Control of the State Senate in 2016 appears as though it will be decided in SD-25 (Adams County), where Republican Rep. Kevin Priola is battling Democrat Jenise May for an open seat being vacated by the term-limited state Sen. Mary Hodge (D-Brighton).

JoAnn Windholz of Adams County, fighting for her political career after highly impolitic comments in the wake of the Planned Parenthood shootings in Colorado Springs last year made her a national poster child for anti-choice extremism, has a message for her get-out-the-vote team pounding the pavement this weekend: Look, we know Rep. Windholz […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The combination Trump’s “misogyny,” last year’s murders at a Colorado Springs clinic, and the popularity of Planned Parenthood is translating into votes for pro-choice candidates in Colorado, according to Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado (PPVC) Director Sarah Taylor-Nanista. “Violent rhetoric across the country angers women, but there is a specific connection in […]

Let’s be clear from the get-go here: Republican Senate candidate Darryl Glenn is not going to defeat Democratic incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet next week.
