UPDATE: As expected, Senate Bill 101 failed to make it out of the Senate State, Military and Veterans Committee on Thursday and is now officially dead. Republican State Sen.

The battle for control of the El Paso County GOP in Colorado was back in court Friday, as state Republicans and the county party filed dueling motions over who gets to run next week’s […]
Every accusation is a confession. This phrase has become increasingly popular since the rise of Donald Trump in Republican politics. Its origins are often misattributed, in part, to former Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. The concept of “accusing the other side of that which you are guilty” may have been a tactic espoused by […]
As The Colorado Sun reports in its “Unaffiliated” newsletter, a potential top candidate for State Republican Party Chairperson has decided to remove his name from consideration: Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams says he has decided not to make a bid to chair the Colorado GOP. “I have some family milestones that I want to focus […]
(This could be interpreted as problematic — Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a race that may determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives, election workers across Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District are still counting votes to determine if dark horse Democrat Adam Frisch will upset Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. In Pueblo, the largest city in the […]
Running for a state legislative seat is a lot of work, but the basic process of becoming a candidate is not particularly complicated. Unless you are Paul Archer. Archer is a businessman of some sort who has donated significant amounts of money to Republican candidates over the years, and now it’s his turn to be […]
Several absurd recount requests filed by sore-loser Republicans are scheduled to be completed on Thursday. But many of these candidates, including former Secretary of State candidate Tina Peters, are now trying to stop the recounts that they have already paid for because they don’t like how the recounting is being recounted…or something. This is all […]
Marianne Goodland of the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman reports on a very weird fundraising story involving Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters, who was soundly defeated on June 28th in her bid to be the Republican nominee for Secretary of State: Campaign finance reports show embattled Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports: Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters paid the $255,912 needed to recount all votes in the June GOP primary for Colorado Secretary of State, a vote that had her coming in second place against the declared winner, Pamela Anderson. As a result, elections officials in all 64 counties […]
Last Friday’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade precedent and end the constitutional guarantee of abortion rights in America is, for many religious conservatives including the chair of the Colorado Republican Party Kristi Burton Brown, the fulfillment of a principal lifelong political objective. As Denver7’s Meghan Lopez reported […]
One of the more interesting results coming out of Colorado Republicans’ historically crazy assemblies this year was the unexpected (and ultimately short-lived) ouster of Rep. Mary Bradfield, an incumbent Republican state representative in a relatively safe Republican district by Karl Dent, a hard-right grassroots favorite who turned out to have a substantial train of baggage […]
The three Republican candidates for Colorado Secretary of State (SOS) took part in a candidate forum on Thursday, May 12. Republicans Tina Peters, Mike O’Donnell, and Pam Anderson met for what we believe to be the first time at the Foothills Republican Club in Jefferson County. Of course, we HAD to commemorate the event with […]
Colorado Public Radio reporting, with the earth-shaking news this week that the U.S. Supreme Court is internally circulating a draft opinion that overturns Roe v. Wade as well as the Casey v. Planned Parenthood decisions upholding abortion rights, Colorado’s enthusiastic anti-abortion minority is plowing ahead with the next version of what Colorado voters have repeatedly […]
As the Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reports, a lawsuit filed on behalf of freshman GOP going calamity Rep. Lauren Boebert via the state’s usual-suspect gaggle of Republican lawyers seeking to have Boebert’s Republican primary opponent Sen. Don Coram tossed off the ballot has been thrown out of court: A lawsuit filed by a group that […]
Although indicted Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters’s campaign for Colorado Secretary of State is getting most of the attention, particularly since Peters won top line on the June 28th primary ballot with 60% of the state assembly delegate vote, fellow Republican and former Jefferson County Clerk Pam Anderson’s own campaign has stayed relatively quiet through […]
As Colorado Newsline reports, Republican gubernatorial candidate Danielle Neuschwanger, who very narrowly missed a spot on the June 28th Republican primary ballot in voting at the Republican Party state assembly last weekend, is vowing to fight results she insists are fraudulent by any means necessary metaphorical and…well, physical: Neuschwanger, a 34-year-old Colorado native and small […]
The much-balleyhooed rally at the Colorado State Capitol featuring “MyPillow” guy Mike Lindell along with some of Colorado’s leading Donald Trump dead-ender diehards like Secretary of State candidate Tina Peters and U.S. Senate candidate Ron Hanks kicked off at noon as promised today, but we regret to inform any hoping otherwise that revolution is unlikely […]
The Aurora Sentinel’s Max Levy reports on the latest controversy to emerge from Aurora’s newly-installed Republican majority City Council, which in just a few months has mired itself in a string of embarrassing miscues and silly political grandstands that have distracted from their agenda even with the strength to push it though on party-line votes. […]

(Whose party is it anyway? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Following calls by Colorado Republican executive officers for Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters to suspend her statewide campaign for Secretary of State in response to a ten-count indictment filed against her, members of the GOP State Executive and State Central Committees are criticizing the move […]
Colorado Republicans looked for a long time for a candidate to run for Attorney General in 2022. They tried to convince 2018 AG loser George Brauchler to run again, but he said no. They tried to convince former Secretary of State Scott Gessler to give it a go, but he declined repeatedly. Ditto for former lawmaker […]

Denver7 updating the saga of Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, indicted by a grand jury on multiple felony counts related to the theft of proprietary election system data in a failed attempt to provide evidence that the 2020 elections were stolen from Donald Trump–after a bond initially set at $500,000 payable in cash only Wednesday, […]
With five days remaining in the first month of 2022, Colorado Republicans at last finished filling out their statewide candidate brackets. Recently-elected 18th Judicial District District Attorney John Kellner “announced” today that he will run for Attorney General in hopes of ousting incumbent Democrat Phil Weiser.
