We wrote last week about the ridiculous Republican retread ticket in Jefferson County, where proven political losers such as Don Rosier, Libby Szabo, and Vicki Pyne are taking another shot at public office in Jefferson County government. We often say that the Republican bench in Colorado is basically a phone booth, but even so…is this […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: They fixed it. —– Are you a Jefferson County voter planning to cast your ballot before Election Day on November 6, 2018? Then you might want to let Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder Faye Griffin in on a little secret: It’s not 2019. Readers of this site and one of our local spinoffs, […]
Faye Griffin will still be serving as an elected official in Jefferson County long after your children’s children have come and gone — even if Jeffco Republicans have to get her cryogenically frozen in order to make it happen. It looks like we need to update a long-running saga involving Griffin’s political history in Jefferson County. Current […]
The Denver Post published a strongly-worded editorial critical of Jefferson County Commissioner (and Clerk & Recorder candidate) Faye Griffin. The editorial board's rebuke of Griffin for what the Post calls "job hopping" contains some stunningly-candid quotes from Griffin herself: We asked Griffin why she would leave the commission two years early, and she was candid […]
Jefferson County voters may be familiar with the name Faye Griffin, in large part because her name has been on a Jeffco ballot since the dawn of time. The 75-year-old Griffin is both allergic to the concept of "term limits" and more than willing to let the rest of the GOP county government trade on […]
This is Faye Griffin, Jefferson County Commissioner and former Jeffco Treasurer and Jeffco Clerk and Recorder. Griffin has been in elected office in Jefferson County government since 1998, a long record of service that might be commendable if she would stop gaming the system and actually finish an elected job once in awhile. As the […]
Who knew? Faye Griffin, who commented in a Rocky Mountain News article a few weeks ago that she wasn’t fundraising and she was paying for her own campaign, beat former state representative and current Jeffco treasurer Mark Paschall. My household received at least two mailings from Paschall and he ran a weekly ad in The […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: Wednesday was the deadline for most campaigns to submit Q3 (July – September) fundraising reports. The last fundraising quarter of the year is often much weaker for candidates because of the holiday season, so Q3 numbers can offer the best look at a campaign’s finances until early next year. We’ll run down the […]
Last week’s announcement that “high-risk missionary” Richard Victor Marx will run for the Republican nomination for governor in 2026 was bad news for two current candidates: the first being fellow pastor and state Rep. Scott Bottoms, who while running in the same general MAGA religious-right lane as Marx has a massive charismatic deficit by comparison. […]
As the Denver Post’s Nick Coltrain reports, Republicans in Colorado House District 14 got a few days ahead of themselves in convening to appoint a replacement for suddenly resigned House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese, and by breaking the rule requiring ten days’ notice before doing the deed, they’ve imperiled the accession of gun rights advocate […]
If you like rain and snow, then boy do we have the day(s) for you! Mountain areas could see 20 inches of snow, while lower elevations might get as much as four inches of rain today. Let’s Get More Smarter! If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below […]
As Mediaite’s Alex Griffing reports this morning, Colorado’s controversy first details later Rep. Lauren Boebert piled on to one of the anecdotes floated by the world’s richest man Elon Musk to justify his evisceration of the U.S. Agency for International Development, the first (but not last) federal agency to find its head in the DOGE […]
CNN reports from the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, where Donald Trump appeared yesterday for a sit-down interview with three Black journalists that even on the Trump scale of incendiary shock value is difficult to overstate: a performance that would have ended any other political career, and although it’s not the first […]
Vice President Kamala Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee for President after less than two days of campaigning without President Biden. Harris’s campaign raised more than $100 million from 1.1 million individual donors in about 36 hours, including a record $81 million in her first 24 hours as a candidate. The first public polling results […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) This story originally appeared in The Colorado Times Recorder. According to a news release, a criminal complaint was filed today with the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s office by Colorado Congressional District 5 candidate Joshua Griffin, who is alleging that El Paso County Chair Vickie Tonkins and Colorado GOP Chair — and […]
As reporter Hannah Metzger writes for Westword today, one of Colorado’s most infamous conservative activists, former state Rep. Doug “Mr. TABOR” Bruce, is officially jumping into the CD-5 primary for retiring Rep. Doug Lamborn’s seat after signaling his intention to do so early this month: Rumors have swirled for weeks that Bruce could join the […]

(Republished under Creative Commons license by Colorado Pols) by Quentin Young, Colorado Newsline July 13, 2023 The Colorado secretary of state declined to say whether she will grant ballot access to former President Donald Trump, who is running for president in 2024. “We are going to officially decline to comment at this time,” Annie Orloff, […]

We’ve said many times in this space that the Republican bench in Colorado is basically a phone booth. For years, the Colorado GOP has had a hell of a time trying to find decent candidates for any number of important races. Things are as bad for Republicans in 2022 as they have ever been; the […]

With so much attention focused at the top of the ticket in this highest-stakes-ever presidential election year, the situation down the ballot is as always somewhat less clear than the emerging consensus in polling locking down the big races. It’s generally expected that voters in Colorado will be engaging in much less “ticket splitting” in […]
UPDATE #2: President Trump responds, sort of, to questions about why all of his top advisers keep facing criminal charges: NBC’s @GeoffRBennett: “Respectfully, sir, it’s not just Steve Bannon, it’s Roger Stone, it’s Michael Flynn, it’s Rick Gates, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen. What’s it say about your judgment—” Trump: “Well, I have no idea.” — […]
