While the NFB of Colorado, a 501(c)(3) organization cannot contribute to political campaigns, we as active and concerned blind citizens most certainly can.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>David Ortiz has been and continues to be a staunch supporter of the blind and people with other disabilities. He proudly calls himself a member of the disability community. During the 2021 session of the Colorado General Assembly, Representative Ortiz sponsored HB21-1110, a bill (later signed into law) which requires state and local government websites to be accessible and compliant with the most current web content accessibility guidelines.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In recent months, Representative Ortiz helped to kick off the NFB of Colorado’s Six Dot Dash fundraising event in September.
