Patagonia is giving its employees paid time off on Election Day -- a custom since 2016.

Kristy Lewis, founder of Quinn, a Boulder-based natural foods company, described her team as “fully committed to making sure our employees have the flexibility and time off” to vote.

Other Front Range businesses involved include outdoor recreation products company The North Face, fly fishing shop Rocky Mountain Anglers, beverage company Rowdy Mermaid Kombucha, law firm Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell LLP, Cañon City’s Royal Gorge Anglers and Next PR public relations firm in Colorado Springs.

“We try to make it cultural, encouraging them to bring their friends, neighbors, and fellow ski bums to the polls,” said Michael Miracle, director of community engagement. “Pushing for the fairest and most functional democracy, which means supporting the highest participation possible among voters, is a no-brainer for us.”

Good go vote red!

Clearly the lackeys at the DenverCompost want comp ski tickets
