FOX 31’s Joe St. George has been doing a good job this year with a series of “Truth Check” fact-checks (everybody’s got their brand) on political ads running in Colorado. St. George’s latest effort last night takes a critical look at an ad running against Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton criticizing his attendance record at the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After months of silence, Colorado Treasurer and Republican candidate for governor Walker Stapleton is finally trying to address the news coverage of his family’s racist Klan legacy. This week Stapleton appeared on KNUS radio’s afternoon talk show, hosted by his friend Stephan Tubbs. The casual interview was a perfect venue to deliver […]

Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) likes to think of himself as one of the Senate’s foremost experts on foreign policy related to North Korea. In reality, the White House tends to ignore Gardner (who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee) and whatever it is he has to say about the DPRK and its cherubic […]
The Denver Post’s Ben Botkin reports on the other ballot measure to qualify yesterday for a vote in November in addition to a payday loan interest rate cap–formerly known as Initiative 108, now Amendment 74, which would dramatically alter the relationship between just about any kind of land use interest and local government: Initiative 108 […]

We talk a lot about Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton in this space. In fact, Stapleton was the subject of our first blog post today after his flabbergastingly-disastrous interview with CBS4 last night. It makes perfect sense that we would regularly discuss the GOP nominee for the top job in Colorado — after all, this […]
Yesterday afternoon, rumors circulated that Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton would finally address what’s emerged as a significant problem for his campaign. Stapleton’s dubious claim to a a “fourth generation Coloradan” rests on the legacy of his great-grandfather and former Denver Mayor Benjamin Stapleton, who rose to power with the support of the then-powerful Ku […]
A press release from Coloradans to Stop Predatory Payday Loans announces their success reaching the ballot this year with Proposition 111, a measure to cap interest rates on so-called “payday loans” that have been the source of much vexation in Colorado politics in recent years: The Secretary of State today confirmed that the Campaign to […]
A new television ad is up on the air today from a group called “Good Jobs Colorado” targeting Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton over his persistent refusal to actually do his job as State Treasurer: Stapleton’s lax attendance record at PERA Board meetings has been well-documented for several years now. Stapleton’s general indifference about the job he was […]
Conservation Colorado announced today that it has hired well-known Democratic strategist Kelly Nordini as its new Executive Director. Conservation Colorado has been operating without an official ED since Pete Maysmith left last September for a position with the League of Conservation Voters. According to a press release from Conservation Colorado: After conducting a nationwide search, Conservation […]
Democrat Jason Crow released his first General Election ad today in his bid to unseat Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) in CO-6. Take a gander: Now, let’s go back in time to August 4, 2014 and the first General Election television ad from Democratic candidate Andrew Romanoff, which featured the former Colorado Speaker of the House walking in an […]
Bloomberg joining numerous outlets in reporting on the recent souring of relations between North Korea and the United States, despite President Donald Trump’s determined effort to cast his erratic diplomacy in the best possible light: The U.S. doesn’t plan to suspend more joint military drills with South Korean forces, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said, as […]
(Sen. Cory Gardner and President Trump are best buds these days — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Senator Cory Gardner blasted out an urgent fundraising appeal over the weekend, stating: Gardner: Your contribution is vital to the future of President Trump’s America First agenda. With your support, we will strengthen our Senate Majority. Will you […]
As NBC News reports, President Trump got the message — after much chastising from other Republicans — that he should do more to acknowledge the late Senator John McCain (R-Arizona): Following blistering criticism from lawmakers in both parties and veterans groups, President Donald Trump announced Monday he had signed a formal proclamation that would give Sen. […]
It’s time again for our regular Colorado Pols reader poll of the Governor’s race. Remember: We want to know who you think will be the winner in this race, not who you support or who you would prefer to see emerge victorious. The point of this exercise is to track how perceptions of the race are (or […]

UPDATE: Aaaand…deleted! —– At the top of Cathy Garcia, Sen. Cory Gardner’s Pueblo Regional Director’s Facebook page now: Not much additional commentary needed here! When it comes to religious freedom, not all “People of the Book” need apply. The only real question is, will Sen. Cory Gardner, jet-setting member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) But the Future Water Supply is Uncertain For the last 18 years the Colorado River Basin and the southwestern states supplied by the river have been dry. How dry? The Department of the Interior said in 2016, “the Basin has experienced its lowest 16-year period of inflow in over 100 years […]
CNN reports, an American statesman has passed on: Whenever America was in a fight during his long lifetime, John McCain was in the thick of it. McCain, who has died at the age of 81, was a naval bomber pilot, prisoner of war, conservative maverick, giant of the Senate, twice-defeated presidential candidate and an abrasive […]
Sometimes we get sent the strangest photos without context, and it’s necessary for us to figure out what the hell is going on. Yes, that’s GOP Senate President Kevin Grantham, and yes, it looks like a mug shot. In fact, it’s Grantham’s gag photo from a popular barbershop in Cañon City–perhaps the same place where […]

We’ve been talking for a couple of days now about some powerful dissent from 2018 GOP gubernatorial runner-up Victor Mitchell, who called for President Donald Trump to either resign or be impeached following the conviction of former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen’s plea deal directly implicating the President in federal crimes. The next day, […]
As Bloomberg News reports, two Senate Republicans are paving the way for President Trump to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions — but Trump has to wait until after the mid-term elections: Two key Republican senators signaled to President Donald Trump that he could replace Attorney General Jeff Sessions after the midterm elections in November, a move that […]
After yesterday’s remarkable video in which 2018 GOP gubernatorial runner-up Victor Mitchell called on President Donald Trump to resign, today Mitchell takes shots in Westword at the shady primary campaign run by Republican nominee Walker Stapleton–touching on the whopping lies Stapleton told during the primary and refused to correct as well as unresolved questions about […]
