The office of Governor was an open seat in 2018, which prompted several candidates on both sides of the political aisle to take a shot at the top job in the state. After a fairly anticlimactic Primary Election — on both sides — Democrat Jared Polis went on to defeat listless Republican Walker Stapleton by […]
The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul and Sandra Fish have a great story out today documenting the centralized “dark money” funding source known as Unite for Colorado powering a wide variety of conservative issue campaigns, “independent” expenditures, and political “accountability” operations against Democratic lawmakers–millions of dollars in apparently well-coordinated and targeted funds to help Republicans recover […]
This week in episode 95 of the Get More Smarter Podcast — the final episode of 2021 — hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii dedicate an entire show to a bunch of “quick hits.” In other words, we talk about a lot of different subjects but spend a shorter amount of time on each topic. […]
(The many, many faces of Heidi Ganahl — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Indicating that she may be pro-choice when it comes to state policy on abortion, even though she is personally pro-life, the leading Republican candidate for governor in Colorado says may not sign an abortion-ban bill if it landed on her desk as governor, […]

As Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports, former University of Colorado Visiting Scholar in Conservative Thought and Policy John Eastman, who while serving in that role also served as the chief architect of the last-ditch plans by Donald Trump to overturn the results of the 2020 elections on January 6th, has invoked his constitutional protection against self-incrimination […]

UPDATE: Longtime Colorado election official with bipartisan street cred Amber McReynolds deplores Heidi Ganahl trucking with the vote fraud fringe: This is destructive, ridiculous, & sad for any candidate to say or think. Also Heidi has won statewide in the exact same voting process and system. She should know better. It is also insulting to election […]

As we wrote in this space a few weeks ago, Colorado Republican candidates still can’t figure out how to talk about the “Big Lie” with a straightforward answer that actually addresses the central question within the question about the 2020 Presidential election: Was the 2020 Presidential election fair and accurate, or was it “stolen” from […]

As the Washington Post reported Tuesday night, and for some reason still hasn’t rung a bell with local reporters: The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is expected to subpoena John Eastman, the pro-Trump legal scholar who outlined scenarios for denying Joe Biden the presidency, according to the panel’s chairman. […]
The “Big Lie” may be the only truth for Republicans, but they still don’t have any idea how to talk about it without getting at least one foot stuck in their mouth. Was the 2020 Presidential election fair and accurate, or was it “stolen” from former President Donald Trump? This is the single most important […]
Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports news that apparently someone in Eli Bremer’s campaign thought was good, though upon examination it’s not really news at all unless it’s, you know, bad news: Jeff Hays, a former chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, on Wednesday endorsed fellow Air Force Academy graduate Eli […]

TUESDAY UPDATE: It’s getting worse for Hiedi Heidi Ganahl as her campaign bizarrely denies what Dennis Prager said directly to Ganahl’s face a week ago Saturday, in an attempt to shirk responsibility for potentially exposing everyone in the audience to COVID-19–Washington Post: Days before he announced he had tested positive, Prager was in Colorado, where […]
(One election away – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In what appears to be her first public statement on abortion, Colorado governor candidate Heidi Ganahl said she is “pro-life.” Responding to a commenter on her Facebook page who asked if she’s pro-choice, Ganahl responded, “I am pro-life” and then urged the commenter to email her directly […]
9NEWS political reporter Marshall Zelinger with a scoop via Twitter this afternoon that Republicans hoping against hope to retake the Colorado governor’s office in 2022 don’t want to hear: NEW: Tiffany Coolidge, campaign manager for @heidiganahl, will be leaving the campaign at the end of the month. Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl kicked off her […]
(The Big Lie litmus test – Promoted by Colorado Pols) At the annual Colorado GOP Awards Banquet, held last month in Pueblo, the state party gave its top awards to Republicans who have fostered debunked conspiracy theories about how the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent. Also in attendance at the banquet were former U.S. Sen. […]
Full campaign finance numbers for the third quarter of 2021 will be made publicly available on Friday, but some figures are starting to leak out ahead of time. As Ernest Luning reports for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman: U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet raised more than $2 million in the third quarter of […]
A press release from Colorado Democrats rebuts yesterday’s campaign event featuring Republican candidate for governor Hiedi Heidi Ganahl and longtime conservative “culture warrior” Dennis Prager–in which, as we’re just catching up with today, Prager had some remarkably divisive things to say: Sunday afternoon, Heidi Ganahl held a campaign event with right wing extremist Dennis Prager, […]
UPDATE: Colorado GOP chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown responds as carefully as she may in today’s Unaffiliated newsletter by the Colorado Sun: “I briefly accepted a role with FEC United where I was never paid and no contract was signed,” Burton Brown said in a statement to The Colorado Sun. “It was my understanding that FEC’s […]
The 2022 U.S. Senate race in Colorado got a bit more interesting last week, with two new Republican candidates joining the field: Ft. Collins developer Gino Campana and State Rep. Ron Hanks (R-Penrose). There are now six Republicans running for the chance to lose to incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet next November. If this week […]
As Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, the El Paso County Republican Party is distributing a questionnaire to local candidates running in school board races this November, party of the state GOP’s unabashed embrace of a favored slate of candidates in what are traditionally–but perhaps never again–nonpartisan races. But it’s not […]
UPDATE: Ganahl’s campaign seems to have fixed its problem, though they could still use some words for their “Issues” section: —– It’s been two weeks since the launch of Republican University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl’s campaign for governor, which both sides of the aisle agree with unusual frankness did not go well. After a […]
