(Promoted by Colorado Pols) “I’ve always had this test as an elected official that, you know, if you can’t go home and look yourself in the mirror, you probably shouldn’t be doing it, right?” said Colorado congressional candidate Barbara Kirkmeyer earlier this year. “If your children would be embarrassed by what you’ve done, you probably […]

Heidi Ganahl Embraces the No-Mentum

Let’s start today’s lesson with three numbers: 17, 17, 18. In the three most recent publicly-available polls in the Colorado race for Governor, these are the margins in which incumbent Democrat Jared Polis is shown to be leading Republican challenger Hiedi Heidi Ganahl. According to a new poll out today from Marist, Polis now leads […]

Matt […]

National Republicans Toss a Few Bucks at O’Dea

As Natalie Allison reports for POLITICO, one of two major national Republican Super PACs associated with GOP efforts to win majority control of the U.S. Senate has at last contributed some money toward efforts to help Republican Joe O’Dea defeat incumbent Democratic Sen.

New Story Examines History of Ganahl’s Furry Obsession

Republican gubernatorial candidate Hiedi Heidi Ganahl spent much of the last 10 days obsessing about a mythical problem of “furries” in classrooms across Colorado, in the process turning her campaign radioactive and cementing her reputation as a complete lunatic who shouldn’t be anywhere the levers of government. Ganahl has recently backed away from Furry-Lago after […]

O’Dea’s Worker Safety Record: Pour The Concrete, Take The Ride

Even before Republican U.S. Senate candidate Joe O’Dea won the nomination in the June 28th primary, his campaign was under fire from labor groups who criticized the employee safety record of O’Dea’s company Concrete Express, Inc. Since O’Dea has no political experience, his record as the owner of CEI is most of what voters have […]

O’Dea Campaign Promotes Saddest Meet and Greet of 2022

As we wrote in this space just a few weeks ago, Republican Joe O’Dea’s campaign for U.S. Senate seems to have been modeled in part on the 2014 strategy that saw Republican Cory Gardner narrowly elected to the U.S. Senate against incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. As we noted in that same post, there’s not […]

Aurora City Council a Cautionary Tale for 2022

Heidi Ganahl Campaign Goes Radioactive

UPDATE: Heidi Ganahl…quintuples down? Sextuples down? It defies comprehension: 🐱: In response to her claims that kids are identifying as cats in Colorado schools, @heidiganahl issued a statement to @KRDONC13, saying parents, teachers, and students know what is happening, not legislators, lazy members of the media, or Governor Jared Polis. #copolitics https://t.co/RXAB8G6ErS pic.twitter.com/NgxsM00yVC — Spencer […]

The conspiracy movie, which stars Peters herself, makes debunked claims that not only the 2020 presidential […]

Tom Cotton Is Not A Nice Man, Joe O’Dea

As the Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Joe O’Dea, running on a counter-brand triangulation strategy to minimize the negatives of running as a Republican in a blue-trending state, made another head-scratching move to confound that message by inviting far-right firebrand U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas to campaign with him in […]

Here’s a good story out of Southern Colorado in the race for State Senate in SD-35. Democrat Travis Nelson is challenging Republican State Rep. Rod Pelton for a State Senate seat in the Alamosa area.

Motion To Dismiss History’s Silliest Campaign Finance Complaint

Back in early August as the state ramped up to mail out “Colorado Cashback” refund checks to Colorado taxpayers–refunds mandated by the 1992 so-called “Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights,” reformulated to give lower-income taxpayers a substantial increase at the expense of wealthier taxpayers — former militia leader and current Republican Party chair Kristi Burton Brown filed […]
