
override election victory in Jefferson
County for sixteen years.
Citizens For A New Stadium (CFANS)
In 1998, Mr. Morgan served as Assistant Campaign
Manager for CFANS, which won approval of the
new stadium for the Denver Broncos.
