Here’s a post that went up on CO-08 Republican congressional nominee Gabe Evans’ Facebook page last Thursday, asking supporters to join Evans in “supporting President [Donald] Trump before he takes the stage.” During the primary election that Evans wound up winning handily, Trump’s endorsement of Evans–contrary to that of the Colorado Republican Party, which endorsed […]
Nothing quite says, “Happy Birthday, America” like opening the door to turning the United States into a dictatorship. The conservative majority on the United States Supreme Court used the opportunity of the week of America’s birthday to award “Presidential immunity” to whomever occupies the top elected office in the land. The Washington Post explains a […]
There may be no person in Colorado more excited for this week to end than Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams. On Tuesday, Williams was absolutely hammered by Jeff Crank in the race for the Republican congressional nomination in CO-05; Williams lost by a 65-35 margin despite maneuvering the State Party to assist his campaign […]
WINNERS Campaign Fundamentals Running for elected office is hard, but it isn’t particularly complicated. You shake a lot of hands, raise a lot of money, and then use those funds to get your name and message out to potential voters. There were a lot of candidates who lost on Tuesday after failing to check some […]
State Rep. Gabe-ish Evans cruised to an easy 78-22 victory on Tuesday against Janak Joshi in the Republican Primary in CO-08. Evans was having a nice time during his election-night party on Tuesday evening, and then he talked to the media… A little more than two hours after polls closed in the June 25th Primary […]
As results came in deciding the 2024 primary elections in Colorado, ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest multi-issue progressive advocacy organization, released the following statements about the outcome in key congressional races: “In tonight’s biggest congressional race, Gabe Evans won the Republican nomination in CO-08, but only after a damaging primary that forced Evans to publicly […]
The Primary Election is here at last! If you still have a ballot at home, remember that you must return it to a ballot drop box before 7:00 pm. Go to GoVoteColorado.com for more information on where to find a drop off location or how to vote in person if you would prefer (or if […]
We haven’t yet discussed the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025” in this space, but it’s time to start talking about it given a new story today from The Associated Press. If you’re not familiar with “Project 2025,” the short version is that it is a plan being developed by acolytes of Donald Trump to prepare for […]
We’ve reached the last weekend before the June 25th Primary Election, so it’s time for one last pre-Primary poll of Pols’ readers. Our readers have traditionally been weirdly accurate at predicting the outcomes of big races in Colorado, and results from these polls also tend to give us a good idea of which candidates are […]
As the Washington Post’s Anumita Kaur reports, the state of Louisiana has struck another culture-war blow against the separation of church and state, with a new law requiring the Biblical Ten Commandments to be posted in every public school classroom: Gov. Jeff Landry (R) signed legislation Wednesday requiring every public classroom in Louisiana to display […]
Colorado’s hottest congressional race in 2024 once again will be the fight for Democrats to defend the evenly-divided CO-08 seat held by incumbent Rep. Yadira Caraveo from who is expected to be the winner of the Republican primary, freshman state Rep. Gabe Evans. Although Rep. Evans is expected to win the primary election one week […]
Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams is not a particularly popular guy at the moment, and for good reason. Since his election as Chair in March 2023, Williams has systematically turned up the volume on hate speech and divisive rhetoric both within the Republican Party and among Colorado voters in general — while at the […]
With the June 25th Primary Election looming every closer, it’s time to ask readers of Colorado Pols to predict the future once more. Our readers have traditionally been weirdly accurate at predicting the outcomes of big races in Colorado, and we’re asking you to do it again. Scroll through below and give us your best […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: The good news (for Biden) and bad news (for Republicans) keeps on rolling in. The latest: Inflation in May was ZERO. Nada. Nil. From The Washington Post: Fresh data released from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday showed slight improvement from April, when prices rose at an annual rate of 3.4 percent. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder Last week, Douglas County podcaster and election conspiracist Joe Oltmann fled a deposition in federal court in Denver, opening him up to further sanctions and possibly contempt of court charges. Oltmann is currently a defendant in a defamation lawsuit brought by former Dominion executive […]
As readers may know, Donald Trump’s campaign has instructed Republican campaigns across the country to avoid fundraising appeals that invoke Trump’s recent conviction on 34 felony counts in New York related to the cover-up of Trump’s “hush money” payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. Since the conviction, Trump has reportedly enjoyed a massive influx of […]
Readers of Colorado Pols have traditionally been weirdly accurate at predicting the outcomes of big races in Colorado, and we’re asking you to do it again. We’ll ask these questions a few more times before June 25 to get a sense of how perceptions might be changing about the various contests. Scroll through below and […]
Republican State Rep. Gabe-ish Evans, who is hoping to defeat former State Rep. Janak Joshi in the Republican Primary Election in CO-08, picked up a boost on Monday from America’s most prominent porn star payoff-maker. That’s right: Evans has received the “Complete and Total Endorsement” from Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump. As Ernest Luning explains […]
Readers of Colorado Pols know that Colorado Republicans have no chance at taking back control of the State House of Representatives in 2024 (or, really, in 2026 or 2028). It’s unlikely that Republicans will even be able to dent the current 46-19 Democratic advantage in the House when ballots are counted in November, but they […]
UPDATE #2: Gov. Jared Polis responds: No one is above the law. Coloradans have faith in our justice system and the guilty convictions from a jury of his peers show the former President lacks the moral capacity to lead our country. Rep. Diana DeGette: The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they do turn. No […]
“Qui cum canibus concumbunt cum pulicibus surgent.” If you don’t speak Latin — and there’s really know reason you should — you might not recognize that this is a statement that should seem quite familiar. The English version is often attributed to Benjamin Franklin: “He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas.” […]
May 21, 2024. We marked it down for you last week: The day that the Colorado Republican Party died. You’ll recall that day as the one in which the Colorado Republican Party sent out an official email calling on all Colorado Republicans to remove their children from public schools post-haste. “All Colorado parents should be […]
Colorado Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Boulderish) was first elected to Congress in 2018 and just turned 40 this month. His resume is already that of someone much older, and national news outlets are increasingly figuring out what Colorado has known for awhile now: Neguse is a rising star. Neguse was just 36-years-old when he served as […]
Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reported over the weekend on an endorsement anyone could have predicted as the conservative freakroots of the Colorado Republican Party coalesce around the official party-endorsed slate in the upcoming June 25th primary: former presidential candidate and congressman Tom Tancredo, who defined the ragged outer limits of […]
Here’s a simple question: How many times in your life have you “accidentally” used language similar to the rhetoric familiar to Nazi Germany and the Third Reich? We’re guessing the most common answer would be “never.” Talking like a Nazi isn’t at all similar to mistakenly hitting “reply all” on an email. Heck, most people […]
