From the Associated Press: DENVER-Democrat Joe Miklosi of Denver says he’s made up his mind and will challenge Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman in the Denver suburbs next year. Miklosi has filed paperwork to run against the two-term incumbent. Miklosi currently lives in southeast Denver, not the 6th Congressional District. Miklosi, who has been mulling […]
That’s the word today from Lynn Bartels at the Denver newspaper’s blog, confirming a not-very-well-kept secret that Democratic state Rep. Joe Miklosi is weighing a challenge for Mike Coffman’s CD-6 seat. Rep. Miklosi is not yet term limited in his state house seat, so this isn’t a must-make decision for him at this point in […]
UPDATE: In case you weren’t completely sure about the extent to which Colorado’s freshman Rep. Cory Gardner had committed himself in support of the Paul Ryan 2012 budget plan, here’s his floor speech–with Gardner’s introduction from Rep. Ryan himself: No denying it now, is there? —– As the Washington Post reports: Anxiety is rising among […]
On Sunday, State Sen. Greg Brophy said the darndest things about congressional redistricting on Ross Kaminsky’s Backbone Radio, and Kaminsky, who will challenge his conservative guests sometimes, said not a word. So I emailed this note to Kaminsky: Hi Ross – I’m considering a blog post on Brophy’s appearance on your show, where he made […]
There’s a lot of misinformation today about the status of Rep. Mike Coffman’s residence, and how his district may be affected by redistricting maps from both parties that were made public for the first time yesterday. AP misreported, just as one example: U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman said Friday he was upset after Democrats drew up […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: Lynn Bartels of the Denver paper has a useful update on proposed changes to Mike Coffman’s district. As we noted above, none of the Democratic maps move Coffman’s registered Aurora home out of CD-6; both of Republican Dave Balmer’s would do this. On the matter of voter registration, the Democratic map proposals create […]
We’ve always believed in giving credit where credit is due, and we think there will be bipartisan praise for this budget amendment from GOP Rep. Mike Coffman—Air Force Times reports: After 31 years of symbolism, the time has come to end draft registration in the U.S., says Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo., a retired Marine Corps […]
It does not look like Rep. M. Coffman’s version of attack government workers has made the big time in Denver yet. His great idea to reduce the federal pay by a munificent $5.5B is to force every federal employee to take two weeks off each year without pay. Besides the inane idea, and it is […]
denver and the west Udall to Congress: United we should sit for Obama’s speech By Allison Sherry The Denver Post WASHINGTON – Sen. Mark Udall urged Republicans and Democrats to sit together in mixed company during the Jan. 25 State of the Union address in hopes of ending “an arrangement that has become a negative […]
Westword’s Jonathan Shikes reports: Colorado food banks have seen “a staggering increase in need,” the Denver Post reported this week, and 12.2 percent of households “were categorized as food insecure in 2009.” The answer, according to Republican U.S. Representative Mike Coffman: cut off food stamps. “The current food-stamp program is a contributor to childhood obesity, […]
(The CLEAR Act–which institutes both on- and offshore oil and gas reforms–passed narrowly today. Two Republicans voted yea, and 39 Democrats voted nay, including the congressman representing my district, John Salazar. – promoted by ClubTwitty) UPDATE: Rep. Salazar was one of 39 Dems voting against the CLEAR Act today. Perlmutter did not vote, DeGette, […]
In yet another sign that the apocalypse may soon be upon us, the GOP leadership has formed and officially registered “The Tea Party Caucus.” http://i306.photobucket.com/al… The founder and chair? Not a difficult guess — Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. http://www.tennessean.com/arti… and http://www.cleveland.com/natio… And, good news, as stated by Ms. Bachmann during yesterday’s press announcement — this will […]
I am so confused. On April 29, Congress voted on H.R. 2499: Puerto Rico Democracy Act of 2010. It’s to allow the people of Puerto Rico to make 2 votes. First they vote whether they like their current status with the U.S.A. Then, if the majority votes against their current status, they will vote whether […]
(zOMG! – promoted by Colorado Pols) I attended a town hall meeting that Representative Mike Coffman held last Saturday in Evergreen. I was impressed with the fact that this Republican whom I voted for in the last election is finally out talking to his constituents. I was further impressed when Mike Coffman let the audience […]
Republican Congressman Mike Coffman has done it again. This time he is spreading lies about health care reform in the Denver Post. http://www.denverpost.com/head… Compare his arguments with facts: http://www.whitehouse.gov/issu… Mike Coffman has consistently shown that he has no concern for working people and their very real struggles to care for their families.
(“Super Robot GOP Talking Point” Mike Coffman may not understand what he just said. – promoted by Colorado Pols) There’s no other way to read this story from Politics Daily and the Denver Post than to read it as Colorado Republican Rep. Mike Coffman admitting that government-sponsored single-payer health care “works”: Coffman, a former Marine […]
When Governor Bill Ritter signed a bipartisan bill last year to put the brakes on the Army’s use of eminent domain to steal ranch land from Coloradans and turn it into a mini-Afghanistan right in the middle of our square state, Mike Coffman fired off an official press release calling the governor a terrorist sympathizer. […]
For those of you out there who might consider calling yourselves patriotic, I have one question for you: Have you ever served in the military? If not, don’t even think of pretending like you give a shit about the U.S. of A. At least, not in Congressman Mike Coffman’s book. In his recent Phaseline-Written […]
There are a number of things wrong with Penry’s position on Pinyon Canyon and Coffman’s oped piece is one of them. Penry, HB 1317 shortchange America’s troops | Colorado Statesman. Has anyone at ColoradoPols actually read HB-1317? It might be worth your time. It doesn’t really say or do what Penry claims.
Last Thursday night, Colorado Reps. Mike Coffman and Doug Lamborn spent an hour on the floor of Congress logging their opposition to health reform legislation into the record. From said Congressional Record: The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the Speaker’s announced policy of January 6, 2009, the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. COFFMAN) is recognized for 60 […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) A constituant recently wrote to Mike Coffman asking him where he stood on healthcare reform and received this response. By the way healthcare wasn’t even a choice on his drop down menu. Dear Name Redacted: Thank you very much for contacting my office regarding healthcare. It was a pleasure […]
The reelection campaign for Governor Bill Ritter just sent a sharply-worded blast mail to supporters, asking them to contact Rep. Mike Coffman and tell him “to stop using taxpayer dollars to smear Governor Ritter.” We’re pretty sure this marks the first direct intervention by the Governor’s campaign so far, responding to Coffman’s remarks earlier this […]
(Rep. Coffman, feel free to respond and we’ll promote – promoted by Colorado Pols) In my campaign to win the Congressional seat in Colorado’s 6th District, I make three pledges; to run a respectful campaign based on the issues, to support the President’s agenda and to provide leadership with clear priorities. My priorities are security […]
Oh boy, as the Colorado Independent reports: U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman minced no words in a bizarre, Cheney-esque attack on Gov. Bill Ritter as a “terrorist sympathizer” for signing a new state law that stymies future expansion of the Army’s contentious Piñon Canyon training site proposal. The accusation of Ritter’s treason can be found in […]
( – promoted by redstateblues) RSB UPDATE: Colorado Independent reports: Coffman’s attorney, Doug Friednash, said the complaint was part of a “scorched-earth public relations campaign” to harass the Aurora Republican, who stepped down as secretary of state after winning election to Congress last fall. During hours of testimony before the commission last month, Coffman denied […]
