(Click here for more on Gardner’s “Face The Nation” interview — Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Denver Post took time to extract the actual newsworthy information from Sunday’s Face-the-Nation interview, featuring U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), instead of simply transcribing the main topic of the senator’s appearance on national TV. The news, which came at […]
A short time ago, Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado appeared on CBS’ Face the Nation. Although most of the questions from today’s interview with Margaret Brennan focused on relations with North Korea following President Donald Trump’s confusing foreign policy announcements late last week, at the end of the interview Gardner was asked about his role–not […]
Burgess Everett of Politico picks up on a theme we’ve visited time and again here on Colorado Pols: It’s no fun to be Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma).

In what appear to be his most extensive media comments on the Florida school massacre, U.S. Sen.

And it’s not by hurting people’s rights. […]
The League of Conservation Voters (LCV), a national environmental group with progressive leanings, released its annual congressional scorecard today, spotlighting its ratings of Colorado’s congressional delegation, which ranged from 100 percent (Democratic Congressman Ed Perlmutter and Jared Polis) to 0 percent (Republican Sen. Cory Gardner and U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn). The scores were based on […]
Following the laughably light “voluntary” punishment of Sen. Randy Baumgardner by Republican Senate leadership after an investigation into Baumgardner’s sexual harassment of women in the Colorado General Assembly found a complaint against him credible, the Denver Post’s editorial board called on Baumgardner to resign. Last week, one of the principal daily newspapers in Baumgardner’s district, […]

The Colorado lawmakers, all Republicans, […]
Senate Republicans are really, really, really not dealing well with allegations of sexual harassment against their own members. Today, the editorial board of the Denver Post made a very public call for change in arguing that State Sen. Randy Baumgardner should resign from office. More importantly, perhaps, the Post hangs plenty of blame on Senate GOP leadership: We are […]
UPDATE: Denver7’s Blair Miller reports that Cory Gardner is releasing his holds on the high-priority nominees Jeff Sessions complained about being held up, though apparently some lower-priority holds will continue: U.S. Sen.

Back in 2012, FOX 31’s Eli Stokols wrote a bombshell story about Sen. Randy Baumgardner-harboring an unregistered sex offender on his ranch–a story that takes on a new and unsavory pallor in light of dogpiling sexual harassment allegations: FOX 31 Denver has confirmed that Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulphur Springs, is currently harboring an unregistered sex offender […]

UPDATE: In a statement issued moments ago, Colorado Senate Democrats are calling on Sen. Randy Baumgardner to resign from office.

Victims and […]

Nevada’s Gaming Control Board has reportedly launched […]
U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) took to conservative radio to cheerlead for Trump yesterday, in advance of the annual State of the Union Address.

In late October 2017, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) sent out this Tweet about the “Upside Down world” that became a central plot point in the popular Netflix series Stranger Things.

ABC News reporting from an interview with Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado yesterday, in which Gardner makes assurances to undocumented immigrants presently covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that we don’t think he has any ability to guarantee: “I don’t believe anybody is going to be deported,” [Pols emphasis] Gardner told ABC […]
