The pratfalls and misadventures of the Colorado Republican Party have been a key storyline throughout the 2024 election cycle. The infighting that has consumed the Colorado GOP for more than a year isn’t letting up despite the fact that ballots drop in Colorado in about 10 weeks. Candidates and campaigns are now speaking out more […]
Keeping tabs on the ongoing feud between dug-in Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave Williams and the growing number of nominal fellow Republicans determined to oust Williams from his position over a lengthy list of moral and fiduciary misdeeds, Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports that the county-level officials who tried and […]
Colorado Republicans are, in a word, absurd. If you follow politics at all in Colorado, you are aware that the Colorado Republican Party is in the middle of a spectacular shit show related to various attempts at ousting State Party Chairman Dave Williams. The fact that Republicans are bogged down with this nonsense with just […]
In the waning days of the 2024 legislative session in Colorado, both Democrats and Republicans came together on a property tax reduction bill to help Colorado families. This bipartisan group believed that SB24-233 would have the side benefit of preventing two different property tax measures from appearing on the November ballot. A Big Business-aligned group […]
As the Washington Post reported Friday evening and 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark took note of last night (video above), an ally of indicted ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, whose trial in Mesa County on multiple felony charges stemming from the unauthorized access to voting equipment she allegedly allowed in a failed attempt to obtain evidence […]

A fixture in Colorado political journalism is calling it a career. Sandra Fish, Data Journalist for The Colorado Sun (and many other outlets, including the Boulder Daily Camera), announced today in her own understated way that she was swimming off into the sunset. From The Colorado Sun’s “Sunriser” newsletter: “Fish,” as she was commonly known […]
UPDATE: As we noted last week, Colorado Republicans including the state’s top congressional candidate Gabe Evans bearhugged J.D. Vance, which won’t age well in the event Vance turns into a boat anchor for the Republican ticket: “Americans relate to J.D. Vance,” says Gabe Evans. Don’t forget he said so. —– With the announcement Sunday that […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder In the days following the first public call by another party leader for a vote on his removal, Colorado GOP Chair Dave Williams took two actions: he announced the censure of that leader by her fellow executive committee members, and paid himself his next […]
The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee wrapped up last night as former President Donald Trump accepted his third consecutive presidential nomination, with a speech that set a new record for the longest presidential nomination acceptance speech in history–beating the previous two records that were both set by Trump in 2016 and 2020. After the failed […]
UPDATE: There is a lot of information to be gleaned, including between the lines, from this rundown via POLITICO’s “Playbook”. —– An exclusive report from Jeff Mason at Reuters today quotes Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper saying that President Joe Biden, who was forced off the campaign trail yesterday after testing positive for COVID-19, is close […]
Democrats in the state legislature passed a landmark bill in 2019 creating a reinsurance program intended to help reduce health care costs for Coloradans — an effective solution to a problem that Jared Polis campaigned on heavily when running for Governor in 2018. Thanks to that legislation, health care premiums in Colorado DECREASED for the […]
The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reports today on the issue of abortion as it affects competitive congressional races in our state–in particular the coming showdown between Democratic CO-03 once and future contender Adam Frisch and Grand Junction attorney Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd. Hurd, as readers know, was recruited by Republican institutional unfriends of Boebert to […]
As Charles Ashby reports for the Grand Junction Sentinel, the endless delay tactics from indicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters to avoid sanction in the pileup of legal cases against her have finally run out of steam, with Peters’ trial on felony counts stemming from her misuse of office to allow the theft of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder MyPillow founder and election denier Mike Lindell was a surprise guest at a movie screening of Let My People Go, held July 12, at Orchard Mesa Baptist Church in Grand Junction.

We’ve recovered enough from the initial shock to relay what the Washington Post reports from Butler, Pennsylvania: A shooter fired multiple rounds toward the stage at a campaign rally Saturday for former president Donald Trump in what federal officials are investigating as an assassination attempt, according to two people familiar with the matter, who spoke […]
Caitlyn Kim reporting for Colorado Public Radio on the first member of Congress from Colorado, Rep. Brittany Pettersen of JeffCo and points south and west, to call on President Joe Biden exit the 2024 presidential race in favor of “one of our many capable Democratic leaders.” “Joe Biden saved our country once, and I’m joining […]
Westword’s Chris Perez reports on the latest brush with the law (that we know of) involving America’s catbird of carpetbagging Rep. Lauren Boebert, who successfully ditched her growing list of professional and personal problems, at least for now, behind the Continental Divide by winning the clown-car CO-04 GOP primary in a blowout. But on a […]
Congressperson Lauren Boebert likely saved her political career with a landslide victory in last month’s Republican Primary in CO-04. Now that she can exhale about her employment for the next few years, Boebert is free to be her true self… Her true ridiculous, uninformed, and embarrassing self. Boebert is still technically representing the third congressional district […]
As the Washington Examiner’s Rachel Schilke reports, yesterday was distant former Parker Mayor-turned perennial primary loser Republican Greg Lopez’s best day ever, sworn into Congress to fill in for the remaining six months of retired Rep. Ken Buck’s term before the seat is filled for good by the winner of the November 5th CO-04 general […]
President Joe Biden may well weather the storm surrounding the concerns about his age and fitness for the top elected office in the land and remain the Democratic choice for President in November. But this is not the way to do it. We’ve talked a little about Biden’s not-very-good debate performance in Atlanta on June […]
If you’re reading these words there is a strong chance you are the sort of person who watched the first Presidential debate of 2024 on Thursday evening. If you watched that debate, you saw what everyone else saw: President Biden looked pretty bad. Biden’s performance was a shock to the system for many folks who […]
WINNERS Campaign Fundamentals Running for elected office is hard, but it isn’t particularly complicated.

There were a lot of candidates who lost on Tuesday after failing to check some […]
As Andrew Kenney at Colorado Public Radio reports, the last, best chance to put an end to one of the consistently craziest reality TV spectacles in modern American politics died with a whimper last night as calumnious carpetbagging calamity for Christ Rep. Lauren Boebert rolled to victory over five hapless also-rans in the CO-04 Republican […]
State Rep. Gabe-ish Evans cruised to an easy 78-22 victory on Tuesday against Janak Joshi in the Republican Primary in CO-08.
