UPDATE 11:20AM: American Bridge now eagerly circulating what could be the defining moment of today's debate, in which GOP Rep. Mike Coffman forgets something very, very important about his position on abortion rights: Like we said, this will be in a TV spot very soon. Maybe more than one. —– It’s time to fire up the […]
Fundraising reports for the month of July are now available through the Colorado Secretary of State's website. Before we do our regular comparison of fundraising efforts for state candidates, it's worth highlighting how at least one Colorado candidate will have no hope of winning in November without the infamous Koch Brothers. As we wrote before […]
As we head into August of this 2014 election season, Rep. Mike Coffman remains one of the most vulnerable members of Congress in the entire nation, in a district considered a model for balanced representation–so much so that the CD-6 race has become a "petri dish" for understanding how politics in America today works. But it wasn't […]
The Denver Post's Jon Murray reports that Colorado's Rep. Mike Coffman, one of the nation's most vulnerable incumbent members of Congress going into the 2014 elections, has made the illustrious Final Four of HBO host Bill Maher's "Flip a District" competition: Here’s how Maher, the unabashedly liberal host of “Real Time,” described Coffman: “That’s right, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a blog post about a week ago, I gave conservative talk-radio host Hugh Hewitt some unsolicited information on why Rep. Mike Coffman is still so upset at losing his conservative district and now being a square peg in the round hole of Aurora. Coffman told Hewitt that Democrats had "targeted […]
A press release this morning from a coalition of Colorado immigration reform advocacy groups–America's Voice, Mi Familia Vota, the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, the Colorado Latino Forum, and SEIU Local 105–calls out Colorado GOP Reps. Cory Gardner and Mike Coffman for "play[ing] politics with young people's lives instead of pushing for meaningful comprehensive immigration reform." This […]
Earlier this week the Republican Governor's Association (RGA) was accused of funneling money through the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) in order to fund television ads that were critical of GOP gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo — ostensibly to boost the candidacy of Bob Beauprez in advance of the June Primary election. The story received national […]
Attorney General John Suthers and his chief deputy, Cynthia Coffman (who also happens to be the Republican nominee for AG in 2014) have been criticized repeatedly over the last several weeks for continuing to defend a "same-sex marriage ban" that is quite clearly doomed to be defeated by the Supreme Court (Colorado, U.S., or otherwise). […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) If you follow the 6th Congressional District race, Coffman vs. Romanoff, you know that everything we're seeing, from Coffman's attempts to re-invent himself (abortion, immigration) to Romanoff's decision to run at all, goes back to the 2010 redistricting, which turned the seat from red to purple. From day one after the […]
Colorado Attorney General John Suthers was dealt yet another blow in his ongoing and fruitless quest to defend a same-sex marriage ban in Colorado. From the Denver Post: Federal and state judges have now declared the law unconstitutional, and Boulder's clerk continues to defy him by issuing licenses to same-sex couples. On Wednesday, U.S. District […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It's one thing for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to drop into Colorado and tell us our quality of life is going down the tubes thanks to marijuana legalization. But it's another for our own elected officials to tell us as much. You recall Rep. Mike Coffman grumped on the KOA […]
Yesterday marked the second anniversary of the mass shooting at the Century Theater in Aurora, in which 12 people were killed and some 70 injured after a gunman burst into the theater and began shooting indiscriminately. Since that time, the debate over gun policy has raged in Colorado and across the nation, with both sides […]
FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports, time to break out the hip waders in the marquee CD-6 race: Congressman Mike Coffman’s campaign is claiming momentum after winning the June fundraising period over Democratic challenger Andrew Romanoff in one of the most competitive House races of the 2014 cycle. Coffman’s campaign brought in $405,000 between June 5 […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Denver Post reporter Kurtis Lee did a good job over the weekend of sorting out the past immigration positions of Rep. Mike Coffman and his Democratic challenger, Andrew Romanoff. Lee noted that Romanoff pushed compromise immigration legislation through the Colorado legislature in 2006, in order to deflect a more extreme immigration […]
So-called "web ads" running longer than the usual 30 seconds are often released by candidates with no paid exposure, in the hope that they'll be picked up by blogs and spread by individuals on social media. "Viral" spread of compelling content is a frequent goal of online campaign organizers, but rarely achieved. Qualitatively, this web […]
A press release from veteran's advocacy group VoteVets.org announces a new ad buy in Colorado, hitting vulnerable incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman on an issue often counted as one of Coffman's strengths: support for soldiers and their families. VoteVets.org Action Fund, representing over 400,000 veterans, military families, and civilian supporters, is announcing over $600,000 in television ad buys, highlighting […]
(Ridiculous – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last month, Univision Denver's news show requested an interview with Republican Mike Coffman to get his reaction to Democrat Andrew Romanoff's accusation that Coffman's immigration policies reflect those of former Congressman Tom Tancredo. Coffman sent his spokesman, Tyler Sandberg, to talk to Univision, and here's an excerpt from the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s hard to miss this warning sign posted by the door as you enter the district office of Rep. Mike Coffman on South Parker Road. “The use of video recording devices, still cameras or digital recorders are NOT permitted inside the office.” You’d think this sign would insult reporters who stand […]
An hilarious animated .GIF clip forwarded to us of Rep. Mike Coffman at Denver International Airport last Thursday: According to the source of this clip, Rep. Coffman was standing nonchalantly at his gate when the impulse grabbed him to drop and start doing…folks, would you actually call those pushups? There appears to be some debate on […]
In responding to media reports, led by the Aurora Sentinel, that he voted against funds to reduce delays at Veterans Administration hospitals, Rep. Mike Coffman told reporters in a statement that he opposed the legislation because it cut cost-of-living increases for some military retirees. But as Fox 31 Denver's Eli Stokols pointed out, Coffman didn't mention anything about […]
On Friday we discussed an odd bit of trivia related to Mike and Cynthia Coffman; while Congressman Mike can vote for Cynthia in the race for Attorney General, Cynthia cannot vote for Mike because she doesn't live in his Congressional District. The original story from Kurtis Lee of the Denver Post included an explanation (of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Fox 31 Denver's Eli Stokols reported yesterday that Rep. Mike Coffman has launched a web ad attcking his Democratic opponent, Andrew Romanoff, for supporting tough immigration legislation in 2006. But Stokols omitted the fact that Romanoff's compromise legislation came in response to a hard-line immigration ballot initiative that was endorsed by […]
Kurtis Lee of the Denver Post has a fascinatingly odd story about Rep. Mike Coffman and his wife, Cynthia Coffman: U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman is in the battle of his political career this November where every vote matters but one vote he won’t receive — at least as of now — comes from one of his […]
Republican Rep. Mike Coffman is one of many Members of Congress to call for the resignation of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki as part of the ongoing scandal surrounding care at VA Hospitals around the country. But as Aaron Cole reports in the Aurora Sentinel, Coffman's voting record doesn't exactly match his rhetoric: Aurora U.S. […]
As the Denver Post's Kurtis Lee reports, 2012 GOP presidential loser Mitt Romney is endorsing another Colorado Republican–after giving his blessing to Bob Beauprez last week, Romney lends his affections to embattled Rep. Mike Coffman: “I am proud to endorse Mike Coffman for Congress. Mike has proven himself to be a voice of common sense for Colorado. […]
