This page contains candidate information about the candidates for State Senate District 8.

Highlights from this race:

• There is no "Pro-Animal Pick" in this race.
• Al White's voting scores as a state representative have ranged from 29% to 100%. Although he has been no friend to animals or CHVL, because of his occasional good scores we have chosen not to give him a "Paws Down" rating at this time. However, we do want to inform you that Representative White has stated that he would like to remove a voter-enacted ban on recreational trapping.
  • The Colorado Statesman reported earlier this year that Representative White stated that if Colorado has a constitutional convention, he would like to remove several voter-initiated amendments from the constitution; he specifically mentioned Amendment 14 of 1996, which prohibits recreational trapping. (Representative White introduced legislation to call for a consitutional convention, but the legislation did not pass.)

The table below lists all candidates in this race, along with questionnaire scores for candidates who answered our issue questionnaire and notations identifying candidates who did not respond. Candidates are listed in alphabetical order by party affiliation.
