We took note last week of a proposal between the Colorado Republican Party and the Colorado Libertarian Party to “join forces” (sometimes) in an effort to prevent Democrats from continuing to win elections in Colorado. The idea stems from a belief among some politicos on both sides that Libertarian candidates — who have long been […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: You can count Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Denver) among those who are not pleased with Boebert’s performative failures: We were elected to bring people together and get stuff done, not play hooky when our economy is on the line. https://t.co/tRfRRKJ6tg — Senator John Hickenlooper (@SenatorHick) June 1, 2023 —– We wrote on Tuesday that Congressperson […]
An email we were forwarded by Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave Williams yesterday assails the debt ceiling agreement reached over the holiday weekend between the White House and GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and lavishes praise upon Colorado’s two farthest-right Republicans in Congress, Reps. Lauren Boebert and Ken Buck, who have vowed to vote against the […]
The Washington Post reports: Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in prison Thursday in the first punishments to be handed down for seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. U.S. prosecutors asked for up to 25 years in prison and the longest sentence by far in the […]
One of several filters we apply before deciding to post on a news item involving Colorado’s perpetual controversy machine Rep. Lauren Boebert is trying to ensure that the subject has an intersection with political issues that Boebert has taken a position on. When Boebert announced publicly that her 17-year-old son was about to be a […]
Newsweek reports today on a new complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission by the Democratic-aligned national group End Citizens United against Colorado’s worst bookkeeper in Congress Rep. Lauren Boebert, alleging that Boebert misused funds from a PAC to pay for last-minute phone banking services in the hectic final days of the 2022 campaign she […]
It’s the final full week of the 2023 session of the Colorado General Assembly. This probably isn’t the only action alert you’ll get from us this week, so let’s jump right into actions you can take both now and later to make a difference in these hectic final days. We’re close to success on legislation […]
(Republished under Creative Commons license by Colorado Pols) by Chase Woodruff, Colorado Newsline April 28, 2023 In what’s become an annual tradition in the Colorado General Assembly, Democrats in the majority are spending the final weeks of the legislative session passing bills aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while their Republican colleagues persist in outright […]
Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-ifle) is known for a few things, none of which relate to her actual title as a Member of Congress. As we saw from the latest polling via the The Rocky Mountaineer, voters in Boebert’s Congressional district (CO-03) primarily know her for one of two things: 1) Defending Donald Trump, and 2) […]
We’re in the closing days of the 2023 session of the Colorado General Assembly, and it’s crunch time to make sure some of the most important priorities of the year don’t get lost in the shuffle. Action item #1 this week: It’s time for consumers and the gig workers we all rely on to work […]
Let’s kick off the week with some big news. Last week, ProgressNow Colorado and our partner Global Strategy Group released our latest Rocky Mountaineer Research poll focused on Colorado’s Third Congressional District. The results are clear: Rep. Lauren Boebert is paying a price for ignoring the issues most relevant to her constituents, and is locked […]
Testimony will be held today in the State Senate Health and Human Services Committee regarding HB23-1003 (“School Mental Health Assessment”), which has become another flashpoint for right-wing activists forever searching for their next grievance. This legislation, which has already passed the State House, is riling up a group of “parents’ rights” advocacy groups that tend […]
As you’ve probably read in the news by now, there’s an important bill making its way through the Colorado legislature to increase the supply of affordable housing across the state. The reality is that Colorado isn’t keeping up with the demand for new housing. The shortage of housing is hurting everyone, and if we don’t […]
(Republished under Creative Commons license by Colorado Pols) by Chase Woodruff, Colorado Newsline April 5, 2023 As voters in Colorado’s two largest cities returned their ballots on Tuesday in pivotal municipal elections, a news story containing a major factual error about the state’s crime rate was shared widely by Republican leaders, police officials and other […]
Americans take strong consumer protection laws for granted while they protect the public from fraud, defective goods, and bad service. Much like the work week before unions fought for the weekend, life without consumer protection laws would be bad for everyone. Except ripoff artists. Consumer fraud is a huge problem in Colorado. Colorado ranks 12th […]
With your help, great things are starting to happen at the Colorado Capitol this year. I want to start off the week by thanking everyone who contacted your state representative to support House Bill 23-1099, legislation to save Colorado renters money by streamlining the applicant screening process. By allowing renters to provide portable screening reports […]
If you’re like me, you probably know someone who is employed in the “gig economy.” What you might not know is that many rideshare and delivery drivers we count on every day are getting a raw deal. Drivers tell us that every year they feel squeezed for every last drop of profit for big shareholders […]
The race to become the next Mayor of Denver has been fairly uninteresting to this point — aside from the regular commentary regarding the absurdly-large field of candidates — but with ballots hitting mailboxes next week, things are finally starting to heat up. State Representative Leslie Herod is widely-considered to be residing within the top […]
On Thursday in the State House of Representatives, a handful of Republican lawmakers strode to the podium during a discussion about the Equal Rights Amendment to barf out a litany of complaints about issues ranging from abortion to the very existence of transgender people. It was a disgusting breach of decorum and common decency from […]
We’ve got another busy week ahead in the Colorado legislature, and if you live in Denver there are numerous opportunities this week to learn more about candidates running in your rapidly-approaching city elections! Let’s get right to the action: Action item #1 this week: THANK YOU to everyone who contacted your lawmakers in support of […]
(Been waiting for this shoe to drop — Republished under CC license by Colorado Pols) by Quentin Young, Colorado Newsline February 22, 2023 Colorado attorney Jenna Ellis, one of the central figures in former President Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, is the subject of a formal professional misconduct complaint that’s expected to […]
Last Friday, Colorado received another stark reminder of the continuing danger to our most basic rights. Three far-right bills to criminalize and impose non-medical burdens on abortion rights were killed in the Colorado House after hours of testimony. During the hearing, Republican Rep. Scott Bottoms sickeningly likened abortion to the Holocaust. [1] None of these […]

An incident on Monday afternoon at the venue hosting a debate for Denver City Council District 10 candidates is provoking lots of discussion today about the hardships faced by people with disabilities in everyday life. The Denver Post’s Conrad Swanson reports: Denver City Councilman Chris Hinds couldn’t maneuver his wheelchair onto the stage at the […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: Ernest Luning of the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman follows up from Saturday, in which MAGA Republicans handily defeated efforts by establishment Republicans to push them out of the way: After easily winning reelection to a third term chairing the El Paso County Republican Party on Saturday in Colorado Springs, Vickie […]
