We do our best to keep abreast of the latest political scuttlebutt as compiled by our various political newsrooms into weekly newsletter offerings, but like an unfortunate number of news consumers out there we sometimes don’t always make it all the way through every single such roundup every single week–particularly when there’s nothing in the […]
Congress is nearing the end of its Memorial Day recess, which began last Friday and continues through this weekend. It’s been a busy break for most of Colorado’s Congressional delegation. Many of Colorado’s Congresspeople used this “district work period” to meet with constituents and local groups. Freshman Reps. Joe Neguse (D-Lafayette) and Jason Crow (D-Aurora) […]
If Senator Cory Gardner wants to win his tough re-election fight next year, there’s really no constituency he can ignore–which helps explain why he’s all over the map on so many issues. But over a decade in Congress, and especially since entering the Senate, Gardner has allied himself closely with the one sector of society […]
Republican lawmakers in Alabama this week passed the most restrictive abortion law in the country as part of an effort to ultimately force the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider Roe v. Wade. For obvious reasons, Alabama’s new law has thus been one of the biggest political topics of the week and will likely continue to dominate […]
POLS UPDATE: LGBTQ rights organization One Colorado minces no words: Let me be crystal clear – @SenCoryGardner @CoryGardner is neither a friend nor an ally for LGBTQ Coloradans and their families. #cosenate #copolitics #2020Election https://t.co/sntrhy5xqD — One Colorado (@One_Colorado) May 16, 2019 —– (More like rainbow washing – Promoted by Colorado Pols) First reported by […]
Squelched locally under the crush of news at the end of Colorado’s legislative session late last week, another embarrassing defeat for the Trump administration with the withdrawal of Wall Street Journal columnist Stephen Moore from consideration for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board was the talk of Washington–as CBS News reported Thursday: “Steve Moore, […]
As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports, the state’s two senior Democrats in the U.S. House and Senate are calling for the resignation of Attorney General William Barr, as a standoff between Barr and the House over what’s become generally recognized as a brazen cover-up of damning evidence in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on […]
There are currently 20 incumbent Senate Republicans seeking re-election in 2020. None of them — not one — has a lower approval rating among Republican voters than Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma). These are some remarkable numbers, as Morning Consult explains: Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) is the least popular Republican with his home base, with […]
A long-form Politico story out today gives us some of the first detailed answers from Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado about the now-concluded investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections–an investigation that, despite a vigorous attempt by the White House to spin the final report’s conclusions, revealed deeply […]
The Colorado Independent’s Robin Bravender reports on the big donations by the billionaire DeVos family of Michigan to Sen. Cory Gardner’s re-election campaign this year, a substantial piece of his $2 million Q1 that was heavily reliant on out-of-state money. In the case of the DeVoses, that money has a backstory: Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’s […]
As Justin Wingerter reports this afternoon for the Denver Post, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) announced fundraising numbers for the first quarter of 2019 that are curiously unremarkable: Gardner raised $2 million in the first three months of 2019 and has more than $3.4 million on hand, his campaign said Thursday… …“Senator Gardner’s strong fundraising quarter […]
CNN reports on remarks from President Donald Trump at a Washington, D.C. fundraiser for the National Republican Congressional Committee yesterday–in which Trump goes off on a tangent about the horrors of wind power that we have to think would make our allegedly pro-wind power Sen. Cory Gardner blush: “Hillary wanted to put up wind,” said […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) At last weekend’s Colorado Republican Central Committee meeting, Senator Cory Gardner gave Congressman Ken Buck such a full-throated endorsement that his voice almost cracked. Nominating Buck for Colorado Republican party Chair, Gardner praised his experience and his fundraising and organizing ability before concluding simply, “We need him. I need him. This […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Congressman Ken Buck gave a fiery campaign speech at the Colorado Republicans Central Committee meeting Saturday. Cheered on by U.S. Senator Cory Gardner, Buck hit all the usual red meat issues: guns, abortion, oil and gas, before delivering the coup de grace: a call for recalls. Buck dared Democrats to “come […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Douglas County Commissioner Abe Laydon, who is a member of the fundraiser’s host committee, responded to a request for comment. Commissioner Laydon also said he’s excited about the commitment Gardner has made to pursue infrastructure projects that are important to the residents of Douglas County. He continued, “I think we’re […]
A fascinating story from the Colorado Sun’s John Frank today on the three candidates running to be the next chair of the Colorado Republican Party–a daunting position being vacated by outgoing chair Jeff Hays following the worst defeat for the GOP in this state since the Roosevelt era. One of the principal fault lines with […]
We joked earlier today about a photo sent out by Sen. Cory Gardner’s social media accounts featuring Gardner behind the controls of a commercial aircraft, which as it turns out was a simulator at the United Airlines pilot training facility in the Stapleton neighborhood of Denver taken yesterday. So far as we know, that’s the […]
Last week’s vote by the U.S. Senate to terminate President Donald Trump’s border wall national emergency, in which Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado ended weeks of self-generated confusion over his shifting stands on the issue and voted to protect the President, provoked a backlash against Gardner locally that feels much different and more profound than previous […]
In October of 2014, the Denver Post delivered its much-anticipated endorsement in the red-hot U.S. Senate race between incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and his Republican challenger Rep. Cory Gardner. The Post’s endorsement of Gardner in this race was delivered more or less on the assurance that Gardner would not represent a threat to the […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) was a featured speaker recently at the 2019 BBYO International Convention in Denver, where he delivered a brief welcome speech that featured an oddly-timed choice of words. Gardner’s generally milquetoast remarks to the convention of Jewish teenagers wouldn’t be worth a mention if not for the dunderheaded clichés he decided to […]
Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) declared over the weekend that he will vote in favor of a resolution opposing President Trump’s “emergency declaration” for border wall funding. As Paul said during a speech in Kentucky, “I can’t vote to give the president the power to spend money that hasn’t been appropriated by Congress.” Paul’s pledge means that […]
MONDAY UPDATE: The Boulder Daily Camera reports: According to the College Republicans at CU Boulder Facebook page, the club cancelled its usual Thursday night meeting to host an unnamed “special guest speaker” on Friday… A club member who asked not to be identified, said Gardner’s identity was withheld to keep the event from becoming a […]
Senator Cory Gardner has had a busy fundraising schedule so far this year. In addition to a pair of high-dollar events last month, his official campaign kick-off luncheon takes place Wednesday at an undisclosed Washington DC location, where he’ll be joined by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the entire Senate leadership team. But Gardner isn’t […]
(What more can we add? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, a Republican, said yesterday that he likes Trump and wants to give the American people “an opportunity” to get to like him too. “I like the president, and we’ve got to make sure we have an opportunity for the American people […]
In D.C. this evening–happening right now in fact–is a fundraiser to re-elect Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, with a head-turning, depending on your point of view perhaps head-scratching theme: The federal government may be careening toward another shutdown at the end of the week, but for Sen. Gardner it’s business as usual! For $10,000 as […]
