The Metro Mayors Caucus selects issues to focus on each year at the annual retreat. Many issues remain on the priority list year after year, Among the top priorities for the Caucus for the last several years have been Water, Housing, Transportation and FasTracks, Economic Development, and Energy Efficiency.

Many of these issues have pages on this website that you can link to from the menu at the left.

Summer Food: the Metro Mayors Caucus and Hunger Free Colorado have partnered to help raise awareness of the Summer Food Service Program which provides free meals to hungry children age 18 and under in communities nationwide. Read more about how mayors can help, find a site in your city or learn about the positive financial impacts of addressing childhood hunger in your community. To find out more information or to locate a site nearest you, visit www.summerfoodcolorado.org, call 855-855-4626, or text “FOOD” to (720)- HFC-EAT5.

Legislative Activities & Issues: Additionally, since 2011 the Metro Mayors Caucus and Metro Area County Commissioners have worked to collaboratively identify Joint Legislative Principals and Priorities for the following year which are shared with our metro area Senators and Representatives of the Colorado General Assembly. The 2011 and 2012 Priorities and a summary of related bills and how they fared are available here on the website. Mayors are in the process of determining 2013 priorities.
