Yellow Scene Editorial Board

Who they are
Yellow Scene is an independent magazine covering Boulder County and the north metro area. Its Oct. 9, 2026 Election Guide endorses two mayoral candidates (it says ranked-choice voting is why), five City Council candidates, and YES on 2J, 2K, 2L and 2M. The guide's other designations ('Qualified', 'Too Extreme') are not recorded as endorsements or opposition.
In their words: Our endorsements are not instructions on how to vote. They are our informed assessment after doing the work.

How they decide
The publisher's note says writers interview candidates live, the editorial team recommends whom to endorse, and the Editorial Board reviews those recommendations and seeks consensus. source

What the labels on each endorsement mean
- Endorser's own statement
- The organization or person announced it themselves (their site, their press release, or a news story reprinting that release).
- “X campaign lists Y”
- Only the candidate's (or ballot campaign's) own website says so. We didn't find the endorser saying it. It may be true, but it is the campaign's claim.
- City filing
- A committee's registration with the city clerk names the candidate or measure it supports.
- News listing
- A news outlet lists the endorsement, but we did not find the endorser's own statement.
Titles (e.g. “U.S. Representative”) are as printed on the cited page and describe the person, not an endorsement by their office. A blank title means the source did not give one.
