Each Friday we'll pose conversation-starting questions online at Coloradoan.com/opinion and moderate online discussion through the following Wednesday, recapping the best discussion points online the following Friday and in Sunday's printed edition.

This week's Coloradoan Conversation Starter:

With ballots for Colorado's 2022 general election set to be mailed in less than two months, the Coloradoan newsroom is organizing our pre-election coverage and could use your help. With Denver-area and statewide political media focusing on the top-ballot horse races for Congress and the state's top elected offices, we'll focus the bulk of our efforts on the races most closely tied to Larimer County at the state legislative, county and municipal levels.

Over the coming months, we'll meet with candidates and issue committees to dive into their backgrounds, qualifications and priorities in order to help you make the most informed decision possible by Nov. 8. As we ask candidates our questions, we also want to help get answers to yours. So, if you have a question for a specific candidate or issue committee, share it with us online in the comments section, or at opinion@coloradoan.com, and we'll add it to our list for our pre-election interviews.
