The Denver Post: Thirty-one elected officials in Colorado have asked to remove their personal contact information from a state campaign finance database in the wake of Saturday’s shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers.

The state’s TRACER website was taken offline Saturday after the attack, said Jack Todd, a spokesman for the Secretary of State’s Office, which oversees the website. The decision was jointly made between the office and legislative leadership, Todd said, so that state lawmakers and other elected officials could file new requests to strike their addresses and phone numbers from the publicly accessible database.

Thus far, at least 31 elected officials have filed the requests.

“In light of the weekend’s tragic events in Minnesota and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of Colorado’s elected leaders, the Department of State made a determination to take the public-facing campaign finance reporting website down briefly after consulting with legislative leadership,” Todd said.
