Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper seems virtually assured of attempting a run for President in 2020, though it’s much less obvious how such a campaign might actually succeed. As Joey Bunch reports today for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman: For months, Gov. John Hickenlooper has told reporters he’s too focused on being governor to think […]
(Post something yourself — Promoted by Colorado Pols) With all eyes on next week’s primary, there has been much focus on the Governor’s race. And rightfully so. But we can’t forget about the other races on the ballot. And none are more important at this time in our country’s fragile history than Attorney General. I […]

In the rush of coverage of officials on all sides visiting the southern border to investigate the family separations by federal immigration agents that have dominated the headlines for over a month now, we’d be remiss if we didn’t give a nod to Colorado House Speaker Crisanta Duran–who arrived in Texas with her message to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) How could little old you possibly make a big-ass political candidate comply with Colorado’s campaign finance and disclosure laws? In a blog post last week, I showed you, step-by-step, how simple it is to file a complaint under new rules announced Tuesday by Colorado Secretary of State (SOS) Wayne Williams. On […]
CBS4 Denver: Thousands of children taken from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border are in detention centers, days after President Donald Trump reversed his “zero-tolerance” policy. On Saturday, Colorado Congressman Mike Coffman traveled to the Texas border and toured one of the facilities. He spoke with children being held there. Coffman says we must find […]
An editorial published in the Phil Anschutz-owned Colorado Springs Gazette yesterday mounts a surprisingly bitter and sweeping attack on the Southern Poverty Law Center, who readers may know agreed to a significant settlement this week to a person accused of supporting anti-Muslim hate, later stating that accusation was in error. For the Gazette, this settlement […]

As the Glenwood Springs Post-Independent reports, the Trump administration’s self-inflicted debacle over child separations along the southern border is tripping up GOP Rep. Scott Tipton of Cortez–who is quickly emerging as a “reach goal” target for Democrats in the upcoming elections: Two Democratic challengers who are seeking to replace Colorado’s 3rd District U.S. Rep. Scott […]
UPDATE: A statement from faith leaders of the Colorado Governor’s Clergy Council slams the use of Christian liturgy to justify family separations: Also Thursday, the Colorado Governor’s Clergy Council—comprised of 25 religious leaders in the state—issued a statement calling for further action from Congress to address the separation issue and for other state faith leaders […]
Walker Stapleton will almost certainly be the Republican nominee for Governor. This is almost certainly not great news for Colorado Republicans. We’re just days away from the June 26 Primary, and the overwhelming favorite for the GOP gubernatorial nomination is running a campaign that has Republican observers positively terrified. “I’m starting to worry that Bill […]
Denver7’s Blair Miller reports: Though the city had reportedly been one of the finalists to host the 2020 Democratic National Convention, the group that submitted the bid for Denver has withdrawn from consideration because of a scheduling conflict. Amber Miller, a spokesperson for the Denver mayor’s office, confirmed the bid had been withdrawn and said […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams issued temporary rules yesterday explaining how to file complaints about possible violations of Colorado’s campaign finance and disclosure laws. Williams’ new procedures won’t scare off citizens from filing complaints, because the required form is straight-forward, logical, and easy to file. To help you get a […]
Residents of Fountain, Colorado are being told that they can once again use groundwater that was contaminated by firefighting chemicals two years ago, though the safety of the water from the Widefield Aquifer is still under debate. Congressman Doug Lamborn’s office was promoting a “Safe Drinking Water Ceremony” on Wednesday to mark this event, and we […]
9NEWS political reporters Kyle Clark and Brandon Rittiman have been in rare form over the past few weeks, positively demolishing a persistent false claim from GOP gubernatorial frontrunner Walker Stapleton that he was the “only” state Treasurer to support the Trump tax cut bill. Stapleton’s obstinate refusal to make the simple edit required to correct […]
UPDATE: As Aaron Blake summarizes for the Washington Post: The Trump administration insisted it didn’t have a policy of separating children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. It said that it was merely following the law. And it said “Congress alone can fix” the mess. It just admitted that all that was nonsense — and that […]
A press release from the dean of Colorado’s congressional delegation, Rep. Diana DeGette, calls for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to either resign or be terminated from her position over the unfolding crisis of family separations on the southern border: Secretary Nielsen falsely blamed Democrats for the humanitarian crisis at a Monday press briefing […]
According to a new…Facebook poll, or something, Victor Mitchell is totally winning the Republican race for Governor. This “poll” is apparently similar to a “Western Journal Poll” recently conduced in South Carolina that appears to be some sort of online survey of Republicans on Facebook. We doubt this “poll” has any sort of relation to […]
Congressman Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) and his staff are apparently quite sensitive about President Trump’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy that has led to the forced separation of thousands of children from the families at the US-Mexico border and generally created a massive problem for Republicans everywhere. While Coffman has been working diligently to take all sides on this debate, his […]
With the crisis over President Donald Trump’s new policy to separate undocumented children from their parents at the border and house the children in internment-camp like facilities dominating the headlines, last night Republican candidates for governor of Colorado held their final debate before next Tuesday’s primary election. The issue of family separations naturally came up, […]
Congressional Republicans have been flailing around in the last few days trying to both express concern over the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy while also making sure to avoid proposing any sort of actual change to enforcement efforts that are separating thousands of children from their families (well, except for Rep. Ken Buck, anyway). Democrats, […]
