Law Week Colorado is an underrated member of the local media team, especially when it covers the General Assembly. This week the 20-year old Denver publication gave a good hard look at Sen.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Like it or not, social media accounts are an indispensable component of all professional communications, but especially for elected officials, who can share their message without having to go through reporters.

Denver7’s Meghan Lopez reported this weekend on a new proposal from Colorado legislative leaders and supported by Gov.

(We don’t call her “Q*Bert” for nothing – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Congresswoman Lauren Boebert put a Q-flavored cherry atop an already controversial town hall last Monday night, when she claimed to have insider knowledge of a QAnon-linked conspiracy theory promoted by The Epoch Times that secret documents declassified in the final days of the […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Scott Gessler, a candidate to lead the Colorado Republican Party, recently bragged about how media savvy he is, claiming credit for getting Colorado Public Radio to run a story critical of a top Colorado Democrat. But last week, he made a media-relations mistake widely regarded as amateur: After conducting an interview […]
Shortly after the November 2020 election, Republicans in the state legislature selected Rep. Hugh McKean (R-Loveland) to replace Rep. Patrick Neville (R-Douglas County) as House Minority Leader. Republicans were smart to move on from Neville’s dysfunctional leadership (though Neville technically quit before he could get fired). Neville was good at grifting but not as good […]
