UPDATE: From the Sacramento Bee: Bracamontes was next arrested May 4, 2001, on marijuana charges in Maricopa County, and deported three days later. Republican George W. Bush was president at the time, and was president when Bracamontes slipped back into the United States a short time later. The date of his re-entry is not clear, […]
There a growing consensus now with just a few days of voting left in the 2018 elections that Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jared Polis will win his race. Polling in this race has been remarkably consistent showing an upper-single digit lead for Polis enduring throughout the season, and surviving all the frightful negatives thrown at him […]
Democrat Jared Polis has consistently polled ahead of Republican Walker Stapleton in the race for Governor, and two new polls indicate much of the same. Republican-leaning outfit Magellan Strategies shows Polis with a 5-point lead over Stapleton. This is a slight change from a Magellan poll conducted two weeks ago, but the difference is well […]
UPDATE: Colorado Democrats go point-by-point to rebut George Brauchler: Mr. Brauchler’s Lie: “I was not the primary defense attorney for Koontz” Court Documents: Public court documents reveal that in fact, Mr. Brauchler was the only defense attorney to submit a formal“entry of appearance” to the Court in this case, and that his printed name and Colorado bar number […]

Responding to news this week that President Donald Trump would like to use an executive order to rescind the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of citizenship to persons born on American soil–which he can’t actually do–Rep. Mike Coffman, facing increasingly likely defeat next Tuesday, responded in a way that sounded fairly critical: I hate to break the […]
Republican gubernatorial nominee Walker Stapleton penned an opinion piece for Fox News this week about his great big battle against “socialism” in Colorado. The entire column consists of 558 words of Trumpian talking points, but it does illustrate something of moderate interest… This is the real Walker Stapleton. It is difficult to find someone in […]
As Westword reports today, the oil and gas industry is spending a positively obscene amount of money on the 2018 election in Colorado: More than one in five dollars donated to all campaigns and political groups in state races in 2018 has been a direct contribution from a fossil fuel corporation. [Pols emphasis] And that sum does […]
Denverite’s Esteban Hernandez updates a story we’ve been following for a couple of weeks now since it originally appeared in the Denver Post–Republican Secretary of State Wayne Williams’ purchase of expensive Western clothing on his office’s taxpayer-funded discretionary spending account is now the subject of a complaint pending before the state Independent Ethics Commssion: Secretary […]
President Trump has managed to transform Washington D.C. into an even stranger place than it once was. Many of the words that come out of his mouth are outright terrifying and/or completely devoid of any factual basis. Many of his actions are what we’ll charitably call “questionable.” The pot that Trump stirs can often force […]
In the aftermath of Saturday’s deadly attack on a Jewish synagogue in Pittsburgh, capping a week of political violence that included a racially motivated shooting in Kentucky and pipe bombs mailed by a pro-Trump Floridian to numerous Democratic leaders and other critics of President Donald Trump, NBC News reported on an underlying spike in social […]

We’re one week away from the BIG poll. This is a question we’ve been posing to Colorado Pols readers for months: Who do you THINK is going to win the race for Governor? Remember, we’re looking for your best educated guess on the outcome of this race, not who you support or who you would prefer […]
Last week we told you a bit about Brian Watson, the Republican candidate for State Treasurer who has a very checkered history with unpaid taxes and angry business partners. Watson is the owner and operator of Northstar Commercial Partners, and he has said publicly that he will continue that job even if elected Treasurer in November. […]
UPDATE: An important clarification in order via Colorado Democrats on the specific type of work Phil Weiser performed in the case for which Republicans are castigating him–not nearly as direct as George Brauchler’s personal role in getting an accused rapist at CSU off with a slap on the wrist: In 2005, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals […]
FOX 31 reports and it’s worth the briefest of mentions: Denver Broncos general manager John Elway has donated more than $65,000 to support Colorado Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton and other conservative campaigns in the state… Elway was an early supporter Stapleton and is no stranger to politics. Last year, Elway wrote a letter to […]

Miami Herald: The Miami Herald has learned that the suspect who has been arrested is a man in his 50s from Aventura. He is being questioned by FBI agents with the Joint Terrorism Task Force since his arrest this morning at about 10 a.m… Live shots from a Local 10 news helicopter show federal agents […]
As photographed above from yesterday’s awards luncheon for the right-wing Colorado Civil Justice League, the lobby group set up to make it as difficult as possible for little people (that’s most of you) to exercise their legal rights. On the right is GOP Sen. Beth Martinez Humenik, the #1 target in the Colorado Senate for Democrats […]
Colorado Democrats land a punch with a new ad up today: After the Denver Post’s scandalous report last week detailing big personal purchases by Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams on his office discretionary account, including a $700 pair of boots and a $475 cowboy hat, we’ve been waiting for Democrats to jump on […]

The Denver Post’s Anna Staver reports from yesterday’s Bernie Sanders GOTV rally at CU Boulder, where reportedly Republicans with cameras were everywhere hoping to catch some item of embarrassment value to Democrats, from the candidates down to the level of individual rallygoers: A top staffer for Colorado gubernatorial candidate Jared Polis got into a confrontation […]
Republican Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) and Democrat Jason Crow sat down with 9News political people Kyle Clark and Marshall Zelinger on Tuesday for the final debate of the CO-6 race. You can watch the full 30-minute debate here, or you can read all about it below. Since this could very well be Coffman’s final debate as an incumbent […]
We’ve seen a lot of ridiculous and untruthful political advertisements in this election cycle. Heck, we see a lot of awful political advertisements in every election cycle. But as bad as political ads can get, we (thankfully) rarely find something that makes us physically recoil at first sight. And then there is this new mail piece […]
(This is a must-read – Promoted by Colorado Pols) We’ve known George Brauchler for six years. We spent nearly every day together in the courtroom for five agonizing months while he tried our daughter’s killer. But in the race for Colorado’s next Attorney General, we cannot support his candidacy. We came to know George during […]
