(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado state senate candidate Nancy Doty praised Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s speech in Colorado last week, calling it “just spot on” and “very, very good.” Doty made the comments to KNUS 710-AM’s Julie Hayden, who bumped into Doty at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver July 2. “I thought Sarah Palin […]
The United States is in a dark place at the moment: Rising gun violence. Mass shootings. Astonishingly vivid deaths of minorities at the hands of law enforcement officers. Targeted killings of police officers in Dallas. At the same time, we are in the midst of a Presidential campaign with a presumptive Republican nominee in Donald Trump who is often accused […]
Congratulations to Jefferson County Commissioner Libby Szabo…though we can’t even begin to try to explain the logic behind this decision. As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Statesman: The heavy presence of Coloradans on stage could draw attention to the perennial swing state, which was swept by Trump primary rival U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas when Republicans […]
This just in…according to a press release from the Congressional campaign of former state Senator Gail Schwartz: Gail Schwartz, candidate for Congress in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, continued to demonstrate the strength and momentum of her campaign by raising a very impressive $622,960.02 in contributions. As a testament to the efficiency of her grassroots campaign, Schwartz for Congress […]
(Of course he did — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) joined House Republicans yesterday in approving a bill that would give federal cover to anyone who refuses to give, provide, or even facilitiate medical care. Among other things, the bill would provide legal protection for Catholic hospitals not to peform abortions. These and […]
Timing can be everything in politics, and few Colorado elected officials understand that better than Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma). Gardner was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2014 for a number of reasons — foremost the fact that he ran a strong campaign while incumbent Sen. Mark Udall did not — but also because he picked the […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado journalist David O. Williams has a great post in RealVail.com today, based on his decades of newspaper-industry experience up there, beautifully illustrating the dangers and weirdness of anonymous political journalism and calling on Republican mega-donor Larry Mizel, who’s been raising cash for Donald Trump, to come clean about whether he […]

NBC News reporting, ranks in the Democratic Party have now officially closed with a strong endorsment from Bernie Sanders for presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton: Bernie Sanders officially endorsed Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, capping off a contentious presidential primary and solidifying the former secretary of state’s hold on the Democratic party. “I have come here to […]
(No, this is not good news for Republicans – Promoted by Colorado Pols) After Colorado Trump campaign director Patrick Davis said last week that Trump will rely on the “robust operations” of the Colorado Republican Party to mobilize voters leading up to November, a key county Republican chair said Saturday there’s no signs of any […]
On Saturday, GOP U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn was joined by a variety of Republican politicos up and down the Front Range on a “GOP Unity Tour” to promote Glenn and the GOP’s much-discussed campaign efforts in general this year.

(Translation: they’re screwed – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado’s Trump campaign is relying on the “robust operations” of the Colorado Republican Party to mobilize Trump voters, including “many new people” who are drawn to Trump but are not yet in the campaign databases. Davis: “Because Donald Trump has been bringing so many new people back to […]
Here’s a photo proudly posted to the Twitter feed of Republican Rep. Clarice Navarro of Pueblo, taken at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver earlier this month: Rep. Navarro is considered an important bridgehead for the GOP in an area of the state with a large and swingy population. HD-47 stretches from Penrose and suburban Pueblo […]
The Hill’s Alexander Bolton reports–while Colorado Republicans tour the state this weekend on a “GOP Unity Tour,” including rousing endorsements of Republican presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump by U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn and others, something else is going on in Washington, D.C. That is, straight-up, stone-cold desperation. The hope this week among Republicans was […]

Last night’s horrific shooting of multiple police officers assigned to a protest against police brutality in Dallas is a central point of discussion today across America. It’s a time to mourn not just the killings, but the setback such violence against police represents for an honest solution to the related issues of use of force against […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Of all the crazy stories we heard last summer about the GOP efforts to depose Colorado Republican Party Chair Steve House, this snippet from the Washington Post’s Ben Terris was perhaps the most shocking. … House arrived the night of June 15 to find himself outnumbered — and on the defensive. […]
Earlier this week, we noted that Colorado’s CD-6, currently occupied by incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora), appears to be growing in importance as Republicans worry that Presidential nominee Donald Trump may bring down the whole damn majority in November. Today, as the Aurora Sentinel reports, national Democrats announced that CD-6 — where state Sen. Morgan Carroll (D-Aurora) is looking to unseat Coffman […]
A fascinating story from the Huffington Post about Republican congressional minor candidate Alex Beinstein. Beinstein’s primary run against incumbent GOP Rep. Scott Tipton didn’t count for much, but a subsequent exchange between himself and Colorado Republican Party chairman Steve House he revealed to the HuffPo could make Beinstein more famous than he ever was as a candidate: Alex […]

A Denver Post article yesterday heralded the decision by Americans for Prosperity (AFP) to spend an undisclosed amount of money attacking Morgan Carroll, the Democrat challenging Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora), as a “big boost” for Coffman. But not necessarily. As ColoradoPols has pointed out, AFP’s right-wing agenda doesn’t square with the moderate image Coffman promotes of himself. […]
Do guns kill people? Or do people (with guns) kill people? The answer is: Yes. As the Denver Post reports on the release Tuesday of the annual “Crime in Colorado” report: Colorado residents were most likely to be killed in their homes by someone they knew who had a gun. [Pols emphasis] Of the 172 homicides […]
