A story in this weekend's Denver Post from reporter John Aguilar discusses a voter registration ordinance up for debate in the Denver suburb of Westminster–a proposal that's attracting lots of conservative attention, being labeled a "political ploy" intended to help a Westminster city councilor in a bid for election. Let's unpack this silly-season story a […]
UPDATE #2: Conservation Colorado's Pete Maysmith: Conservation Colorado Executive Director Pete Maysmith released the following statement today on the failure to reach an agreement on legislation to enable local governments to have a say over heavy industrial drilling and fracking in their neighborhoods and communities. “Coloradans concerned about the impact of drilling and fracking in […]
The Colorado Statesman's Jody Hope Strogoff follows up today on last Friday's fundraiser, first reported by Colorado Pols, for Colorado GOP Attorney General candidate Cynthia Coffman starring controversial Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer. We're very pleased to learn that Gov. Brewer is a reader! Brewer candidly acknowledged that — to the mild chagrin of her staff — she […]
As live-Tweeted by the Bob Beauprez campaign from yesterday's GOP gubernatorial primary debate: Keeping up a trend we've seen a lot lately, Beauprez's campaign deleted this Tweet some hours later. We suppose it might have been due to the misspelling of "border," which saw some lampooning after it was Tweeted, but the "anchor baby" stuff went out with […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Dear Chairman Call, I'm not your typical terrorist: a fifth-generation Coloradan, a Yuma County native and graduate of a small rural K-12 school, Idalia High School. Upon return from college I settled in Wray where I raised my three children. I was active in local activities – a founding member of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I was all set to write a blog post this morning about Scott Gessler saying on the radio that his Republican gubernatorial opponents are all losers, including Mike Kopp who, Gessler said, presided over the Republicans' disastrous legislative-election collapse in 2010. Gessler told KNUS talk-radio host Jimmy Sengenberger a couple weeks ago: […]
As noted by CNN via FOX 31: Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a likely contender for the 2016 presidential nomination, is urging his supporters to contribute to Gardner’s bid to unseat Sen. Mark Udall. “Cory has been a leading conservative advocate for limited government and lower taxes in Colorado and is the kind of person we […]
SATURDAY UPDATE: Colorado GOP Chairman Ryan Call sounds the retreat, Boulder Daily Camera: "Of course it's ridiculous that over differences of opinion on an important issue, people are calling each other names," Polis said. "There's plenty of arguments on all sides. We want to have a strong energy sector in Colorado, but we also want to […]
"One-and-done" GOP Rep. Jared Wright (R-Fruita) is ending his second and final legislative session with quite a flourish, as the Grand Junction Sentinel's Charles Ashby reports: Rep. Jared Wright doesn’t care what the Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce thinks about a bill he’s backing on uranium mining. The Fruita Republican is co-sponsoring a bill with […]
Do you have any idea what kind of requirements you must meet in order to become Colorado's State Treasurer? Not much, actually. You must be at least 25 years of age; a Colorado resident for a minimum of 2 years; and a United States Citizen. That's it — that's all there is in the Colorado […]
We talked at the end of March about the Republican candidate in Colorado House District 35, an open seat being vacated by term limited Rep. Cherilyn Peniston, named Maria Weese. Weese's Facebook profile revealed a long history of unapologetically racist views, complaining about how "the heat has really been turned up by the Blacks in this […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: Cynthia Coffman claims that she's not "endorsing" Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's agenda, but as the Phoenix metro area East Valley Tribune reports, somebody might want to tell that to Jan Brewer! Brewer just returned Monday night from Georgia where she helped raise money for U.S. Senate hopeful Karen Handel. And today she is in […]
Today's U.S. Senate vote on increasing the federal minimum wage brought out the best (or worst) arguments from opponents of the proposed legislation. Many of those arguments, like the one you see at right, focused on the scare tactic of projecting massive job losses from a minimum wage increase. In this particular case, the Tweet […]
Republican Senators today blocked an effort to move forward on legislation to increase the federal minimum wage, an issue that should nevertheless help Sen. Mark Udall draw a sharp contrast with Republican Rep. Cory Gardner in November. From NBC News: A Democratic bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 was met with overwhelming […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Cory Gardner un-endorsed Colorado's personhood amendment last month by telling The Denver Post's Lynn Bartels he changed his mind. But if Gardner is going to un-endorse federal personhood legislation, which he cosponsored nine months ago, he'll have to trot down to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives and […]
A report from Indian Country Today on the unexpected death yesterday of a bill to offer qualifying Native Americans in-state tuition is raising eyebrows–not simply because the bill died, but due to the comments of a Democratic state senator principally responsible for killing it: A bill in Colorado that would have provided prospective Native American […]
As the Denver Business Journal's Ed Sealover and Cathy Proctor report: The oil and gas wars that many predicted at the Colorado Capitol still may be coming as the 2014 legislative session wanes, as industry representatives and elected officials are discussing a bill that would give local governments more control over drilling regulations. A draft bill […]
National liberal blog ThinkProgress throws us a link discussing GOP U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner's new recycled health care proposal, as introduced reintroduced yesterday: Republican senate candidate Rep. Cory Garnder (CO) — who has previously argued that guaranteed coverage for pre-existing conditions should not be included in health care reform — has introduced a measure […]
Look, we get it. We understand the idea here. Rep. Cory Gardner was obviously concerned that his longtime support of the Personhood issue — both in Colorado and in Congress — would be a significant problem in his quest to defeat incumbent Sen. Mark Udall in November. From a broader perspective, it probably seemed like […]
The Colorado Independent's John Tomasic reports on a new web campaign targeting Rep. Mike Coffman in English and Spanish: Liberal politics site ProgressNow Colorado on Monday launched an ambitious bilingual social-media campaign targeting Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman. The group’s website appears in Spanish- and English-language versions (“Can’t Trust Coffman,” “No Confiar Coffman“) and is […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Progressives who read this blog would be excused for wondering, how could anyone find Rep. Doug Lamborn to be insufficiently tilted rightward? So much so that he should be thrown out? We can thank KVOR's Jeff Crank Show for broadcasting the answer, at least according to the guy who wants Lamborn's […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel's Charles Ashby reports today: Responding to numerous emails and a “legislative alert” from the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners Association, several state lawmakers voted against a bill that changes some definitions in the state’s civil commitment statutes. Under those laws, mental health professionals can hold potentially dangerous patients for up to […]
UPDATE: Hold everything, it looks like Gardner wasn't completely honest about this little "endorsement," Stokols now updating his story: [A] press release from Gardner’s campaign [claimed]: “Bipartisan “No Labels” group endorses Cory Gardner.” But a spokesman for the group later explained to FOX31 Denver that it is “an implied endorsement” — and that Udall, should he join the […]
Last week 9News held a debate between Republican gubernatorial candidates Bob Beauprez, Scott Gessler and Mike Kopp (GOP frontrunner Tom Tancredo did not participate and continues to refuse any debate invitations). As we noted in this space, the candidates were asked about Cliven Bundy, the openly-racist Nevada rancher who has rallied armed supporters to back […]
