UPDATE: Before using Republican attempts to make Barack Obama “prove” his citizenship as a foil, Republicans in the Colorado legislature might want to re-read Senate Concurrent Resolution 11-003, requiring “any person elected to public office in the state of Colorado to provide proof of citizenship along with the oath of office.” If they have any questions, […]

As the Colorado Statesman’s John Tomasic reports, the Brick Tamland of Colorado’s congressional delegation Rep. Doug Lamborn has been holding town halls in across the beating red heart of his El Paso County constituency–and like fellow Republicans across the state and nation with the temerity to stick their heads out during the Easter recess, Lamborn got chewed out but […]
Former Republican Senate candidate Darryl Glenn opened his own political consulting company after the 2016 election, which we found amusing considering how poorly Glenn ran his own campaign. As we said at the time: We can all agree that “DLG Esquire” is a horrendous name for any business that isn’t an escort service; try telling your boss that you want […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) hasn’t held a town hall meeting this year, but he’s graced the warm airwaves of 15 talk-radio shows, taking gentle questions from some of Colorado’s most conservative figures. For example, in February, March, and April, Gardner took time to chat with KNUS 710-AM’s Dan Caplis, a […]
Last night’s raucous town hall held by Rep. Mike Coffman on the CU medical school campus in Aurora was by far the most intense grilling Coffman has ever faced from his constituents–certainly the most intense he has ever faced on live video. Although some media reports have focused on Coffman’s comment in response to the final […]

As Peter Marcus writes for the Colorado Springs Gazette, state Senator Andy Kerr (D-Lakewood) kicks off today what could be a long and complicated race to succeed Rep. Ed Perlmutter in CD-7: In a launch video, Kerr said he plans to “take leadership to Washington, the Colorado way.” “Colorado has taught me what it means to be a leader,” Kerr […]
A press release yesterday from Colorado House Democrats announces the passage of new bills to require more disclosure from so-called “dark money” organizations paying for political campaign advertisements–sometimes with no information whatsoever as to their origins: HB17-1261 ensures that voters know who is paying for mass election communications by requiring “paid for by” disclaimers on all […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) State Rep. Hugh McKean (R-Loveland) last week took to Facebook to defend his vote for a state program providing drivers licenses to immigrants. McKean was under attack by fellow Republican State Rep. Dave Williams of Colorado Springs, who called Democrats and Republicans “shameful” for opposing a budget amendment Friday that would have […]

As the Colorado Springs Gazette’s Peter Marcus reports, the announcement that Rep. Ed Perlmutter will run for governor of Colorado in 2018 is sparking movement upward by Jefferson County Democrats who have been eager for a chance to move up–with two strong candidates announcing or about to announce runs for Perlmutter’s open seat: Lakewood Democrats Brittany […]
Today, as you probably already know, Neil Gorsuch was sworn in to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Neil Gorsuch is from Colorado, but his record stands in opposition to the values we care about as Coloradans. Gorsuch’s confirmation is a disappointment, and we can only hope that the grave concerns Americans have expressed about […]
AP reporting from the Natural Grocers in Golden, CO this afternoon: Congressman Ed Perlmutter (D-Golden) has officially announced that he is running for governor of Colorado. Perlmutter, who has represented Jefferson County in Congress since 2006, made the announcement Sunday at Natural Grocers in Golden… “The Trump administration, coupled with the gridlock that exists in Congress, […]

Sarah Darville writes for Chalkbeat Colorado: Earlier this month, U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was praising Denver’s efforts to support school choice. Not today. Speaking at the Brookings Institution Wednesday, she called out Denver as an example of a district that appears to be choice-friendly — but actually lacks sufficient options for families. A new […]
