Sources show the three Protect Kids Colorado initiatives (Propositions 133, 134, 135) were submitted with signature counts that sum to over 500,000, and all three qualified for the November 2026 ballot. The Denver Catholic reports more than 503,000 combined, and the Secretary of State figures reported by Colorado Politics add up to about the same.

What was said

… Oh yeah, and you know what is so awesome, Steve and Ben, is that the entire Catholic conference that represents the bishops is 100% behind Protect Kids Colorado. They have been actively involved, all of their parishes across the state, in helping us collect signatures to ensure that we got over 500,000 signatures across our three initiatives to protect children onto the November ballot, never been done before in the history of the nation, with an all volunteer group of over 3,300 Coloradans circulating these petitions. …

What we found

Supports. Colorado Politics, citing Secretary of State data, reports 168,579 signatures for Proposition 134 and 164,922 for Proposition 135, both certified as sufficient.[2]

Supports. The Denver Post reports nearly 170,000 signatures for Initiative 108 (Proposition 133), which the Secretary of State announced had qualified for the November ballot.[3]

Supports. The Denver Catholic reports more than 503,000 signatures collected across the three propositions, which matches the sum of the individual Secretary of State counts (about 503,500).[2][3][4]

Supports. The official Colorado Secretary of State list shows Protect Kids Colorado as the issue committee behind the 2026 November ballot measures.[1]

Context. The Colorado Times Recorder reports that filings show a paid canvassing company collected signatures and that the group has not disclosed the payments, which the group's volunteer-only claim does not address. This bears on the sourcing of the signatures, not on the count.[5]

Context. A Kim Monson show page repeats the 500,000 figure in a headline, but that coverage echoes the claim and adds no independent record.[6]
