Ricardo Lopez Jr. of the Pueblo Chieftain reports: On Thursday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of the Army finalized the Navigable Waters Protection Rule, which replaces the Waters of the United States Act approved by the Obama administration in 2015. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis immediately denounced the move, calling it a plan […]
CNN’s Manu Raju is the latest reporter in Washington to make a run at the nation’s most elusive U.S. Senator, Cory Gardner of Colorado–and in the few literal seconds they had together, Gardner actually revealed quite a bit about where he stands in the ongoing impeachment trial against President Donald Trump. That is, with Trump: […]
Politico reporter Connor O’Brien caught sight of a familiar face at the U.S. Capitol in Washington today: Coffman’s now the mayor of Aurora, CO. He took office last month. — Connor O’Brien (@connorobrienNH) January 23, 2020 We’re not sure if this is ex-Rep. now Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman’s first trip back to D.C. since his […]
Republican Judy Reyher, the unabashed racist who was briefly a state legislator in HD-47 until voters decided, “no, thanks,” has removed herself from consideration for a State House seat in 2020. We noted last November that Reyher and her technicolor dreamcoat were hoping to make a comeback in the state legislature, but that campaign was […]
As the Denver Post’s Saja Hindi reports: More than half of Colorado voters are in favor of the state creating a public insurance health option and nearly three-quarters support setting limits on prescription drug costs, according to a new survey by a progressive political group. Strategies 360, a political consulting firm, surveyed 600 registered voters […]
Rolling Stone’s Peter Wade reports while anyone paying attention picks their jaw up off the floor: President Trump said he’s happy with the way the impeachment trial is going thus far because his administration has not released “materials” that would hurt his cause. “When we released that conversation all hell broke out with the Democrats,” […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma), who sits dutifully behind President Trump’s legal team on the floor of the U.S. Senate, has been getting hammered in national news outlets for his blind obedience to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Team Trump despite an oath to be an “impartial juror” in the President’s impeachment trial. Colorado Rep. […]
As multiple news outlets have reported, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is widely expected to follow along with the wishes of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Trump’s scurrilous legal team on all issues related to Trump’s impeachment trial underway in the U.S. Senate. Lest there be any doubt, check out where Gardner has been […]
Keeping track of the bad national press for Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado these days requires a lot of attention–hard on the heels of a damaging New York Times story about Gardner’s lack of accessibility to constituents back home over the holiday weekend, the Washington Post’s Griff Witte writes today: [Sen. Cory] Gardner is perhaps […]
As Politico reports, there are some significant happenings already as the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump gets underway: Senate Republicans backed down from an aggressive timetable and new restrictions on evidence in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, changing course after protests from senators like Republican Susan Collins of Maine. Instead of crammingas many as […]
Yesterday, former Democratic minor presidential candidate Marianne Williamson offered her glowing endorsement to Andrew Romanoff, who is running an underdog primary bid against the generally presumed Democratic nominee in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race former Gov. John Hickenlooper. Romanoff responded later yesterday evening that he is “deeply grateful” for Williamson’s support. Marianne Williamson was generally regarded […]
Over the weekend, the New York Times published a long, comprehensive story about the curious inaccessibility and general invisibility of Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma). They keep expecting to see Senator Cory Gardner everywhere — on the local Fox affiliates in Colorado, on Facebook, on literature crammed inside their mailboxes. They are voters who wear […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) This article, which originally appeared in the Colorado Times Recorder, was written by Jake Maher. As the impeachment trial begins in the Senate today, the scrutiny on Colorado’s Cory Gardner grows. Speculation has filled a vacuum left by the Republican senator himself, who has made few statements to the press about […]
Friday evening, local right-wing subcultural institution Jon Caldara, director of the “libertarian” Independence Institute, announced that the Denver Post has pulled the plug on Caldara’s frequently controversial opinion column. Westword’s Michael Roberts reports: Jon Caldara, president of the libertarian Independence Institute think tank, has never pretended to be politically correct. And he says his disinterest […]
👀 Hick continues to be under fire in #COSEN Now his progressive primary opponent @Romanoff2020 is jumping in the fray https://t.co/SP6LyI9gm0 — Betsy Ankney (@betsyankney) January 18, 2020 NRSC Political Director Betsy Ankney celebrates Andrew Romanoff. As the Colorado Springs Gazette’s Ernest Luning reports: Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff wants the state to audit […]
After the failure of last year’s half-baked recall attempt against Gov. Jared Polis, which limped across the finish line with at most half the required number of signatures need even without factoring for error, one of the two groups nominally dedicated to the recall effort became a headline-making controversy after doling out thousands of dollars […]
We noted last summer that Weld County voters were in for a wild game of musical chairs in 2020. It looks like the fun is going to get started a bit earlier than anticipated. Term-limited Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway is resigning his position effective Jan. 31, which means a short-term replacement must be selected […]
Colorado Pols readers are well aware that Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) has taken extreme measures to avoid talking publicly about President Trump’s actions and the looming impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate. Gardner regularly flees from reporters at the U.S. Capitol building by ducking out back doors and sliding into little-used elevators; journalists in Colorado […]
UPDATE: The Denver Post’s Alex Burness: [Beckman] did not specify what her new job will be, nor did she immediately respond to a call from The Denver Post. The White House has not yet responded to a question about Beckman, and a spokesperson for the state GOP declined to comment… In late March, Beckman narrowly […]
We’re only 16 days into 2020 and #ERPO has already likely saved lives. Despite the misinformation being spread this week, this case shows that the law —and due process— are working.#CoPolitics #CoLeg https://t.co/G27jD04QLq — Alec Garnett (@AlecGarnett) January 16, 2020 —– As the Denver Post’s Elise Schmelzer reports: In the first 15 days Colorado’s red-flag […]
The Denver Post’s Linnea Lipson reports: Colorado may soon follow 20 other states in prohibiting hand-held phone use while driving. The proposed legislation would make it illegal for adults to use a mobile device while driving, except through the use of hands-free equipment. It also would bar drivers under 18 years old from using any […]

Politico with today’s major development in the impeachment case against President Donald Trump–a clear determination by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) that Trump’s withholding of hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Ukraine was in violation of federal law: President Donald Trump ordered the hold on the critical security assistance in July, a slew […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) was busy today firing off Tweets about trade agreements and speaking in front of an empty Senate chamber about the four corners of Colorado and…something. What Gardner was NOT doing today is the same thing has has NOT been doing for months: Commenting in any way, shape or form on […]
