FOX 31 reports: Democratic Senator Michael Bennet is slated to hold two town hall meetings in Colorado this week, one Monday afternoon and the second on Tuesday. According to Bennet’s office, the first town hall will be held in Greeley and is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. and last about an hour. Doors open […]
UPDATE #3: The Denver Post’s Jesse Paul reports from the scene–hoo boy: U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner was shouted at and derided during a Durango town hall Friday afternoon that was slated to center on the Gold King Mine but which focused on anything but, as an unruly-at-times crowd pressed the Republican on health care. “Why […]
(Who? What? Town hall? Is today Tuesday? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) During a conference call with constituents Wednesday, U.S. Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) said that he’d hold a town hall meeting as soon as he gets his “schedule in Washington figured out.” “Whether we are in session next week is a little unclear right now,” […]
UPDATE: Denver7’s Blair Miller: Gardner’s office announced Friday that it would be temporarily moving to the U.S. Custom House on 19th Street—a federal building that is part of the federal court complex with tight security. Gardner’s press office says the move to the federal building will be temporary and that they’ll announce the permanent location […]
(We’re not going to call this a “town hall” meeting — promoted by Colorado Pols) A much anticipated “town hall” meeting with U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner and other politicians, scheduled to take place in Durango tomorrow, may include just five minutes for questions from constituents, according to one of the event moderators, La Plata County […]
A press advisory a short while ago announced a bonafide public town hall meeting tomorrow afternoon with the elusive Sen. Cory Gardner–in the city of Durango in the far southwest corner of the state, about six hours’ drive time from Denver. Gardner will appear with Gov. John Hickenlooper, Sen. Michael Bennet, and Rep. Scott Tipton, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Why won’t Cory Gardner do in -person, live town halls? That’s easy – if he did, he would have baffled crowds of people yelling, “What?” “Who?” “When?” and turning to each other, muttering, “What – what did he just say? It sounded great, but what does it mean?” He couldn’t handle […]
(Respectfully submitted: no he isn’t – Promoted by Colorado Pols) After first being undecided and then voting for three GOP proposals to kill Obamacare, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner says he has yet to figure out whether he’s supportive of the latest Republican healthcare proposal, put forth by Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), […]
After breaking every promise he made to protect health care for Coloradans, Sen. Cory Gardner is holding another so-called “telephone town hall” tonight at 7:05PM Mountain Time. Gardner remains the only Colorado federal elected official who has not held a single in-person public event since Donald Trump became President. The only question anyone should ask […]
We’ve always been critical of Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) in this space. We’ve no reason to pretend otherwise. But our critique of Gardner is usually tied to specific actions or statements from Colorado’s junior Senator — such as his refusal to hold a town-hall meeting or his astonishingly poor judgment in sitting down for a discussion with […]
As the Denver Post’s Mark Matthews reports: U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado joined with most of his fellow Republicans early Friday in a failed attempt to pass a partial repeal of the Affordable Care Act that even some GOP lawmakers admitted was a strategy only meant to open negotiations with the House. Three Republicans […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Dear Senator Gardner: Now that the “skinny repeal bill” lost on the Senate floor last night, what is your position on health care policy? Before every vote on every repeal bill you have plead ignorance of what is or may be in the bill and therefore you didn’t know if you […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Asked by KHOW radio-host Ross Kaminsky today if there were “something that might come up” in the U.S. Senate” that would make him vote against healthcare reform, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) delivered a strange answer: the “single-payer plan.” Kaminsky: So would you personally vote for almost anything just to get the […]
Politico’s Dan Diamond reports on the latest Congressional Budget Office estimate of Republican legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act–this being an estimate of the version known as a “skinny repeal,” which would eliminate specific components of the ACA like the individual and employer mandates while leaving other parts of the law intact. The CBO […]
UPDATE (2:00 pm): NOW: @SenCoryGardner votes “aye” on repeal-only #healthcare bill.#COpolitics #9NEWS — Brandon Rittiman (@BrandonRittiman) July 26, 2017 Despite Gardner’s support, the bill failed by a 45-55 margin. —– Cory Gardner isn’t even pretending anymore. The Republican Senator from Yuma once touted himself as a moderate voice who would always protect the interests of […]
If you’re a reporter, what to do with U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO)? Assuming he gives you an interview (it took 9News weeks to get one), you’re facing a politician who’s apparently committed to not discussing any of the details of the GOP’s landmark Obamacare replacement bill. He won’t say what he likes, what he […]
POLS UPDATE #2: Colorado Democratic Party chair Morgan Carroll: “Today, Republican Senator Cory Gardner decided that tax breaks for millionaires are more important than health care for millions and more important than the survival of Colorado’s rural hospitals. “Just 24 percent of Coloradans approve of the Republican health care repeal, and only 27 percent of […]
In public venues and sporadic interviews with reporters, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) still isn’t saying publicly how he’ll vote on legislation repealing Obamacare–or even what amendments or elements of a bill he favors. Is he offering more insight into his thinking at private meetings? In one such meeting, at the Pioneers Medical Center in […]
U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) is now undecided on whether he’d support GOP legislation to repeal Obamacare without replacing it first, but he thinks the U.S. Senate should vote on an Obamacare measure, even if it’s likely to fail. “I don’t think I’m going to speculate on [a straight repeal bill], because I don’t know […]
UPDATE: In a separate story in the Denver Post, John Ingold reports that any Senate decision to repeal Obamacare without a replacement plan would virtually destroy the healthcare market in Colorado: The repeal, as proposed in the Senate, would end in 2020 the tax credits that help many people in the individual market pay for their premiums. Also […]
UPDATE: President Trump told GOP Senators today to keep bashing their heads against the wall. From Politico: President Donald Trump told Republican senators on Wednesday that they shouldn’t leave town for August recess without repealing and replacing Obamacare, a point he stressed at least three times. “People are hurting. Inaction is not an option,” Trump said during […]
Two stories up this afternoon from Denver TV political reporters bracket Sen. Cory Gardner with terrible coverage in the wake of the failure this week of the latest version of “Trumpcare,” legislation to repeal and replace the 2010 Affordable Care Act–and not just the more detailed Trumpcare plan, but now a fallback proposal to simple […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) With U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky’s announcement that he’s dumped his bill to replace Obamacare and, instead, will push legislation to repeal the health care law without replacing it for up to two years, a comment by U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) sounds a ton more significant today […]
The repeal of Obamacare came to a screeching halt this evening as two more Republican senators announced their opposition to the bill pending in the U.S. Senate. One of them said the senate should start over, hold committee hearings, and receive input from all sides. An eminently rational position. While we can’t count our chickens […]
