In 2014, voters in Senate District 19 (Arvada/Westminster) elected Republican Laura Woods by a margin of fewer than 700 votes. Woods replaced Democrat Rachel Zenzinger, who had been appointed to the seat vacated by Sen. Evie Hudak in the wake of the 2013 Republican recall efforts. Woods instantly became one of the most hard-right members […]

Last weekend, outgoing Trump administration bound GOP Rep. Susan Beckman in House District 38 was replaced by the mayor of the teensy high-income enclave of Columbine Valley, Richard Champion–though the loser of the appointment Brenda Stokes vows to fight on in a primary–and as the Colorado Springs Gazette’s Michael Karlik reports, the very fine Republicans […]
Following the vote last Wednesday afternoon by the GOP-controlled U.S. Senate to acquit President Donald Trump, Sen. Cory Gardner has been on a tear of press avails both in Washington, D.C. and back home in Colorado–more availability (voluntary availability, that is) than Gardner has seen fit to grant reporters in either location for a very, […]
CBS4 updates on an expanding campaign and bumped-up ad spending for Sen. Bernie Sanders ahead of Colorado’s big date with Super Tuesday, after Sanders raised $25 million in January: In addition to adding new staff in Colorado, Sanders’ campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, said they will be spending $5.5 million on television and digital ads in […]
Via GOP Rep. Matt Soper, Colorado House Republicans had themselves an extemporaneous party on the floor of the chamber today to celebrate the acquittal yesterday of President Donald Trump: Rep. Soper exults less than eloquently: The rights of the innocence [sic] were upheld. The House Republican caucus celebrated the exoneration of President Trump. Long live […]
During the second term of President Barack Obama’s administration, conservatives accused the Internal Revenue Service of unfairly targeting conservative activist nonprofit groups for heightened scrutiny. Although a detailed report from the Treasury Department Inspector General in 2017 found that the IRS targeted both conservative and liberal groups based on keywords like “Tea Party” and “progressive,” […]

For over three years, a bipartisan struggle has raged to hold Donald Trump accountable for his innumerable outrages, disastrous policy agenda, and finally Trump’s high crimes and misdemeanors that were conclusively proven […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) “If 2018 was a Democratic wave, then 2020 is very likely to be a tsunami.” That’s the conclusion of an analysis of Colorado voting trends, released in a blog post last week by Ryan Winger, Director of Data Analysis and Research Projects at Magellan Strategies, a Republican-leaning pollster. Here are three […]
AP and the Denver Post reported Friday, and we wanted to make sure it got a mention: The Trump administration announced Friday that it is curbing legal immigration from six additional countries that officials said did not meet security standards, as part of an election-year push to further restrict immigration. Officials said immigrants from Kyrgyzstan, […]

As the Denver Post’s Elise Schmelzer reports, an arrest warrant for felony perjury has been issued in a controversial extreme risk protection order (ERPO) case out of Larimer County–a “red flag” request filed by the mother of a man killed by Colorado State University police, in which Susan Holmes claimed under penalty of perjury that […]

With all eyes squarely focused on the slow-motion train wreck playing out in Washington, D.C., we wanted to be sure a new report from the office of Colorado State Auditor Dianne Ray got a mention. It’s the latest shining example of “good corporate citizenship” from the oil and gas industry, whose attempt to apocalyptically upend […]
U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, the leader of Colorado’s Republican Party, says he knows there are “a few Democrat senators who are seriously considering voting to acquit in this situation.” A call to Buck’s office seeking the names of these Democrats was not returned. Buck made the comment this week on KFTM 1400-AM (at 9 min […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) has had a rough couple of weeks months thanks to his transparent inability to even pretend that he’s anything more than a rubber stamp for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Trump on the topic of impeachment. Gardner’s obsequiousness has made him a national punchline; on Tuesday David Leonhardt […]
Skiing in Colorado is pretty expensive these days, but even the priciest day on the slopes isn’t nearly as expensive as skiing with Sen. Cory Gardner’s family and friends. For $2,500 per person or $3,000 per family ($5,000 for corporate PACs), lobbyists and political consultants could bring partners and kids to join the Senator, his […]

We wrote a few days ago about yet another embarrassing moment for Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma), who continues to dodge reporters on impeachment questions by ducking into any available elevator on Capitol Hill. That moment was captured spectacularly by CNN reporter Manu Raju, which gave birth to this fantastic GIF that sums up Gardner […]
We’ve noted at length in this space that creating a “public option” for health care in Colorado will be perhaps the biggest fight of the 2020 legislative session.
