(Oops – Promoted by Colorado Pols) GOP operative Tyler Sandberg took a Twitter shot at State Sen.Tim Neville (R-Littleton) last month, just after Neville lost his bid to take on Michael Bennet in this fall’s Colorado Senate race.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The local response to Trump’s big win last night should catch the attention of journalists now, with Colorado Republicans coming to grips with Trump as the presumptive GOP nominee. On the pro-Trump side, as I’ve blogged many times, there’s apparently only one elected official in the state of Colorado who’s actually […]
The fat lady appears to have sung in the Republican presidential race. Politico: Ted Cruz is quitting the presidential race, according to campaign manager Jeff Roe, ending one of the best-organized campaigns of 2016 after a series of stinging defeats left Donald Trump as the only candidate capable of clinching the nomination outright. Cruz had appeared […]

We have a long tradition at Colorado Pols of examining “Winners and Losers” from key fundraising periods, and the Q1 reports that were due on April 15th represent probably the most important three-month period since Colorado moved its Primary election to June prior to the 2014 election cycle. The first (and last) full quarterly fundraising […]
Over the past few days, the issue of Colorado Republican candidates for office relying heavily on their service records and using photos of themselves in uniform in campaign materials has heated up considerably.

When El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn concluded his remarks at the Colorado Republican State Convention on Saturday, delegates began murmuring among themselves about “The Speech.” The whispers seemed prescient. Glenn’s convention speech helped catapult him to the top of the Republican field running for U.S. Senate, and by capturing 68% of the total delegate […]
With all the attention this big political week focused on the weekend’s GOP state assembly in Colorado Springs and the chaotic Republican presidential primary, we’d be remiss if we didn’t take note of a much less-discussed but certainly newsworthy anticlimax from the Democratic CD-6 assembly. As the Aurora Sentinel reports: Sen. Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, received […]
With GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz solidly in control of Colorado’s slate of delegates to the Republican National Convention in July, it’s worth taking a look at exactly who constitutes Cruz’s “Colorado Leadership Team.” At least as of today, Team Cruz Colorado is a list noteworthy for its omissions as much as its inclusions: U.S. Rep.

(As bad as it sounds – Promoted by Colorado Pols) On a voice vote late yesterday, the Colorado Senate rejected an amendment, sponsored by Sen. Tim Neville (R-Littleton) and Laura Woods (R-Westminster) that would have deleted funding for a state-run program credited with decreasing the teen pregnancies and abortions by over 35 percent. It was […]
Well-known political pundit Larry J. Sabato has updated his regular “Crystal Ball” forecast of U.S. Senate and Gubernatorial races throughout the country, and there’s a significant change in Colorado. From the Center for Politics: Colorado: Coming into the 2016 cycle, it was pretty clear that the Republicans would largely be on the defensive. Only two Democratic-held seats stood […]

UPDATE: Dave Perry of the Aurora Sentinel tears into Bill Cadman: Cadman’s polemic dia-Trump stems from an argument over Colorado’s constitutional tax provision that requires voters to approve tax increases. There is no tax increase at issue here. The problem is the so-called Taxpayer Bill of Rights creates an arbitrary and convoluted budget baseline. If tax […]

According to a new poll, The Hill reports, the decision by U.S. Senate Republicans led by Mitch McConnell to stonewall any Supreme Court nominee from President Barack Obama is shaping up to be a huge election-year mistake: More than three-fourths of Americans say Senate Republicans are “playing politics” by refusing to take up President Obama’s […]
