(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Front Range developer Tim Walsh, who is running for state senate in Jefferson County, promises to “keep politics out of the classroom,” but he’s also funding a right-wing group with the opposite goal: teaching a conservative Christian version of American history to young people. In December 2020, Walsh and his wife […]
Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, the latest wave of a highly infectious subvariant of the Omicron flavor of the virus is surging across the planet–though due to the vaccines and better treatment options available in 2022 compared to two years ago, the rate of hospitalization and death is far below previous waves of the […]
UPDATE: Wherefore art thou, Felix? —– Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl (finally) announced her Lieutenant Governor running mate on Monday morning. It was not who she said it would be. Earlier this month, Ganahl said on a right-wing radio show that she would name on July 7 an Hispanic male as her running mate […]
A story last week from the Colorado Springs Gazette’s veteran political reporter Marianne Goodland takes a look at the post-primary Colorado House Republican caucus, which has seen some significant changes as a slate of candidates supported by the notorious Rocky Mountain Gun Owners went down in defeat on June 28th, and incumbent members of the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Senate candidate Joe O’Dea made his fortune building large public works projects including transit stations, highways, and bridges. In the closing days of the last month’s primary, O’Dea promised GOP voters that if elected to the U.S. Senate, he’ll complete Trump’s largest and most controversial construction project — the border […]
We wrote and updated at length on Thursday as yet another stupendous uncontained public relations failure played out in Republican gubernatorial nominee Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s campaign. After announcing to multiple radio outlets that she would make her selection for lieutenant governor public Thursday, saying “he’s a great Hispanic leader from rural Colorado,” word of Las […]
As could have been predicted by just about anyone, some Republican candidates who lost their primary elections a week ago are refusing in the finest tradition of former President Donald Trump to accept the outcome of those elections. In particular, state Rep. Ron Hanks and Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, two of the most ardent […]

The Denver Post’s Alex Burness reports on the relatively narrow victory last night by Heidi Ganahl over ex-Parker Mayor Greg Lopez in the Republican gubernatorial primary, with Ganahl squeaking out ahead of the baggage-laden Lopez by a 53-47% margin: Ganahl, a University of Colorado regent and the only Republican here still standing in statewide elected […]
The congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection held a surprise hearing today that included several new bombshells further implicating former President Trump and top advisers. The main witness today was Cassidy Hutchinson, a former top aide to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows who was privy to many of the innermost discussions […]
UPDATE: Somehow Hiedi Heidi Ganahl found a way to make this all even weirder: —– Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl is not exactly projecting confidence ahead of Tuesday’s Primary Election showdown with Greg Lopez: New: Heidi Ganahl won’t host a public watch party tomorrow. She’ll watch with “family and supporters at a home in […]
(Eep — Promoted by Colorado Pols) In late May, Republican Secretary of State candidate Tina Peters’ campaign made a $50,000 payment to PIN Business Network, a marketing company with ties to election conspiracist and podcast host Joe Oltmann. The payment was marked in the state’s campaign finance database as being for “internet advertising,” and amounts […]
Republican Hiedi Heidi Ganahl officially kicked off her campaign for Governor on September 14, 2021. On the day of her campaign launch, Ganahl took questions from reporters representing multiple news outlets — The Denver Post, 9News, The Associated Press, The Colorado Sun, etc. — because getting free earned media coverage is always a smart idea for a […]
Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea is a great example of what happens when a political consultant (in this case, Josh Penry) convinces a wealthy businessman who was otherwise fairly non-political that he can – and should – be a U.S. Senator. When you take someone who hasn’t spent a lot of time thinking about public […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) By David O. Williams for the Colorado Times Recorder. Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert on Wednesday tweeted lawmakers are powerless to stop mass shootings like Tuesday’s slaughter of 19 elementary school students in Uvalde, Texas, writing, “You cannot legislate away evil.” That prompted congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to ask, also on Twitter, “Why even […]
At Saturday’s Republican Rumble debates at Denver’s Grizzly Rose watering hole and events center, the scene of some excitement after Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams physically blocked CD-8 Republican candidate Lori Saine from joining her opponents on stage, organizers took some jeers for a backdrop banner with a painfully glaring typo: You’ve got to feel […]
(Fear and loathing at the Grizzly Rose — Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATED: This article initially stated that three Republican candidates running against congressional candidate Lori Saine joined other Republicans in deciding to exclude Saine from a GOP debate tomorrow after Saine failed to respond to emails inviting her to attend according to the Republican […]

The three Republican candidates for Colorado Secretary of State (SOS) took part in a candidate forum on Thursday, May 12. Republicans Tina Peters, Mike O’Donnell, and Pam Anderson met for what we believe to be the first time at the Foothills Republican Club in Jefferson County. Of course, we HAD to commemorate the event with […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It was a packed house at the Cinemark Tinseltown theater in Colorado Springs for Monday’s premiere of conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza’s new film, 2,000 Mules. D’Souza’s film is the latest attempt by conservatives at questioning the integrity of the 2020 presidential election, which has been the subject of numerous forensic audits […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: Tina Peters at last filed her first campaign finance report, and it was pretty good (relative to her Republican opponents, anyway). —– UPDATE: As of 3:41 pm, Peters has yet to file a campaign finance report. —– The deadline to file Q1 fundraising reports in Colorado was midnight on Monday, May 2, which […]
Another round of shocking disclosures today in the New York Times from the authors of the forthcoming book This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future, revelations from which have upended intra-Republican politics by demonstrating the extent of division within Republican leadership in the immediate aftermath of the violent insurrection at the […]
