Media outlets are reporting that Rep. Mike Coffman has joined Rep. Cory Gardner in withdrawing his support of the personhood amendment, which would ban all abortion, but, strangely, reporters aren’t asking Coffman (or Gardner) the logical follow-up question: What is your position on abortion? Does Coffman still oppose abortion, even in the case of rape […]
UPDATE #2: Per Fox 31's Eli Stokols, Rep. Mike Coffman is now doing a Cory Gardner and kicking Personhood to the curb entirely — not just as a 2014 ballot measure. GOP Congressman Mike Coffman is no longer supporting personhood, his campaign confirmed Tuesday, making him the second Republican in the last five days to […]
We've marveled for months at the lengths that Rep. Mike Coffman and his staff have been going to try to re-write Coffman history, even as Coffman still maintains a staunch conservative position from his Congressional office. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to understand that Coffman needs to moderate his image in order to win […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Love him or hate him, Scott Gessler has brought an activist's style to his job as Secretary of State, while others in his position, including Republicans, have tried to stay out of the partisan fray. Ditto for Colorado Attorney General John Suthers. So going into November, when we'll be voting for […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: Hilarity from the Aurora Sentinel today in response to Coffman's "discovery." QUID HAS HEARD that Aurora’s own congressman Mike Coffman discovered Aurora’s large Ethiopian, Ghanaian, Eritrean, Sudanese and every other African countries’ immigrant population right here in Aurora and he’s eager to spread the good news. In a story written by the Associated […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Stealing a page from Congressman Ed Perlmutter's constituent services playbook, Congressman Mike Coffman faced Aurorans one-on-one in the public library a few blocks from his home this morning. About seventy-five constituents stood in line to speak with him, and each was given about five minutes alone, or with a small group. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE 3/9/24: Associated Press reporter Nick Riccardi sent me a couple tweets, offering additional information about his interview with Coffman referenced in the blog post below: Nick Riccardi: @BigMediaBlog FYI in his interview Coffman expressed hope that his military bill would be joined to a broader DREAM type bill. Jason Salzman: […]
Rep. Mike Coffman has become quite adept at taking multiple positions on specific issues, sometimes flip-flopping within less than 24 hours. As he faces his most difficult re-election challenge, against Democrat Andrew Romanoff, Coffman is trying hard to cut-and-paste over his own record, which his campaign must know is incredibly damaging. Coffman has been an […]
We've received word from several credible sources that none other than GOP uberstrategist Karl Rove was in Denver last Friday night, holding a fundraiser at Denver's historic Brown Palace Hotel for embattled GOP Rep. Mike Coffman. It's interesting, since we can't find any information about this event at all–even the national government transparency watchdog Sunlight Foundation has no […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It's amazing that Rep. Mike Coffman's call for the redeployment of troops in Iraq hasn't made news beyond this lowly blog, especially when you consider what's at stake, here at home. The annual cost to deploy troops in Iraq is roughly $1 million per troop, according to former White House Budget […]
(A third Iraq war. What a great idea! – promoted by Colorado Pols) To my way of thinking, Rep. Mike Coffman dropped a bombshell on KNUS' Dan Caplis show last month, when he said he "certainly" supports re-deployment of advisory troops in Iraq, if invited. Caplis listened as Coffman said America is "suffering the consequences" […]
A significant radio ad buy late last month from a group calling itself Concerned Veterans of America (web video version above) lavishes praise on GOP Rep. Mike Coffman for his vote against the budget compromise brokered by GOP Rep. Paul Ryan and Democratic Sen. Patty Murray. From CVA's press release: The 30-second ad—totaling $74,520 and airing […]
UPDATE: Correcting a previous version of this post, Andrew Romanoff narrowly outraised incumbent Mike Coffman in Q3 of 2013 as well. Here are some numbers that don't lie, as FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports today: With a fundraising haul of $458,943 last quarter, Romanoff notched another impressive win on the fundraising front in what’s shaping up to […]
As the Denver Post's Allison Sherry reports: Gauging from the response to last night’s State of the Union address among Colorado’s Republicans, you wouldn’t think Rep. Mike Coffman is amid a re-election battle in a dramatically changed, bluer district. [Pols emphasis] Coffman, R-Aurora, skewed sharply partisan after the president’s speech late Tuesday. In his canned statement, […]
Politico's Emily Schultheis reports on Rep. Mike Coffman's new adversary on his tough road to re-election in 2014. Hint: it's not his Democratic opponent, former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff. SNEAK PEEK—COFFMAN ROBODIALS: ‘BRING IT, PELOSI’: Colorado GOP Rep. Mike Coffman, who represents a key swing district in the Denver suburbs, has already been hit by Democratic […]
20,000 Coloradans are without a vital lifeline: http://bit.ly/1dQkO6i
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) One of the ways Rep. Mike Coffman has been trying to boost his appeal to Hispanic voters is by waving around his legislation offering a path to citizenship for young undocumented immigrants, if they enlist in the U.S. military. Coffman’s been talking a lot about his bill, which stipulates that, before […]
In a good article Monday, Denver Post reporters Joey Bunch and Carlos Illescas preview the upcoming battle between Rep. Mike Coffman and his Democratic challenger Andrew Romanoff. A chunk of the article was dedicated to comparing the candidates’ history and positions on immigration reform, which is certain to come up during the campaign, and a […]
Today's press release from liberal activist group Americans United for Change probably won't surprise you: It’s official: The Tea Party has taken over the Republican Party. Even those Republicans who represent moderate districts voted with the Tea Party 81 percent of the time in 2013, according “Tea Stained,” a groundbreaking new legislative scorecard compiled by […]
Today, ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest online progressive advocacy organization, celebrated Mike Coffman’s 25 years as a career politician with a cake to share with the Colorado Capitol press corps and local elected officials. “There is no politician in office today in the state of Colorado who has been on the public dole longer than […]
(Wait, what? – promoted by Colorado Pols) On a Denver radio show Friday, Rep. Mike Coffman affirmed his opposition to the withdrawal of U.S. troops in Iraq, adding that, even now, he'd deploy U.S. military personnel to Iraq, if they were invited, to serve in an advisory role. Asked by KNUS talk-show host Dan Caplis […]
Yes, our 2013 Top 10 List has extended well into 2014, but we've always believed that the year is never really over as long as the Broncos are still playing — Colorado Pols Colorado is home to 7 of the 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Of those seven, four seats (CD-1, CD-2, […]
(Reefer Madness, Mike Coffman style – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) delivered a major buzz kill on the radio Wednesday, saying he's worried that pot legalization might keep Fortune 500 companies out of Colorado and drive down the state economy. "I worry, 'What about that Fortune 500 corporation that wants to move […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I reported last week that Rep. Mike Coffman said on a radio show that America is in a "Constitutional crisis," because of Obama's "abusive interpretation of the Constitution." Sounds bad, even in the paranoid and crisis-filled world you find on conservative talk radio. When asked for a solution by KHOW host […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Mike Coffman announced Tues. that he may file a personal lawsuit against President Barack Obama over what Coffman sees as Obama's abuse of power. Speaking on KHOW radio's Mandy Connell show, Coffman said America is in a "Constitutional crisis" due to Obama's "abuse of waving the so-called magic wand of […]
