League of Women Voters of Colorado Challenges One-Party Elections Law in Federal Court
DENVER - Today, the League of Women Voters of Colorado and two individual voters filed a federal lawsuit (https://www.lwv.org/sites/default/files/2026-05/5.15.26%20D.%20Colo.%2026-cv-02103%20dckt%20000001_000%20filed%202026-05-15.pdf) against HB 25-1315, a state law passed in May 2025 that provides for one-party elections to fill state legislative vacancies in certain circumstances.The plaintiffs in this matter are represented by McDermott Will & Schulte and the Law Office of Bryan L. Sells, LLC.
"Colorado state legislators vote on laws affecting every Coloradan, so a law disenfranchising voters based on their party alone silences them," said Marcia Johnson, chief of activation and justice for the League of Women Voters. "We are proud to stand up for voters whenever we see unfairness in the political process, especially when it takes away the voice of voters."
"Every eligible voter deserves a say in who represents them in the state legislature -- no matter their political party," said Beth Hendrix, executive director for the League of Women Voters of Colorado. "The League seeks to restore integrity to vacancy elections and is proud to stand for the principle that all voters decide their representatives, not the other way around."
To fill vacant state legislative seats, Colorado uses vacancy committees, which are composed largely of one party's officials and insiders. Many state legislators in Colorado often resign before their terms are over, requiring appointment by a vacancy committee. In fact, by April 2025, nearly a quarter of Colorado's legislators had been appointed by these small party-controlled committees.
In May 2025, the Colorado Legislature passed, and the Governor signed, HB 25-1315, creating a new process for filling state legislative vacancies. Under this law, in certain circumstances, a vacancy committee selects a replacement legislator to serve until the next regular election. In that election, voting is limited to voters affiliated with the same political party as the previous officeholder, as well as unaffiliated voters. For example, if the prior legislator was a Democrat, only registered Democrats and unaffiliated voters may participate. However, the individual elected through this process will go on to vote on laws that affect all Coloradans.
"The right to vote for your state representative doesn't depend on which box you checked when you registered," said Bryan Sells, co-counsel for the plaintiffs. "HB 25-1315 turns a general election into a closed primary and strips tens of thousands of Coloradans of their voice in choosing who governs them. The Supreme Court settled this more than fifty years ago in Kramer v. Union Free School District, and Colorado's legislature can't unsettle it now."
"Entrenching one political party, regardless of which political party, is inimical to the Constitution," said Michael Dockterman, partner for McDermott Will & Schulte. "We are proud to represent the League of Women Voters in their effort to maintain free and fair elections open to all of the voters in the district."

Data center committee should listen to impacted communities, workers, and experts
Ohio lawmakers have announced a new joint committee focused on data centers and their impact on Ohio. The joint committee is unrelated to a proposed Data Center Study Commission that would be established by H.B. 646, which recently passed the Ohio House with unanimous support. Policy Matters Ohio researcher Molly Bryden issued the following statement:
"Ohioans have beenraising concerns about the impacts of planned data center projects, including on water, energy affordability, and public health. The lack of transparency and accountability involved in local data center development decisions has emerged as a throughline, while other stakeholders note the potential positive impacts of job growth.
"Insofar as the joint committee will allow Ohioans to have an opportunity to inform data center policy, it is a positive step.
"The joint committee has the potential to quickly advance recommendations and should use its time before summer recess to set Ohio up for more comprehensive tax and regulatory policy. Among other priorities, it should recommend eliminating the costly sales-tax break the state gives to data center companies.
"Ohio is currently forgoing hundreds of millions in public revenue to subsidize a highly profitable industry. At a time when families are facing higher utility bills, Ohioans need legislators to stand up to powerful corporations to ensure they contribute their fair share rather than relying on taxpayer support.
"The committee should recommend requiring greater transparency from data centers about their emissions, and their energy and water use. They should also recommend limits -- such as those in H.B. 695 -- on non-disclosure agreements for economic development incentives between local officials and developers. Finally, the committee should recommend repealing the language in H.B. 184 that criminalized public disclosure of information about local economic development assistance. Doing so would enable residents to more meaningfully participate in local decision-making.
"Ohioans have been calling for legislators to act on data centers. It remains to be seen whether this new committee -- or the proposed Data Center Study Commission -- will have any meaningful impact. Legislators can and should craft industrial policy that is good for working people, impacted communities, and long-term energy and environmental sustainability."

Caught in the Act: Philip Morris Rolling out Global Marlboro Ad Campaign while Claiming Cigarettes Belong in Museums
New reporting from The Guardian today exposes a massive global ad campaign for Marlboro cigarettes launching in at least 20 countries around the world and squarely targeted at young people. The ad campaign makes the hypocrisy of Philip Morris International impossible to ignore: While the cigarette maker has repeatedly claimedthat "cigarettes belong in museums" it is simultaneously putting all its might into a new marketing campaign for the company's bestselling Marlboro cigarettes.
From Indonesia to Germany, the "I am Marlboro" campaign features ads on TV, billboards and in shops. The campaign centers on themes of identity, belonging and self-expression. It tells young people things like "I know who I am...I am Marlboro" and "Make your own legacy. I am Marlboro."
As the Guardian notes, the "I am Marlboro" messaging echoes elements of Philip Morris's infamous "Be Marlboro" ad campaign which faced regulatory action in multiple countries over concerns it appealed to teens.
This egregious ad campaign makes crystal clear that Philip Morris remains, first and foremost, a cigarette company doing everything it can to bolster cigarette sales - often in countries already facing a devastating burden from smoking-related disease.
In Indonesia, where massive "I am Marlboro" billboards are scattered throughout cities and the ads air on television, nearly two-thirds of men smoke cigarettes. This is no accident. It is because tobacco companies like Philip Morris have aggressively advertised cigarettes in Indonesia and around the world for decades and have lobbied for weaker tobacco control protections that allow them to do so.
The emergence of this ad campaign should serve as a warning to governments, policymakers and the public that tobacco companies will say whatever it takes to gain favor, while continuing to market and sell the world's deadliest consumer product.

CAIR-LA Welcomes Court Ruling Barring Deceptive Kars4Kids Ads for Failing to Disclose Ties to Israel
The Greater Los Angeles Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) today welcomed a recent ruling by a court judge barring Kars4Kids from airing advertisements in California unless the organization discloses that donations are used in part to fund young adults' trips to Israel and purchase property there
Following the lawsuit filed against the organization in 2021,the court ruled earlier this month that Kars4Kids violated California's false advertising and unfair competition laws because they failed to disclose "that funds benefit adults and families--and that this support is contingent upon a specific religious affiliation."
Kars4Kids reportedly sends $45 million annually to Oorah, a Jewish nonprofit that organizes gap year trips to Israel for 17- and 18-year-olds. The nonprofit also spent $16.5 million of the funds it received from Kars4Kids to purchase a building in Israel.
The court ruled that Kars4Kids must pull all noncompliant advertisements in California within 30 days, and all future ads must disclose its affiliation and geographic ties. They also may no longer include images of young children in their advertisements since several of Oorah's programs support young adults.
In its ruling, the court wrote:
"Money cannot 'un-donate' a car or restore the donor's belief that they were helping a local, needy child. When a charity generates millions annually through a 'jingle' that conceals its primary religious and geographic focus, it creates an unfair playing field for local California charities that are honest about their missions."
In a statement, CAIR-LA Executive Director Hussam Ayloush said:
"Nonprofit organizations have the moral and legal responsibility to their donors to operate transparently, and yet, Kars4Kids took advantage of people's goodwill through misleading advertisements to fund trips for young adults to Israel, an apartheid state currently committing genocide, and to buy property on illegally occupied land. We commend the court for holding this organization accountable for masking deception behind a catchy jingle."
CAIR-LA is Southern California's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, protect civil rights, promote justice and empower American Muslims.

RICHMOND, VA, May 15, 2026 -- Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed a life-saving slate of gun violence prevention bills into law, including legislation to ban ghost guns, to providea pathway for survivors and victims of gun violence to hold the gun industry accountable for harm, and to ban the future sale of assault weapons. Virginia also becomes the sixth state to pass a "school notification" law, requiring schools to send information home to educate parents and guardians on the risks of "family fire" and child access to unsecured firearms. Brady has spent decades advocating for these measures.
Brady President Kris Brown, a native Virginian and Virginia Tech alum, said:
This is a historic day for Virginians. I grew up here and raised my daughters here, and in all my years of leading Brady, I have never been more hopeful than I am today. In a Commonwealth where someone is killed with a firearm every seven hours, these monumental laws represent countless families spared from unspeakable heartbreak. Under Gov. Abigail Spanberger's leadership, Virginia is fighting on behalf of families and survivors of gun violence, ensuring that the Commonwealth can be a place where we can all live free from fear of being shot. These transformative gun laws have been championed by Brady, our grassroots advocates, and our state partners for years, and we are proud to help usher in a new day in Virginia.
Virginians voted last November to put an end to years of deadly vetoes on gun safety legislation. The Commonwealth deserves elected officials who side with our children and families, not gun lobby profits.
The package of life-saving slate of new gun violence prevention laws includes:
* School Notification (SB 109 / HB 201); sponsored by Sen. Pekarsky, Del. Cohen
* Industry Accountability/Civil Liability Standards (SB 27 / HB 21); sponsored by Sens. Ebbin & Carroll-Foy, Del. Helmer
