Assessing Tuesday’s unexpectedly historic off-year elections as the final results trickle in, one of the biggest shock victories for Democrats in Colorado is what appears to be the dismantlement of Aurora Mayor and former GOP Congressman Mike Coffman’s carefully and expensively crafted Republican-in-all-but-name majority on the Aurora City Council. If the results hold giving Democrats […]
The Aurora Sentinel’s Cassandra Ballard reports today on the fallout over Tuesday night’s address by President Donald Trump to a joint session of Congress, in which the long-debunked and reborn falsehoods about the supposed “takeover” of the city of Aurora by migrant gangs continued to flow freely from the presidential piehole: During his speech to […]
As the Aurora Sentinel reports, the city’s representative in Congress Rep. Jason Crow is in the district this week touting funding he secured through earmarks for important local programs, including $3 million for the Aurora Central Library: Aurora library officials touted a $3 million congressional appropriations contribution, funding a project to provide a new and […]
(Never forget — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican Mike Coffman wants to be elected mayor of Aurora again, but for most of his 34-year political career, Coffman was a warrior for issues that had little to do with city government and everything to do with spreading a right-wing agenda across Colorado and the country. Immigration […]
Below are some of the claims Coffman made about his time on the streets, followed by my perspective from what I witnessed. Coffman: “I never met anybody in the encampments that, you know, mentioned a desire to get a job or move away from there. I think it’s very sad.” (KHOW Dan Caplis Show 5/19/21) […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Chairman of the party of hard work and individual responsibility just can’t seem to…work hard and take individual responsibility. Quad-dicted YUGE loser Donald Trump produced a video name checking several El Paso County Republicans in an attempt to…make them somehow even more unelectable? Former Bruce D […]
Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman used the occasion of a Friday news dump to announce that his politically-disastrous proposal to turn Aurora into a “strong mayor” city was being dropped on account of the fact that it was killing his chances of being re-elected in November. Okay, that’s not what Coffman said exactly, but it’s not […]
As we discussed in the latest episode of the Get More Smarter Podcast (below) the self-inflicted disaster in Aurora that is Mayor Mike Coffman’s idiotic “strong mayor” initiative campaign may well end up preventing Coffman from winning a second term in November. A longtime Republican elected official, Coffman was narrowly elected Mayor in 2019 in […]
UPDATE: The Aurora Sentinel: Andrews’ exit leaves Marcano as the Democratic frontrunner and main challenger to Coffman, a Republican military veteran who boasts a lengthy resume in Colorado politics. Coffman was elected mayor in 2019 after losing his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives to Jason Crow… [Marcano] said Andrews agreed to pull out […]
We wrote last week about Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman’s embarrassingly ham-handed communications strategy revolving around his idea to turn the City of Aurora into a “strong mayor” government with — SURPRISE — Coffman himself as Aurora’s new supreme leader. Both the petition that got the “strong mayor” idea on the November ballot, and Coffman’s involvement, […]
Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, a Republican, has served in elected office since basically just after the dinosaurs went extinct. This year, Coffman is running for re-election AND pushing a ballot initiative that would give the next Aurora Mayor — which he hopes will be him — significantly more power. As we discussed in this space […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: Steve Sundberg finally got around to commenting on his racist videos with one of those “sorry if you were offended” type of “apologies.” From The Denver Post: “In a dark Covid shut down, when businesses were fighting to survive, with people experiencing mental health issues, uncertainty, suicide, substance abuse, domestic violence and fear, […]
Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog breaks some major news today with the endorsement of Democratic incumbent Attorney General Phil Weiser by his Republican predecessor in the office, Cynthia Coffman: “Phil Weiser understands and honors the office he has held the last four years,” Coffman said in a statement. “He is respected […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) If only Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman’s proposed ban on camping in Aurora, as well as his week pretending to be homeless for a local news story, could be written off solely as a way to get his face on TV. But it’s so much worse. Coffman is brazenly using some of […]
(The weekend being homeless didn’t turn out like you planned – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman says you should believe him when it comes to homelessness because he spent a week on the streets last year, as seen in a local TV story. Coffman said his experience in homeless shelters and in […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) On a KNUS radio show Saturday, host Jimmy Sengenberger aired a report by 9News Anchor Kyle Clark about Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman’s proposed camping ban. “It’s tough to find anyone who would call Denver’s homeless camping ban a success outside of the people who are paid to convince you of that,” […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Right-wing radio host Dan Caplis got to the heart of the matter last week when he asked Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman what happens if homeless people ignore Coffman’s proposed camping ban and don’t relocate to Coffman’s “designated area.” “Where does that end,” asked Caplis on his KHOW show May 19. After […]
The Aurora Sentinel reports on fresh intrigue in that city’s politics under Mayor Mike Coffman, the former Republican Congressman plotting his next political moves–and getting help from old friends to help…well, old friends: Mayor Mike Coffman has filed a lawsuit against Aurora and the city clerk, aiming to reverse recently enacted campaign finance rules… “That […]
As government entities large and small across the globe respond to the widening COVID-19 outbreak, urging and in many cases forcing public gatherings to a halt in an effort to “flatten the curve” of disease transmission beneath the capacity of public health systems to cope at any one time, former GOP Congressman and Aurora Mayor […]
Politico reporter Connor O’Brien caught sight of a familiar face at the U.S. Capitol in Washington today: Coffman’s now the mayor of Aurora, CO. He took office last month. — Connor O’Brien (@connorobrienNH) January 23, 2020 We’re not sure if this is ex-Rep. now Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman’s first trip back to D.C. since his […]
CBS4 Denver reports, as of this moment we still don’t technically know the winner of the extremely close race to be the next Mayor of the city of Aurora, coming down to just a few hundred votes with lots of procedural finger-pointing–and enough ballots waiting to be “cured” to at least hypothetically swing a race […]
A press release from national pro-gun safety Giffords PAC announces an unusual foray by the organization into a municipal race–that is, the mayoral race in Aurora, Colorado: Giffords PAC announced a new $50,000 ad campaign supporting gun safety champion Omar Montgomery in the Aurora mayoral race against Mike Coffman, long in the pocket of the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Congressman Mike Coffman, who’s now running to be mayor of Aurora, and U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) sound like they are opposed to a red flag law, but if you listen carefully, you’ll hear that neither is shutting the door completely on the policy, which would allow judges to order […]
The Aurora Sentinel’s Kara Mason reports on what’s shaping up to be an epic contest between two battle-hardened Republican politicians, stepping up to reach for the prize of serving as the Mayor of Aurora… Actually it’s just Mike Coffman, recently ousted from his seat in Congress versus Ryan Frazier, one of the state’s losing-est perennial […]
The Aurora Sentinel’s Kara Mason makes official what’s been water-cooler discussion for some weeks now–Mike Coffman, fresh off his double-digit defeat in last year’s CD-6 race, is planning a run for Mayor of the City of Aurora: Former Aurora Congressman Mike Coffman is in the race for Aurora mayor, the longtime Aurora resident’s spokeswoman confirmed […]
