(Time for some traffic problems — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado U.S. Senate hopeful Joe O’Dea is holding a campaign event this Saturday in Denver with former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. O’Dea lists transportation infrastructure as a priority issue and his leadership experience is running a company that builds roads and bridges. This makes […]
Here’s a cool program worth highlighting from a press release via the Secretary of State’s office: Today, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, Regional Transportation District (RTD) General Manager and CEO Debra A. Johnson, Boulder County Clerk and Recorder Molly Fitzpatrick, and Denver County Clerk and Recorder Paul D. López highlighted two upcoming zero fare […]
If you compared the day-to-day news coverage of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Joe Odea’s campaign to the message in O’Dea’s ads, you’d be hard-pressed to know they’re describing the same person. On the one hand, O’Dea’s ads are heavy with his “Country over Party” and “Joe won’t vote the party line” message, while on the […]
Colorado Public Radio’s Andrew Kenney has a new in-depth story today examining Colorado Republican gubernatorial nominee Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s strange turn in the closing weeks of her quixotic train wreck of a campaign toward conspiracy theories about so-called “furries” rampaging unchecked in Colorado public schools. Kenney’s examination of Ganahl’s bizarre endgame seeks to answer an […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: As Chris Cillizza explains for CNN: What Trump is doing here is actively sabotaging O’Dea’s chances. In order to have a chance at pulling off an upset against Bennet, O’Dea needs the Trumpist Republican base fully behind him and the support of independents and moderates across Colorado. He can’t win without both parts […]
Several Colorado newspapers have decided against making endorsements in political races in 2022, including The Pueblo Chieftain, The Ft. Collins Coloradoan, and The Greeley Tribune. The Colorado Springs Gazette, meanwhile, has turned its candidate endorsement process into a ridiculous partisan pit of repetitive Republican talking points. The Gazette has completely given up on even pretending to be nonpartisan by endorsing […]
UPDATE: The Denver Post finds some similar problems with Kellner’s narrative: Between 2020 and 2021, Colorado saw an 8% increase in crime against persons, according to state public safety data, compared to an increase of 12% in Kellner’s district. Judicial District 1 (Jefferson and Gilpin counties) saw a 5% increase, Judicial District 2 (Denver) saw […]
As anyone even casually following national politics is aware by now, Republicans once thought to have a lock on winning back the U.S. House and Senate during the 2022 midterms elections are approaching Election Day facing serious deficiencies in their fielded candidates, as well as persistent distrust of the Republican brand after the violence at […]
(We have nothing to add — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Brian Peotter has a message for pro-Trump, “liberty-minded” Republicans in Colorado: “This November, tell Washington that you care more about principles than power. The Republican can’t win anyway! Don’t throw away your vote — use it to send a message.” “If you have traditional family […]
We’re several news cycles into Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s latest bout of race-derailing wackiness, determining that the best way to boost her sinking campaign is to open a new front against the peril of “furries”–claiming without any factual basis that a subculture of students “identifying as cats” are disrupting learning for kids across the state. After […]
UPDATE: As The Washington Post reports in a story about Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker: With polls showing Republican candidates underperforming the fundamentals in several key Senate races, Walker — for all his previous problems, which were many — hasn’t lagged as badly as some. And just two weeks ago, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Sharon Sullivan for the Colorado Times Recorder U.S Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) spoke at a Mesa County Republican Women luncheon on Monday, where she mentioned she received a call last week from a father whose kid was in trouble at school because he “stepped on a furry.” Furries are fans […]
UPDATE: Heidi Ganahl…quintuples down? Sextuples down? It defies comprehension: 🐱: In response to her claims that kids are identifying as cats in Colorado schools, @heidiganahl issued a statement to @KRDONC13, saying parents, teachers, and students know what is happening, not legislators, lazy members of the media, or Governor Jared Polis. #copolitics https://t.co/RXAB8G6ErS pic.twitter.com/NgxsM00yVC — Spencer […]
Though we all wish it wasn’t necessary: The New York Daily News reports on comedian Amy Schumer’s new spoof sketch ad encouraging tourism to Colorado, travel that may or may not have anything to do with our state’s increasingly important status as a haven for abortion rights in a post-Roe America: The self-deprecating stand-up comedy […]
(Wendy Meritt everywhere — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican Lang Sias wants to be Colorado’s next treasurer, but first he has to convince voters that he’s the best choice to manage the state’s multi-billion dollar finances. Yet, after learning that a QAnon-supporting Jan. 6 participant gave his campaign $1,250 — the maximum amount allowed — […]
As everybody knows, politicians like to write books–or at least have books published under their name to which they contributed enough to claim the credit. Most of those books do not go on to become best-sellers, and usually wind up in the bargain bin at Walmart within a year or two. But as Forbes’ Zach […]
Five thousand reasons above sea level, in this case. Best wishes to friends and family in the Sunshine State. The Red Cross needs your money.
As Kimberly Nicoletti reports for The Aspen Times, supporters of the long effort to pass the CORE Act, which would designate new national monuments and federal lands, are hoping a final decision is just around the corner: Colorado ski towns could have a national monument right in their backyards, relatively speaking, and supporters hope it […]
UPDATE: Ernest Luning of the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman reports on the response from the various campaigns to today’s polling numbers. Up first, the frat house that is the Joe O’Dea campaign strikes back with its familiar brand of inexplicable chest-pounding: A spokesman for O’Dea’s campaign disputed the poll’s findings in a […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii talk with Governor Jared Polis about the 2022 campaign, truth in advertising, executing an agenda during COVID, saving people money, and the best cut of meat of a cow: The brisket. We also ask Gov. Polis for his thoughts on the […]
As the Washington Post’s Mariana Alfaro and Jacob Bogage report, on the street near the U.S. Capitol yesterday, activists from a youth voter organizing group Voters of Tomorrow caught up with Congress’ “Q-some Twosome,” Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Colorado. It’s not an uncommon occurrence for politicians on the street […]
As Kyle Clark of 9News reminds us today via Twitter, we have reached the one year anniversary of the (first) launch of Republican Hiedi Heidi Ganahl’s campaign for Governor (Sept. 14 is the official anniversary): Following that four minute exchange, Ganahl’s campaign has declined or ignored 9NEWS’ interview requests for the last year. — Kyle […]
A conservative Georgia news outlet calling itself Georgia Virtue reports on a letter sent this week by Rep. Buddy Carter, co-authored by Colorado’s own Rep. Doug Lamborn, cautioning that the legalization of marijuana could pose “a threat to the U.S. energy grid.” A Congressman from Georgia spearheaded the initiative to pen a letter to the […]
UPDATE: But wait, there’s more! Because of course there’s more! Can’t make this up: Joe O’Dea’s defense of his voting for the 2020 ballot measure on abortion that did not have exceptions for rape or incest was that he didn’t write it, he just voted for it #cosen #copolitics pic.twitter.com/fTMC7aRal7 — danny (@dabbs346) September 9, […]
Republican State Sen. Dennis Hisey is all over the place…literally. And it looks like he may have broken the law as a result. As Marianne Goodland reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette, Hisey appears to have been playing musical residences in an effort to maintain his eligibility to remain a candidate for Senate District 11 […]
