(Definitely one to watch… – promoted by Colorado Pols) Mississippi’s defeat of a “personhood” amendment last month got journalists across the country talking about campaigns to pass the measure in Colorado, Florida, and other states, but efforts to enact personhood at the federal level have largely flown under the media radar. It’s not looking like […]
It’s over, folks, your new congressional battlegrounds for the next decade: UPDATE #4: AP’s Ivan Moreno Tweets initial reaction from newly-vulnerable Rep. Mike Coffman: Presumably, a whole new Mike Coffman cometh. —– UPDATE #3: AP via the Fort Collins Coloradoan: Democratic attorney Mark Grueskin said he hoped the court’s decision sent a message to other […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) You wonder how anyone could read former Colorado Senator Hank Brown’s recent comments to Republicans, that a federal candidate’s position on abortion really doesn’t matter, and not think of failed Colorado Senate candidate Ken Buck, Rep. Cory Gardner, and others who made similar statements, even though a quick Google search shows just how […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Another attempt at passing a personhood amendment, defining zygotes as people, would almost certainly fail if it makes the Colorado ballot next year, given that it’s gone down decisively twice in a row. So journalists covering the announcement today of efforts put the measure on the ballot shouldn’t get […]
Three press releases after the jump from Colorado AFL-CIO President Mike Cerbo, announcing that union’s endorsement of Democratic congressional candidates Sal Pace in CD-3, Brandon Shaffer in CD-4, and Joe Miklosi in the newly-red hot CD-6 race: “Rebuilding our middle class is key to rebuilding our economy,” said Colorado AFL-CIO President Mike Cerbo. “Working families […]
UPDATE: Miklosi is working hard on trying to discourage a primary, though no amount of endorsements will likely be enough to deter potential opponents until he proves he can raise enough money himself. In a press release sent out today, Miklosi’s campaign says he has the support of “every Democrat serving in the Colorado State […]
FRIDAY UPDATE #2: FOX 31’s Eli Stokols updates: Senate President Brandon Shaffer’s campaign tells FOX31 Denver he’s not abandoning his Congressional bid even though the newly re-drawn Congressional district boundaries have made his uphill climb even steeper… “From day one, he’s announced he’s running in C.D. 4,” said campaign manager Craig Hughes. “He’s still running […]
If Brian Carroll and Andy Szekeres had any hopes that there would be at least a few elected officials backing Carroll’s intent to put Rep. Andy Kerr into a primary, they’re probably long gone now. Kerr’s first e-mail invite to his high profile fundraising event at State Senator Pat Steadman’s home read like a who’s […]
If Brian Carroll and Andy Szekeres had any hopes that there would be at least a few elected officials backing Carroll’s intent to put Rep. Andy Kerr into a primary, they’re probably long gone now.
Kerr’s first e-mail invite to his high profile fundraising event at State Senator Pat Steadman’s home read like a who’s who of Colorado’s GLBT advocacy community.
The follow up e-mail, though, reads like a who’s who of Democratic politics:
Sen. Betty Boyd • Sen. Morgan Carroll • Hon. Terrance Carroll • Rep. Edward Casso • Rep. Lois Court • Rep. Rhonda Fields • Hon. Sara Gagliardi • Rep. Deb Gardner • Rep. Millie Hamner • Sen. Rollie Heath • Sen. Mary Hodge • Rep. Dickey Lee Hullinghorst • Sen. Mike Johnston • Rep. Matt Jones • Rep. Daniel Kagan • Rep. John Kefalas • Hon. Robin Kniech • Rep. Pete Lee • Rep.

cordially invite you to a fundraiser in support of pro-equality hero
Andy Kerr
Kerr’s event is being co-hosted (even if honorarily) by nearly every noteworthy Democrat involved with the legislature in some capacity. If Carroll and company didn’t take the hint before, they’re certainly paying attention now. It’s a hard message to ignore: Democrats support Andy Kerr, and they don’t support Carroll’s primary challenge.
Of course, Carroll probably does enjoy the implicit support of at least one state representative: Ken Summers. We’re sure the Republican is overjoyed at the prospects of Democratic in-fighting in the race to capture his seat.
As reported by Andy Birkey of the Minnesota Independent yesterday: Reps. Chip Cravaack, Michele Bachmann and John Kline lent their names to a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday arguing that the Supreme Court should rule the Affordable Care Act (ACA) unconstitutional. The brief was filed by the American Center for Law […]
(Okay, so don’t cut the post office “in half” then? – promoted by Colorado Pols) The U.S. Postal Service, as you may know, is trying to save money by closing post offices in rural areas, like the district of Rep. Scott Tipton. This prompted Tipton and fellow Congressman Cory Gardner to deliver a letter, electionically […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Just Reporting the numbers – I will let the armchair quarterbacks give us their epic wisdom. Pols – Did you know about Bob Evans from cd5… bobevansforcongress.com Looks like a WINNER! CD 1 Degette Raised 105,585.72, COH 132,156.68 CD 2 Polis Raised 198,540.79, COH 226,147.12 CD 3 […]
A quick wrap-up as parties in the court case to sort out Colorado’s congressional redistricting begin the two-week process of telling it to the judge–as the Durango Herald’s Joe Hanel reports: In addition to the top Democratic and Republican lawyers in the state, attorneys for two Denver-area governments, Hispanic groups and the Pueblo district attorney […]
Senate President Brandon Shaffer, a Democrat challenging Republican incumbent Rep. Cory Gardner in CD-4, announced yesterday that his campaign had raised $180,000 in the third quarter, his first full fundraising quarter. Shaffer’s Q3 haul isn’t eyebrow-raising for any reason, but it’s a strong amount that puts him on a fundraising pace that will keep him […]
As the Colorado Independent’s Troy Hooper reports: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee wasted little time linking at least one Colorado congressman to Monday’s damning Bloomberg Markets Magazine report on Koch Industries… “Representative Cory Gardner’s career in Congress is propped up by the most radical interests in the country who profit off business with the Iranian […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Nine months into his first term in federal office, Colorado’s Third District representative has already staked out turf among DC’s most anti-environmental legislators. Troy Hooper reports in RealAspen: Colorado Conservation Voters issued a report Monday highlighting the poor environmental record of Tipton and his fellow Republican congressmen Cory Gardner […]
If you haven’t seen them yet, here’s a wrap-up of responses from Colorado’s congressional delegation to last night’s presidential address–notable for an unusual lack of partisan bile compared to what we’re used to…well, any time President Barack Obama gives a speech about anything. Have poll numbers showing universal disgust with political grandstanding and obstruction in […]
(Rep. Daniel Kagan represents Colorado House District 3 – promoted by Colorado Pols) Having heard throughout the summer how badly Washington is broken, it made me think how much better we do things here in Denver. Maybe it’s that they have too much humidity up there in the nation’s capital to go with the heat […]
(Not only capitulating on smog regulations, but stealing Cory Gardner’s definition of “job creation?” If political messaging were software, Obama would be slapped with a patent suit tomorrow. – promoted by ProgressiveCowgirl) After a high level meeting between the Chamber of Commerce and William Daley, the White House has decided to throw its EPA administrator […]
(We can always clean the air with a tax cut, right? – promoted by ProgressiveCowgirl) The 112th Congress is the most anti-environment Congress in US history. Since the start of this year there have been over 100 anti-environment votes. Representatives Lamborn, Tipton and Gardner lead the Colorado delegation in anti-environment votes with 128, 122 and […]
FOX 21’s Alia Wilson reports: Supporters of embattled Republican Representative Doug Lamborn are coming to his defense, rallying for the congressman outside of his Colorado Springs office Friday afternoon. Lamborn has apologized to President Barack Obama after using the term “tar baby” in reference to the president on a radio show last month… Backers of […]
The Colorado Independent’s David O. Williams reports: Democrat Diana DeGette joined Republicans Doug Lamborn and Scott Tipton in voting no on the measure, while Democrats Jared Polis and Ed Perlmutter voted for the deal along with Republicans Mike Coffman and Cory Gardner. “Here we are at the 11th hour, with a gun to our head, […]
And not squarely down party lines, either–on the key vote, debated as an amendment to a 2002 education reform bill so as not to (technically, anyway) violate Speaker John Boehner’s pledge to allow 72 hours of public viewing of bills before a vote, here is how your Colorado House delegation voted on the final debt-ceiling […]
Washington Post: The House on Friday narrowly approved Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) debt-ceiling framework, one day after leaders postponed the vote and revamped the measure to secure support from conservatives and four days before the deadline for Congress to raise the federal borrowing limit or else send the country into default. The new Boehner debt […]
Yesterday The Pueblo Chieftain had an odd article by the normally more-astute Peter Roper that was a rundown of Republican Rep. Scott Tipton’s second quarter fundraising efforts. See if you see the strangeness: U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton isn’t wasting any time in pulling together a campaign warchest for his 2012 re-election bid to hold the […]
