The news yesterday from the Congressional Budget Office that the much-anticipated Republican repeal/replacement legislation for the 2010 Affordable Care Act would leave 24 million Americans uninsured by 2026 has rocked the debate over former President Barack Obama’s signature health reform law. We haven’t seen much in the way of response to the CBO’s damning analysis from […]
(Coffman commits to “Trumpcare” – Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE #2: Rep. Diana DeGette weighs in strongly on the CBO’s new analysis: “The truth is now plain for all to see: This Trumpcare bill will take a terrible toll, both in human and financial terms,” DeGette said. “It will deprive 14 million people of […]
Republicans will have to pass a healthcare bill in order to find out what it says.

(Mike Coffman flip-flops once again – Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Coffman responded to Joey Bunch: Coffman: “My comment was referring to legislation where I could see that between 2013 and until recently, nothing was getting done in D.C., and that it would be better for the American people to hold the majority party in […]
(Note that this was BEFORE Coffman said he would not vote for repeal without a replacement – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Rep.

We wrote last Friday about Rep. Mike Coffman’s so-called “listening tour,” underway this week to gain insight on the effects of the Affordable Care Act in Colorado ahead of upcoming votes to repeal President Barack Obama’s signature health reform law. Coffman’s “listening tour” stood in contrast, among many other contradictions, to an ad campaign running […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last week, the Trump Administration decided against offering the job of national security adviser to former CIA director David Petraeus, after the retired four-star general indicated he wanted to have authority over personnel. Patraeus was Rep. Mike Coffman’s (R-Aurora) favored candidate for Trump’s national security adviser–despite Patraeus’ resignation from the CIA as […]
With Congress about to head into a contentious recess and protests raging across the land over Republican plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Rep.

(Oh wait, you BELIEVED that?! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) One of the biggest national stories to originate in Denver this year was 9News’ piece about U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman’s (R-Aurora) early exit out the back door of a library full of people wanting to talk to him about Obamacare. A few days after the […]
Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman is up for re-election in 2018, but she is apparently taking a hard look at running for Governor instead.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The day after 9News broke the story about U.S. Rep.

By now you’ve no doubt heard some iteration of a quickly-growing story that large numbers of Coloradans are completely unable to reach any office of Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma). As the Durango Herald’s Jonathan Romeo reports, frustrated constituents don’t seem to have many options for reaching one of their most prominent elected officials, and they aren’t happy about it: All said Gardner has failed to respond […]
Congressman Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) is well-known for his ability to take multiple positions on a single issue, but Coffman may have outdone himself in a recent Q&A with 5280 magazine. Take a look at how Coffman responded to the following question: “Do you support keeping the ACA in place and improving upon it? If not, how will you […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) “I’m sorry but that mail box is full.” That’s what you get when you call the Washington DC line of U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), even though a recorded voice, apparently Gardner’s, tells you, “Please leave a message.” Gardner’s voicemail box has been full for days as citizens have focused on […]
UPDATE: As the Denver Post’s John Aguilar reports, it didn’t go any better for Mike Coffman at yesterday’s MLK Day event: U.S. Rep Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, ran into trouble with the audience when he stepped up to the microphone. As he began speaking, several people in the crowd began to heckle him with chants of […]
UPDATE (Sunday evening): Via Twitter, the campaign staff for Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) feed the fervor with exactly the wrong response.

Then they went here: (2/3) But the great majority of Americans want […]
Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora, who handily won re-election in part with a campaign to distance himself from his Donald Trump-like right-wing past, was interviewed by Colorado Public Radio’s Ryan Warner this week–and Warner is to be commended to forcing something like answers from Coffman about the crisis over Russian intervention in the recent election to help […]
Manu Raju at CNN reports on growing skepticism among Republicans about President-elect Donald Trump’s oft-repeated longshot vow to “build a wall on the southern border and make Mexico pay for it”–including Colorado’s leading on-again off-again Trump backer, Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora: President-elect Donald Trump is still insisting that Mexico will ultimately pay billions for […]
Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora is today one of the longest, if not the longest-serving elected politician in the state of Colorado.
