If you have any clever puns to play off of the name “Ryan Call,” now would be the time to use them. Republicans will convene on Saturday to select their Party leadership for the next two years, and from everything we hear, State Party Chair Ryan Call will almost certainly lose his re-election bid to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A former talk-radio yapper, Derrick Wilburn, is running for Vice Chair of the Colorado Republican Party. Wilburn once co-hosted a CO Springs radio show called, “Black, White, and Right,” which aired on KZNT 1460-AM. Wilburn, who’s African-American, represented the “black” part, while former congressional candidate Robert Blaha wore the “white” mantel. And […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Colorado Statesman, which reports the nitty gritty of politics that's loved by junkies and is hard to find these days outside of partisan blogs and radio shows, has appointed a former Republican politician as publisher: Jared Wright, former state representative from Mesa County. In a touching good-bye column Friday that conjured a fading […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Conservative talk radio is the front line in the battle over who will be the next chair of the Colorado Republican Party. (That is, for the tea-party wing of the party. The front line for the moneyed side of the party might be in buildings on 17th street or something.) In any case, […]
(Boldly marching backward – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former KLZ 560-AM radio host Jim Pfaff has been elected Chair of the Douglas County Republican Party.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado's newbie congressional Representative, Ken Buck, can't decide who's the better man to lead Colorado's Republican Party: current Colorado GOP Chair, Ryan Call, or challenger Steve House, a businessman and former gubernatorial candidate.

WEDNESDAY UPDATE: Adams County GOP vice chairman John Sampson responds (via his Facebook page), after reader Elliot Fladen alerts him to the existence of this blog post: Elliot, went to the link, read the post.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Pueblo County's Republican Chair, Becky Mizel, isn't known for pulling her punches, but she hit particularly hard at her fellow Republicans in a recent interview on KNUS' Peter Boyles Show. The fight roiling the state GOP is reaching a frenzy leading up to the March 14 vote on whether to retain Republican State […]
When the Republican members of the Senate Education Committee were first announced back in November, it didn't take a crystal ball to predict the nuttiness that was sure to ensue once the legislature convened in January. After all, we're talking about a single room with chairs reserved for the likes of Senators Tim Neville, Laura […]
My name is Wesley Song and I support David Sabados’ run for Party chair. I put my name here to be sure that there can be no question as to who I am and the reasons I support Dave. I have been a Democrat since I attended the University of Northern Colorado. I registered as […]
POLS NOTE: What follows may well be the most incredibly ridiculous story we've heard in 2015. So sit back, relax, and try not to get lost in this bizarre tale… —– As readers of Colorado Pols should know by now, Colorado Republicans are in the midst of a heated battle over who should become their […]
Colorado Republican Party Chair Ryan Call is facing a tough re-election fight against former Adams County GOP Chair (and candidate for governor) Steve House.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) This should be news here on Colorado Pols… From the Colorado Statesman: Campaign consultant David Sabados announced late this week that he is challenging Colorado Democratic Party chairman Rick Palacio, who is seeking a third term as head of the state party at the Democrats’ reorganization meeting next month.

(Nothing up her sleeve! Not sneaky enough – Promoted by Colorado Pols) WEDNESDAY POLS UPDATE: The Denver Post's editorial board weighs in: Chostner's letter says the "evidence would support filing a misdemeanor election offense," but he declined to do so. Why? Undermining election security is a serious matter, and DAs need to impress that upon everyone. […]
State Republican Chair Ryan Call looks to have serious opposition in his bid for re-election from former Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve House. We told you this fight was coming back in December; despite a pretty successful 2014, Republican Party activists are not sold on Call and are not happy that he continues to take home […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Today and tomorrow Governor Hickenloopers' Blue Ribbon Panel on Oil and Gas policy is meeting in Rifle to discuss the future of drilling and fracking in Colorado.

We've written extensively about the myriad of problems facing the Jefferson County Republican Party — and how those troubles may impact statewide races such as U.S. Senate and Governor — but we've got to admit that even we were surprised to see this latest tale of ineptitude from Jeffco Republicans. As John Aguilar of the […]
Colorado Republican Party vice-chairman Mark Baisley was elected to his post last September, as part of an insurrection against "establishment" Republicans by the Tea Party/Rocky Mountain Gun Owners grassroots wing. You may recall that Colorado GOP chairman Ryan Call's attempts to distance the party from certain gaffe-prone legislators like Sen. Vicki Marble and Rep. Lori Saine set […]
