As the Denver Post’s Anna Staver reports, after a brief stir in December when campaign filings tipped off his intentions, former Colorado Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff is making it official today: he’s running for the U.S. Senate in 2020. “My campaign, like my career, is grounded in the people of Colorado,” Romanoff said […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A longtime nonpartisan political analyst predicted Monday that Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner’s endorsement of Trump has “shut the door” on any efforts to primary the first-term Republican prior to his expected re-election bid in 2020. In an appearance on Colorado Public Radio Monday, Jennifer Duffy, a senior editor at the Cook […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Nearly three hundred people showed up at the Capitol last week to speak against a relatively narrow bill concerning sex education. Many of them were passionate in their opposition; some were outright angry. One woman gave a graphic description of fringe sex acts that drew audible gasps from the room. Another […]
The Colorado Independent’s Robin Bravender reports on freshly quotable remarks from Colorado’s least inspiring Congressman, Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado Springs–who has a thing or two to say about these whipper-snapper first-year Democrats, and their high-falutin’ idears for green energy and other such pies in the sky: The Democrats’ sweeping plan sounds “too much like […]
It is time to leave partisan corners and work together on behalf of the American people to move our country forward.

Cory Gardner of Colorado, considered one of if not the most vulnerable incumbent Republican […]
The Glenwood Springs Post-Independent reports on the results of the Republican vacancy to replace Rep. Bob Rankin in House District 57, after Rankin was himself appointed to replace Sen.

UPDATE: Into the self-immolating spotlight steps, you guessed it, Rep. Lori Saine: Here you have arguably Colorado’s most infamously shameful Republican, just days off her own national news ridicule for falsely claiming that “whites and blacks were lynched in nearly equal numbers,” complaining about “radical notions of sexuality and gender” and absurdly claiming that “Democrats […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Here are some samples of inaccurate statements from respected sources about the sex-ed bill that’s under consideration by state lawmakers. Read the bill text here.
In the fall of 2016, back when it was still inconceivable to most people that Donald J. Trump might actually end up as the President of the United States, it wasn’t hard to find a Republican seeking distance between themselves and the Republican nominee for President. Media outlets often referred to these Republican politicians as […]

TUESDAY UPDATE: Apropos from the Colorado Sun’s Brian Eason: President Donald Trump’s $400 billion federal tax cut for pass-through businesses has emerged as a top target of Colorado Gov.

It’s almost easier to make a list of Democrats who are not interested in running for President in 2020, but we’re going to give it a shot now that more candidates are starting to make their intentions (officially) known. When we asked you this question last July, former Vice President Joe Biden and “Someone Else” were […]
UPDATE #2: Sen. Michael Bennet turns to the next order of business, getting all these federal workers paid: For 35 days, more than 800,000 public servants bared the brunt of this reckless government shutdown. Now that @POTUS has come to his senses, we have to make sure people get paid. pic.twitter.com/2XjUx7jrR0 — Michael Bennet (@SenatorBennet) […]
CBS4’s Shaun Boyd reports on a perennial bill introduced in the Colorado legislature that, while it hasn’t passed in previous sessions, might see a different outcome this year in under unified Democratic control–legislation to expand on the state’s existing ban on texting while driving to requiring drivers to be fully hands-free if the call truly […]

(For the record – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) is trying to sound like a good-government crusader, saying on Twitter that he’s “consistently been against government shutdowns,” and specifying on KOA’s Colorado’s Morning News that “it’s a position I’ve taken since 2013, opposing the shutdown then.” But in 2013, Gardner told KOA’s Mike Rosen […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) During a radio interview yesterday, one of the state’s most partisan Republican radio hosts essentially begged State Rep. Lori Saine (R-Firestone) to walk back her statement at the Capitol last week that blacks and whites were once lynched in “almost equal numbers.” But Saine didn’t take the hint. First, KNUS 710-AM […]
