Cleave Simpson, who says flat-out that the state party’s efforts on his behalf are hurting his campaign: State Sen. Cleave Simpson, […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: It’s official, Colorado lawmakers are headed back to class along with the kids later this August, with the goal of saving the state’s schools and local governments from the threat of two ill-advised far-right ballot measures: Colorado Public Radio reports Gov.

“The best is the enemy of the good.” –Voltaire
We’ve been discussing in this space what it means when Republican politicians try to couch their positions on abortion rights by saying that such decisions should be left “up to the states.” For Republicans such as Presidential nominee Donald Trump and Gabe-ish Evans [pictured], a candidate for Congress in CO-08, this is a way of […]
It’s hard to believe that it hasn’t even been a month since President Joe Biden decided to drop his re-election campaign and Vice President Kamala Harris quickly took over as the new Democratic nominee for President. As we’ve noted in this space, the Harris candidacy has changed EVERYTHING about the 2024 election, attracting more than […]
UPDATE 5:20: The counts and verdicts from 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger: —– UPDATE 5:15PM: Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters GUILTY on influencing public servant charges, not guilty on some impersonation charges. Guilty on 7 out of 10 total counts. Stand by for summary. —– UPDATE 5:10PM: Jury has reached a verdict. Jury returning to the […]
On its face, this was just another incendiary Tweet from Colorado’s patron saint of incendiary Tweeting, Rep. Lauren Boebert: But as Natalie Musumeci reports for Business Insider, unlike most of Boebert’s social media firehose spray of attention-seeking vitriol, it was possible to determine exactly where the Congresswoman from Rifle Windsor was at the time of […]
The trial of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters on multiple felony counts stemming from the illegal access and theft of data from Dominion Voting Machines equipment in her care back in 2021 heard testimony yesterday from Peters’ former chief deputy clerk Belinda Knisley, who accepted a plea agreement almost two years ago in this […]
In today’s edition of ideas that sound good in the staff meeting but don’t work out in the real world, here’s former GOP Rep. Dan Woog, running again in House District 19 after losing the seat to outgoing Rep. Jennifer Parenti in 2022, in a cornfield doing what seems to be a spoof of the […]
In late July, we asked readers of Colorado Pols to weigh in on their thoughts on the potential Vice Presidential selection from Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris. With the official announcement expected on Tuesday, it’s time to ask once more time. On July 29, readers felt like Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly had the edge, but […]
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.

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 […]
