At Least She’s Not Pretending to be Your Lieutenant Governor

It’s time again to venture down the rabbit hole in one of our longest running features here at Colorado Pols — something we like to call At Least They’re Not Your Legislator. Today we take you to Georgia, where The Atlanta Journal-Constitution explains the weirdness: A former staffer of the lieutenant governor was arrested Monday […]

At Least She’s Not Your Lieutenant Governor

As the Idaho Statesman reports, relations between the governor and lieutenant governor in the Gem State–both allegedly rock-ribbed conservative Republicans in charge of one of America’s reddest state governments–have turned decidedly frosty in recent weeks as the “establishment” and insurgent wings of the Republican Party come into conflict over measures to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. […]

Walker Stapleton’s Short List for Lieutenant Governor

Earlier today we recapped the odd early-July saga of Republican gubernatorial nominee Walker Stapleton maybe (possibly) having chosen a Lieutenant Governor (LG) running mate but thus far remaining mum on the selection. We’ve heard that CU Regent Heidi Ganahl turned down Stapleton’s offer to be his running mate, which prompted a shift in attention toward someone like Mesa […]

These People Won’t Be the Next Lieutenant Governor of Colorado

Last week’s surprise news that Colorado Lieutenant Governor Joe Garcia will soon resign from office has led to some natural speculation about Garcia’s potential replacement. Governor John Hickenlooper will reportedly name a replacement LG sometime within the next few weeks, and that person will need to be confirmed by a highly-partisan Colorado legislature. Aside from being the […]

Obama to Visit Denver this Week

If you’re itching to catch a glimpse of President Barack Obama — and missed him when he visited Boulder last month –you’ve got about an hour to purchase some exorbitantly priced tickets.

State Representative Crisanta Duran, one of Obama’s most loyal lieutenants in the state, is also the point person for access to the president this week.

From Duran:

LAST CHANCE to buy tickets to join President Obama for a reception with supporters like you

Tickets are going quickly! Click here and RSVP NOW! You must make your reservation by 7:00pm!  

What: Obama Victory Fund 2012 – Reception with President Obama

Where:

The Hyatt Regency

650 15th Street

Denver, CO

When: Wednesday, May 23, 2012

Doors open at 12:30 PM, please arrive no later than 2:00 PM

By “supporters like you,” of course, Rep. Duran means “supporters willing to pay between $250.00 and $40,000.”

If you don’t happen to have that kind of money laying around, don’t worry. That the president of the United States has visited Colorado twice in as many months indicates just how much importance the Obama campaign is assigning to Colorado. If you don’t see him Wednesday, we’re sure there’ll be several other opportunities between now and November.  

At Least He’s Not Your Lieutenant Governor

Despite what some folks say in this story from The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, we have a really hard time believing that Missouri Republican Lt. Governor Peter Kinder is still going to end up getting elected to the top job of Governor when all is said and done: Hoping to curb what has become a growing […]

40 Days Until Sestak-Specter and Halter-Lincoln

{First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate Guru.}

40 days from today – on May 18 – we will see two HUGE primaries for U.S. Senate.  Even though these races aren’t in Colorado, they impact Democrats across the country and, well, the entire country as a whole.

In Pennsylvania, Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak will try to upset Republican-for-decades Arlen Specter.

In Arkansas, Democratic Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter will try to upset corporate lackey Blanche Lincoln.

These two races are tremendously important to defining who and what the Democratic Party is and what we will be fighting for.

If you can volunteer for these candidates (or encourage friends and family in Pennsylvania and Arkansas to do so), that would be amazing.

Of course, if you can help with a contribution to either or both via the Expand the Map! ActBlue page as soon as possible, it will make a big impact.

Polling shows that both Specter and Lincoln are at risk of – if not likely to – hand these Senate seats over to far-right-wing Republicans. (And, even if these two retain the seats, that’s not much better on many key issues.)

Congressman Sestak and Lieutenant Governor Halter winning these primaries are critical to keeping these seats in truly Democratic hands. Your support can help make that happen!  Please hop over to the Expand the Map! ActBlue page right away to make a contribution – an investment in the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party to pull out an old expression – and show your support.

Thanks SO much for any support you can provide. 40 Days.

South Jeffco Resident Taking Run at Congress

From The Columbine Courier:

Republican Tom Tancredo represented South Jeffco in Congress for 10 years after first winning the seat in 1998. His successor, Aurora Republican Mike Coffman, has been in office for less than three months – and the potential challengers already are lining up.

One is John Flerlage, a South Jeffco Democrat who says he’s the only one who can go toe to toe against Coffman and win.

“I cede nothing on security or economics as a Democrat,” Flerlage said during an interview at a South Jeffco Starbucks on March 4.

If anyone can battle Coffman on national security issues, an ex-Marine with years of military experience, it might be Flerlage.

He, too, is an ex-Marine. Flerlage served 22 years in the Marine Corps (11 on active duty and 11 in the Reserves) before he retired as a lieutenant colonel in 2000. During his Marine years, he flew the F/A-18 Hornet and A-4 Skyhawk, and was eventually placed in leadership positions to train young pilots in world affairs, strategic commitments and other tactical aircraft at the Marine aviation advanced tactics school. In the 1990s, he flew support missions in support of NATO operations in Bosnia.

After he retired from the Marine Reserves in 2000, Flerlage went to work at Delta Airlines, where he is now a captain and flies long-haul international flights.

Flerlage has at least one hurdle to clear before he can even match toes with Coffman – Democrat David Canter has also announced plans to run in CD-6.

You Too Can Be a Lieutenant Governor

We forgot to post this when we first got it last week, so here goes: Paul Fiorino, the dancing gubernatorial candidate, is looking for a good Lieutenant Governor candidate. It could be you! Here’s the press release: Independent, unaffiliated, nonpartisan candidate Paul Noel Fiorino for Colorado?Governor 2006, is searching?for the best?running mate?to serve as his […]

Four Candidates Hope to Break the “Republican Caucus Curse” in 2024

UPDATE: We updated this story to include former State Rep. Amy Stephens and former State Sen. Randy Baumgardner, both of whom failed to win the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in 2014. We also added former State Rep. Lang Sias, who was the GOP’s Lieutenant Governor nominee in 2018. —– Scott Tipton and Cory Gardner […]
