If you spend enough time following Jefferson County politics you’ll sooner or later run across Jeffco Republican Party chair “Nancy Pallozzi,” whose entire claim to fame appears to rest upon her phonetically similar name to the former Democratic Speaker of the House, and has been involved in a variety of low-level and generally unsuccessful political […]
Don’t take our word for it, find out yourself next Tuesday: Among the many victories of the “whacktivist” right in the recent Colorado Republican Party internal leadership elections, very much in line with Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams’ election to be the next state GOP chairman and Vickie Tonkins’ enduring reign of error in El […]
Readers will recall a controversy last year after the Jefferson County Republican Party led at the time by chair Nancy Pallozzi announced a fundraising event starring then-South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, who now serves as the Secretary of Authoritarian Cosplay Homeland Security under President Donald Trump based on qualifications that have never been precisely articulated. […]
In blue-trending Jefferson County, once considered a bellwether for the state’s evolution from red to blue and today reflecting the state’s overall Democratic dominance at the polls, the local Republican Party has not been what you’d call a competitive political organization, staffed by crackpots like the immediate former chairwoman of the JeffCo GOP Nancy Pallozzi […]
Over the summer as the issue of migrant gangs in the city of Aurora, Colorado became a national political flashpoint, co-opted by now President-elect Donald Trump as part of his election-year narrative of a city, state, and imminently nation on the brink of destruction, the Republican Mayor of Aurora former Rep. Mike Coffman has proven […]
Keeping tabs on the ongoing feud between dug-in Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave Williams and the growing number of nominal fellow Republicans determined to oust Williams from his position over a lengthy list of moral and fiduciary misdeeds, Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports that the county-level officials who tried and […]
That’s the latest highly consequential late Friday afternoon news from Ernest Luning at the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, a restraining order has been issued shutting down tomorrow’s scheduled meeting of Colorado GOP central committee members in Brighton to consider removing chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams and his leadership allies at the behest of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder In the days following the first public call by another party leader for a vote on his removal, Colorado GOP Chair Dave Williams took two actions: he announced the censure of that leader by her fellow executive committee members, and paid himself his next […]
There may be no person in Colorado more excited for this week to end than Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams. On Tuesday, Williams was absolutely hammered by Jeff Crank in the race for the Republican congressional nomination in CO-05; Williams lost by a 65-35 margin despite maneuvering the State Party to assist his campaign […]
As Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, yesterday the growing faction within the Colorado Republican Party calling for the ouster of party chairman and congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams added to its ranks the Denver Republican Party, with a petition from Jefferson County GOP chair Nancy Pallozzi allegedly signed […]
As the standoff over Colorado Republican Party chairman and congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams’ kleptocratic leadership and attention-seeking appeals to hatred meant to distract and confound his critics barrels toward an as-yet unknown resolution, we’re seeing some pushback now from Christian conservatives who may be in a position to defend Williams in any […]
As Colorado Public Radio reports today, the crisis within the Colorado Republican Party over the reckless, self-dealing party chairman and congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams is coming to a head following last week’s over-the-top smearing of LGBTQ+ people in honor of Pride Month blasted out under the state party’s brand, with a growing […]
That’s the word this morning in a statement from Jefferson County Republican Party chair Nancy Pallozzi, a fundraiser planned for tomorrow at the Denver West Marriott headlined by South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has been cancelled as the repercussions from Noem’s disclosure in a new memoir that she personally shot and killed a young hunting […]
(An evening with a puppy killer, anyone? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem will be the featured speaker at this Saturday’s fundraising dinner for the Jefferson County Republican Party. Noem, who is on Donald Trump’s vice presidential shortlist, was already widely known as a conservative firebrand, but she returned to the […]
If you miss seeing today’s much-ballyhooed partial solar eclipse, you won’t get another good look at the moon blotting out the sun for another 20 years. Colorado will be in the middle of another election season in August 2044…and Republican Ramey Johnson will probably still be a candidate for some sort of elected office. As […]
(Where they go one, oh forget it — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Several well-known Colorado conservatives including the chair of the Jefferson County Republicans signed a U.S. Supreme Court amicus brief submitted by a QAnon-promoting conspiracy theorist. Among the nearly fifty amicus briefs submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court by those hoping to influence the […]
The Colorado GOP’s new point man on election integrity, notorious election denier Ron Hanks, who kicked off his efforts by telling the Republican members of local election boards to refuse to sign off on certifying their county election results, escalated his rhetoric recently by calling Secretary of State Jena Griswold Hitler. He also convinced five […]
(The Force will not necessarily be with you – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado’s recall leaders aren’t calling it quits, they’re just rebranding and expanding. Today, the Resist Polis PAC, which claimed to have collected hundreds of thousands of signatures but didn’t turn in any, re-launched as Colorado Freedom Force, with renamed Facebook groups and […]
The Denver Post’s Anna Staver wrote an excellent post-mortem of the Colorado Republican Party’s failed summer of recalls this past weekend, and here’s how it starts: When Congressman Ken Buck took the reins of the Colorado Republican Party in March, he stood on the stage in Englewood High School’s auditorium and told the party faithful […]
Yesterday afternoon, the recall campaigns targeting state Sens. Pete Lee of Colorado Springs and Brittany Pettersen of Lakewood announced the failure of their efforts after having collected an unknown number of signatures short of the requirement in both districts. This news yesterday afternoon came following Friday’s announcement that the “Dismiss Polis” recall petition campaign gathered […]
UPDATE #2: Sen. Cory Gardner toes the Dudley Brown line, says the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter: Sen. Cory Gardner took some questions in Aspen yesterday. “I don’t support gun control,” he said of dealing with the weekend shootings. [Pols emphasis] There it is, folks. Cory Gardner is RMGO’s man to the bitter end. —– UPDATE: […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) From Colorado Times Recorder intern Noah Zucker: Across Colorado, the conservative movement to recall Democratic Gov. Jared Polis has been divided for weeks. Now, supporters of one of the groups promising to remove the governor believe they’ve been cheated out of their donations. Recall discussions started on social media soon after […]
[mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”60%”]“Everywhere you look, people are circulating petitions to recall elected officials throughout the state. And yes, it’s all a little silly.” — The Pueblo Chieftain (July 18, 2019)[/mantra-pullquote] As you may have heard, there are a lot of nonsense recall campaigns being instituted by a handful of disgruntled Republicans still steaming over big […]
We noted over the weekend that efforts to recall State Sen. Brittany Pettersen (D-Lakewood) were off to a bit of a rough start, with the first petition-gathering event taking place at a location that isn’t even within the boundaries of SD-22. As Anna Staver reports for the Denver Post, the entire Pettersen recall effort is […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: The Greeley Tribune’s Trevor Reid reports: The Official Recall group said that the Dismiss group’s “premature” filing suggests malicious intent, adding the Resist and Dismiss groups may attempt to hijack the Official Recall name and logo.
