Colorado Ethics Watch is a state-based project of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization that targets government officials who sacrifice the common good to special interests.

Ethics Watch fights against corruption in state and local government through aggressive research and litigation. Ethics Watch drafts and files ethics complaints, sues agencies that fail to comply with open records requests and files campaign finance complaints against organizations that violate state law. In tandem with legal actions, Ethics Watch executes a comprehensive communications strategy to educate the public on its activities and mobilize support for reform.

In this way, Ethics Watch will push for a cleaner Colorado government.
