President Trump is really feeling the Holiday season in 2025. A few weeks after symbolically pardoning a couple of turkeys in the annual pre-Thanksgiving event at the White House, Trump did it again on Thursday night. As Nick Coltrain reports for The Denver Post: President Donald Trump claimed to grant former Colorado county clerk Tina […]
As Chase Woodruff reports for Colorado Newsline, the wait is over as a long-rumored Democratic primary challenge from state Sen. Julie Gonzales against incumbent Democratic Sen. John Hickenlooper steps out from behind a weekend press embargo: Democratic state Sen. Julie Gonzales on Monday announced she is running to unseat U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper in 2026, […]
As FOX 31’s Heather Willard reports, following the refusal over the holiday weekend by Colorado officials to honor the request by the Department of Justice to transfer convicted felon former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters to federal custody, from which she would likely be either released or moved to Ghislaine Maxwell-style accommodations at a “Club […]
(When you can’t beat ’em the old-fashioned way — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Ostensibly, ballot initiatives are meant as a way for the average citizen to create political change without the Legislature. But over half of the initiatives which could be put to Colorado voters in 2026 have […]
The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage: [image or embed] — Rep. Jason Crow (@crow.house.gov) November 20, 2025 at 12:15 PM —– As Politico reports, a video recorded by Democratic lawmakers with military service experience reminding members of the […]
As we noted last week, soon-to-be-former Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky was casting around for her next elected office after a surprising defeat in her re-election campaign. With more time to ponder her political future, Jurinsky has apparently decided against running for an open seat on the Douglas County Board of Commissioners in District […]
The Colorado Republican Party is nothing if not utterly and hopelessly predictable. As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, the state party that POLITICO once said “would rather lose than change” is once again wrapped around its own axle: For the second time in as many years, a group […]
Whoa. No, seriously: WHOA! It would be hard to overstate how bigly Democrats won on Tuesday, both here in Colorado and throughout the country, but we’re going to try! The 2025 election was a MASSIVE repudiation of all things MAGA and Donald Trump that should send shivers down the spine of every Republican running for […]
Colorado’s one-woman cacaphony of controversy Rep. Lauren Boebert’s whole schtick, or at least a large percentage of it, is goading into outrage anyone even slightly to her left with as wild a display of offensive tropes as she can muster with the available props. It’s a race to the cultural bottom we try not to […]
There’s no avoiding polling data in politics. Not all data is the same, however, and some is more accurately predictive than others. One question that has been asked regularly for decades is much more indicative of election outcomes than others: The Generic Congressional Ballot. The GCB asks respondents, If the election for U.S. House of Representatives […]
If you are still holding on to a ballot for the 2025 election, which ends on Tuesday at 7:00 pm, remember that it is far too late to drop that ballot in the mail. Ballots must be received by the county clerk before 7:00 pm on Tuesday, November 4 — postmarks don’t count. For a list of […]
(The drama llama strikes the House GOP mini-minority once again — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Colorado state Rep. Stephanie Luck (R-Penrose) will not run for reelection next year. Speaking at the Fremont County GOP monthly meeting last night, Luck cited the need to spend more time with her […]
(Moths to the electoral flame — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Earlier this month the Colorado Title Board set the title for Initiative 149, “Right to Life from Conception.” The initiative is the latest personhood effort from Angela Eicher and Faye Barnhart of Brush, who have consistently submitted anti-abortion ballot […]
The Colorado Secretary of State’s office has released the first ballot return numbers for the 2025 election: For as much as Republicans complain about mail balloting, it’s pretty clear that Coloradans love the process. All of 62 people statewide have voted in person thus far. One of the more interesting set of numbers comes from […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder On Wednesday, a panel of top Colorado healthcare executives warned that federal cuts to Medicaid, under the so-called Big Beautiful Bill, will affect not only Medicaid recipients but Colorado’s wider health care system, pushing up costs and the number of uninsured people across the […]
Actually, as Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, go ahead and look because it’s objectively newsworthy: Colorado Springs Democrat Jessica Killin, an Army veteran and former chief of staff to second gentleman Doug Emhoff, raised more than $1 million in the initial quarter of her campaign to challenge Republican U.S. Rep. […]
As Cassandra Ballard reports for the Aurora Sentinel, Aurora’s headline-hoarding far-right city councillor Danielle Jurnisky’s latest cry for attention, a recall campaign she initiated against Arapahoe County District Attorney Amy Padden, will not move forward after Jurinsky and her usual-suspect GOP attorney Suzanne Taheri informed the Secretary of State that they don’t have the signatures: […]
(Nonpartisan no more — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Municipal elections in Aurora are supposed to be non-partisan, but while Aurora’s elections are many things, non-partisan is not one of them. Last week, Aurora City Councillor Danielle Jurinsky and her slate of Republican-backed candidates held a rally at the […]
(Republished under Creative Commons License by Colorado Pols) by Chase Woodruff, Colorado Newsline September 29, 2025 Colorado voters will be asked this fall to weigh in on two ballot measures concerning the state’s free school meals program, the only statewide contests in the 2025 off-year election. Propositions LL and MM were referred to the ballot […]
Back in 2022, GOP Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer was running for Congress in Colorado’s then brand-new and closely divided CO-08 with no apologies about one of the wackier points in her long record in elected office representing deep red Weld County, helping organize in 2013 a proposal for Weld and several other lightly-populated rural Colorado counties […]
There isn’t time in the news cycle to take note of every ad that goes up in America’s hottest U.S. House race, Colorado’s ultra-swing CO-08 featuring America’s Most Vulnerable Incumbent™ Rep. Gabe Evans, but when it’s a timely, hard-hitting, and (most importantly) well-funded ad campaign like this latest offering from the House Majority Forward PAC, […]
Over the weekend, MSNBC broke the latest problematic news for the “most transparent administration in American history”–a story that in any other administration would have ended in federal bribery charges, but because border czar Tom Homan is tight with Donald Trump, no such legal oversight apparently applies: The federal investigation was launched in western Texas […]
(Very fine Libertarians — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Leaders of the Colorado Republican and Libertarian parties held a joint public discussion on the Twitter Spaces platform last week. Billed as a “Special Session Recap,” the online event drew a few hundred listeners curious to hear the state chairs […]
Four years ago, then-Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl was on the run from inquiring reporters after a questionably lengthy campaign “pre-launch” period, during which the independent expenditure campaign operating on Ganahl’s behalf could money up while Ganahl carried out a “podcast tour” of the state that served as a campaign tour in all but name. […]
Send us a message! Really! This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, cutting taxes is bad, actually, and the State Legislature is about to go cut another billion dollars from the state budget because of it. Then, do you enjoy friend of the pod Kyle Clark’s innovative evening news show, microgiving campaigns, and refusal to let the […]
