(Promoted by Colorado Pols) During a raucous town hall meeting Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) backed off a pledge of support for the Dream Act, which he co-sponsored just last year. Asked by an audience member if he supports a “clean Dream Act,” which would grant a path to citizenship to undocumented immigrants who […]
Conservative-leaning Real Clear Politics writes about the changing political landscape on guns heading into the 2018 midterm elections as the body count from recent mass shootings continues to grow–with no signs of solutions from Republicans in full control of the federal government: Democrats have renewed their calls for tighter gun control measures in the wake […]
At the end of January, Democratic CD-6 candidate Jason Crow made waves in the perennial pitched battle against incumbent GOP Rep. Mike Coffman after outraising Coffman in the last quarter of 2017–a solid performance in marked contrast to Coffman posting his worst quarterly number since 2011. And as Vox reported last week, the headwinds Coffman […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican Congressman Mike Coffman grabbed headlines back in September for promising to try to force Republican leaders in the U.S. House to vote on his bill, called the BRIDGE Act, allowing Dreamers to remain in the U.S. for two more years, while Congress works out a permanent solution. But just three days later, […]
Ernest Luning of the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman updates the story of Attorney General Cynthia Coffman’s struggling gubernatorial campaign, as the slow realization that Coffman lacks the resources to mount a successful petition drive to make the primary ballot sets in: Attorney General Cynthia Coffman is gathering petition signatures in hopes of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) During a KNUS radio interview Saturday, Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman implied that ColoradoPolitics reporter Joey Bunch is writing unflattering articles about her gubernatorial campaign at the behest of Republican mega-donor Phil Anschutz, who owns ColoradoPolitics and the Colorado Springs Gazette through Clarity Media. KNUS 710-AM HOST CRAIG SILVERMAN: [at 12 minutes] I […]
A story in the former Colorado Statesman from last Friday stirred up quite a bit of “concern trolling” in Republican circles about the ongoing viability of Attorney General Cynthia Coffman’s gubernatorial campaign. Some are calling Ernest Luning’s story a “Phil Anschutz hit piece,” but the point being made is in our view undeniable: Colorado Attorney […]
Congressman Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) responded today to the controversial public release of the Nunes memo with a statement that seems to forget what Mike Coffman said himself about a year ago. First, today’s Tweet: As one of the first Members of Congress to call for an independent counsel, I’ve always been about accountability and full transparency and […]
A little over a year ago, ProgressNow Colorado members took action along with criminal justice reform advocates and concerned Denver residents to fight for the freedom of a man who spent nearly 30 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. With your help, Clarence Moses-EL walked free. But it’s not over. Clarence Moses-EL […]
CBS4’s Melissa Garcia reports on a decision by Attorney General Cynthia Coffman that embroils her in a thorny prosecutorial ethics issue at a time when that may or may not help her politically in her bid for the GOP gubernatorial nomination: Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman announced late Friday her decision to oppose awarding nearly […]
Congressman Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) will report his weakest fundraising quarter in six years when federal campaign finance numbers for Q4 (2017) become public next week. As Ernest Luning writes for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman: Democrat Jason Crow outraised Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman in the most recent fundraising quarter, but the five-term incumbent outspent […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: 9NEWS gives the world a much higher quality animated .GIF to commemorate the moment: via GIPHY And for the record: Coffman happily stood by what she said when reached for comment by 9NEWS. “My team won. So yeah, I was excited about that,” Coffman said. “I embrace having a Republican President whether I […]
UPDATE: Noting for the record, the brief filed by Jane Norton’s attorneys specifically refer to Cynthia Coffman’s opinion that Planned Parenthood should be defunded: Based on these facts and circumstances, the Accounting Firm’s audit, and the legal opinion of CDPHE’s then-legal counsel, 3 Petitioner, in her capacity as executive director of CDPHE, determined that State […]
CNN reports as Day 2 of the 2018 federal government shutdown gets underway with no signs of progress: Day one of the government shutdown ended with recriminations between the parties deepening and no sign of progress towards ending the impasse. The White House, Republican and Democratic leaders spent most of Saturday apportioning blame and flexing […]
This is…strange, but par for the course for Cynthia “Wait, What?” Coffman: INBOX: Cynthia Coffman says she will petition onto the GOP primary ballot in the Colorado governor’s race. #copolitics — Jesse Aaron Paul (@JesseAPaul) January 17, 2018 This is the part where we tell you that Coffman has just $85,000 in her campaign bank […]
A story from Buzzfeed News late yesterday is raising eyebrows in Colorado after some fascinating quotes from Rep. Mike Coffman on the matter of campaigning with President Donald Trump this year–would it help Coffman? Would it hurt him? “Each district is different, and probably in mine it probably wouldn’t be helpful,” Colorado Republican Rep. Mike […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In an appearance on KNUS 710-AM’s Jimmy Sengenberger Show Saturday, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman said recent U.S. economic growth came “in anticipation of tax cuts,” and without passage of the Republican tax bill, “the market would have tanked” and the U.S economy “wouldn’t be at 3.2 percent growth.” Coffman delivered these […]
Some politicians are just naturally good at saying the right thing at the right time. Others have honed this skill over many years on the campaign trail. And then there’s Cynthia “Wait, What?” Coffman. When it comes to making awkward statements that seem to make little strategic political sense — “I didn’t blackmail anybody” is a […]
Having climbed the ladder of elected office from the state legislature in the early 1990s, through two constitutional state offices as Treasurer and Secretary of State, and finally as a representative in Congress for going on ten years, Rep. Mike Coffman’s story is one of political survival that few others in politics anywhere in America […]
Republican gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Coffman told Peter Jones of the South Metro Villager last month that she backs abortion rights. Jones reported: Coffman is likewise supportive of abortion rights. “I want abortion to be rare. I want it to be safe, and I want us to be doing things as a society that diminish the need […]
We know what you’re going to say: You’ve heard it all before. Politicos from both sides of the aisle have been predicting doom for incumbent Republican Rep. Mike Coffman since re-districting changed the makeup of CD-6 after the 2010 Census, yet Coffman has endured. Here at Colorado Pols, we’ve certainly been guilty of erroneously anticipating […]
Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman is seeking the Republican nomination for Governor in 2018, and as we’ve discussed before in this space, she has thus far proven to be a remarkably-terrible candidate. After more than a year of hinting at the possibility of a run for Governor, Coffman finally announced her campaign the day after the […]
One of the loudest complaints over the GOP tax bill from opponents didn’t directly concern the provisions in the bill itself, but what the resulting massive losses in revenue from the tax cuts would mean down the road for essential programs like Social Security and Medicare–intentionally left untouched by Republicans this year as universally-acknowledged political […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) has traveled his usual winding road on supporting Obamacare-repeal bills this year, even doing his usual U turn along the way. And today, with the House set to vote on a tax bill that would repeal Obamacare’s individual mandate and throw 13 million people off the health […]
A carefully-staged photo from Rep. Mike Coffman yesterday could have you believing he might possibly be something other than a “hard yes” on the final version of GOP tax cut legislation released by the conference committee between the U.S. House and Senate late last week: Rep. Coffman reviewing #HR1 this afternoon. If you haven’t yet, […]
