Hot from Sen. Cory Gardner’s tour yesterday of EVRAZ Rocky Mountain Steel in Pueblo, another nonpublic scripted appearance for Gardner in lieu of the public town halls he’s avoided since 2017, comes this fabulously captionable image: And the next logical question: who wore it better? You decide.
(Honey Badger wants YOU – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler never shied from the spotlight while in office, but he’s kept a lower profile since returning to private practice. He recently made the news for his work on behalf of the long shot campaign to recall Gov. Jared Polis […]
Who is it gonna be? It’s time again that we asked Colorado Pols readers to predict the name of the eventual 2020 Democratic nominee for President. When last we asked, you were still rolling with California Sen. Kamala Harris as the most likely nominee. Mike Harden of the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman […]
Yesterday, the newly-minted “sole finalist” for the position of President of the University of Colorado, former GOP Rep. Mark Kennedy of Minnesota, began his tour of the CU system’s four campuses–a crucial opportunity for Kennedy to ingratiate himself with students and faculty, and address the many questions about Kennedy’s anti-LGBT, anti-reproductive choice record in Congress […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: The internet is forever, folks–as Constellation Political is learning belatedly: You’re welcome (see below). —– UPDATE: David O. Williams picks up the thread for RealVail.com: Eagle County is indeed a very blue county these days, with Sheriff James van Beek the only elected member of the GOP currently serving. Still, that clearly won’t […]
(Catch him if you can! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) plans to speak Wednesday at 1 p.m. at the Colorado Chamber of Commerce in Colorado Springs. Why’s that news? Because Gardner hasn’t held a public town hall meeting in over a year, instead meeting regularly with private groups, like the […]
Gov. Jared Polis Tweeted yesterday in support of victims of the bombings in Sri Lanka against Christians celebrating Easter Sunday: Heartbreaking to learn about the attacks on tourists and Easter worshippers in Sri Lanka. Colorado stands with the people of Sri Lanka during this very tragic day and we grieve for those affected by these […]
As you probably know from last week’s news coverage, Sen. Cory Gardner is very much ready to “move on” from the investigation into Russian support for Donald Trump in the 2016 elections, after the release this week of a redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report that supporters of the President desperately want America […]
A significant development for online political poo-flingers we wanted to be sure got a mention, part of a reckoning that has been occurring across the nation as the implications of effortless social media speech–and the equally effortless censorship thereof–are weighed against constitutional rights taken for granted in every other medium. As the Pueblo Chieftain’s Peter […]
Justin Wingerter of the Denver Post reports on some good news for Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Denver): U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet’s office said Friday that his surgery to remove prostate cancer was successful, seemingly clearing the way for a 2020 presidential run. “Last weekend, Michael underwent surgery and is recovering at his home in Colorado,” said […]
The Colorado Independent’s Robin Bravender reports on the big donations by the billionaire DeVos family of Michigan to Sen. Cory Gardner’s re-election campaign this year, a substantial piece of his $2 million Q1 that was heavily reliant on out-of-state money. In the case of the DeVoses, that money has a backstory: Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’s […]
UPDATE: Gov. Jared Polis weighs in, and while he doesn’t name Mark Kennedy specifically the message is clear: As the University of Colorado moves forward in its selection process for a new President, it's very important that they find a candidate that unites the board. It’s never good for a candidate or the institution if […]
There is a lot of news to discuss from today’s release of the Mueller Report, but one particular section is already jumping off the page: This sentiment was was apparently not confined to President Donald J. Trump himself.
It is, oddly, not unusual to see a story about a candidate for elected office who has apparently not bothered to regularly vote in prior elections. Just last year, a Republican candidate for Governor of Oklahoma struggled to explain why he himself hadn’t voted in a single Gubernatorial election since at least 1999. As John Ensslin reports […]
UPDATE #4: Rep. Diana DeGette’s statement is much more to the point: “The report released today paints a very different picture than what the president and attorney general had hoped the American people would see. And it’s now more important than ever that Congress be granted access to the full unredacted report immediately.” —– UPDATE […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: GOP Rep. Mark Baisley explains the GOP’s party-line opposition to House Bill 19-1312 in a lengthy post today–and it’s a worst-case scenario, invoking the most discredited of misinformation about vaccines: The stated goal of the bill is to reduce the occurrence of childhood diseases. Colorado averages approximately 90% current vaccinations for children under […]
As the Aurora Sentinel’s Kara Mason reports, a big show of support yesterday evening for Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, in a part of the state and Denver metro area that showcased its shift from red to blue in last year’s elections: [Warren] took to the stage at The Hangar at the Stanley Marketplace for an […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) What’s your best underworld source for unfiltered Trump-infused criticism of Colorado’s Republican Party? A radio show with an innocent name, the “Chuck and Julie Show,” but a pair of Republican hosts, Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden, who routinely throw fellow Republicans off the cliff as buzzards call the program to find […]
UPDATE: Moderator of the Recall Polis Facebook group sounds the all clear: It would appear that the faithful remain unconvinced. —– The news is breaking from multiple local outlets that an 18-year-old woman from Florida who was allegedly “obsessed” with the 1999 mass shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton and made credible threats of […]
The campaign for Democratic Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff announced fundraising numbers from Q1 late Tuesday evening. Take a look at Romanoff’s campaign press release, which we have printed in full below, and see if you notice something missing:
(Stay classy! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) State Sen. Owen Hill (R-Colorado Springs) criticized presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) on social media last week after she expressed concern for pregnant women who have miscarried while in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), questioning whether she has the “moral authority” to […]
Congresswoman Diana DeGette (D-Denver) is the “dean” of the Colorado Congressional delegation, a title she has earned by consistently winning re-election in what has long been a safe Democratic seat in CO-1. First elected to her Denver district in 1996, DeGette has been in the House of Representatives 10 years longer than her nearest contemporaries; both […]
Making sense of the competing interests within the Republican coalition, and the relationships between those interests as they relate to recall campaigns now being organized, isn’t easy. That’s been a deliberate objective after extremely negative press about the early organizers of both the Galindo recall and the longshot campaign to recall Gov. Jared Polis threw […]
The Democratic field for U.S. Senate in 2020 hasn’t quite reached into the same clown car numbers as the 2016 GOP Senate field, but we’re getting closer with every week. Two more Democrats entered the race for U.S. Senate on Tuesday — former U.S. Attorney John Walsh and former CO-7 candidate Dan Baer — which pushes […]
(No comment – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Colorado Republican Senate President Bill Cadman served as master of ceremonies at a gathering Thursday to celebrate the expansion to Denver of Colorado Politics, a weekly print and online political publication. “Why is [Colorado Politics] successful when many other media organizations are going by the wayside?” Cadman […]
