(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After a successful fundraising drive last year led by local Republicans, Colorado Springs portrait artist Sarah Boardman was commissioned to paint a portrait of President Donald Trump for the Colorado Capitol. She’s putting the finishing touches on her work, which she says will done by the end of the month. Boardman […]
Last night, 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark aired comments by GOP Sen. Vicki Marble of Broomfield–first reported by our friends at the Colorado Times Recorder–calling for some portion of the state to secede and form a new state to uphold conservative principles in the wake of 2018’s sweeping Democratic victory: Republican Senator Vicki Marble of Fort Collins […]
(It’s not always easy to do the right thing — Promoted by Colorado Pols) El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder says he’s getting “threats” for denouncing the El Paso County Commission’s vote to become a “2nd Amendment Sanctuary,” under which the county would reject state laws affecting guns. This past weekend, Elder first spoke out […]
Just a few weeks after he accepted the Republican nomination for President, Donald Trump sat down with Brandon Rittiman of 9News for a wide-ranging interview. As a reader pointed out to us today, Trump actually spoke in favor of local control on the issue of fracking: RITTIMAN: And while we are on the top of […]
Your deliberately oversimplified glance at what happened in Colorado this week. Sandhill cranes return to San Luis Valley Experience Frozen Dead Guy Days in Nederland Need to cast a ballot from overseas? Denver now has an app for that Bill to focus Colorado oil rules on safety clears 2nd hurdle Here’s how John Hickenlooper introduced […]
This week in Colorado politics has been dominated by the debate over Senate Bill 19-181, legislation reforming the relationship between local governments and oil and gas companies as well as changing the mission of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission so that the agency is no longer required to “foster” the industry’s development over […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is among the most endangered Republican incumbents in the country. We know this because hardly a week goes by without some news outlet mentioning his vulnerability in 2020. While the 2020 election is still 607 days away (as of today), we’re less than a year out from the party caucuses in Colorado, […]
Cory Gardner wants Colorado to think he’s been standing up to Trump. But the truth is whenever it matters he’s been standing up FOR Trump. Cory Gardner is no bystander. He’s complicit.

(This is getting silly – Promoted by Colorado Pols) After a handful of Colorado counties declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries, rejecting a proposed law that allows judges to take guns from dangerous people, a Colorado lawmaker now wants her county commissioners to consider not enforcing state laws regulating the oil and gas industry. “I definitely […]
UPDATE: These recalls are brought to you by the Neville clan. —– Even before the final votes were counted in a 2018 election that saw sweeping victories for Colorado Democrats, local Republicans were keen on telling anyone who would listen to expect Democrats to “overreach” in the 2019 legislative session. As we noted in this […]
We first added “President” to The Big Line ahead of the 2016 election. We don’t try to predict the outcome of the nationwide race for President — only the outcome in this state — but we might be on to something with our current odds to win Colorado: As Harry Enten explains for CNN, […]
Opponents of legislation to prioritize health and safety in decisions about oil and gas development have focused their strategy on one very vague argument: That the process for deliberating Senate Bill 181 is happening too quickly. This is dumb. Complaining that a legislative approach is “too fast” is an intellectually lazy and intentionally ambiguous approach […]
Yesterday’s 12-hour hearing for Senate Bill 19-181, this year’s landmark legislation to return some control over oil and gas drilling to local communities as well as getting the state out of the business of “fostering” the industry over public health and safety, –the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports: Hundreds of people descended on the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The oil and gas industry, and its Republican allies, are returning to the tactics they used in 2008 when they opposed new oil-and-gas regulations proposed by the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission, which had been reconfigured the year before. Today, as Democrats prepare to, among other things, make health and safety […]
Pro tip from Colorado Pols: If you set your clock ahead 10 minutes every day this week, you won’t have to make the full one-hour Daylight Saving adjustment on Sunday.

Much discussion at the Colorado Capitol today about an email blast sent out yesterday afternoon by Republican Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg of Sterling. Sonnenberg’s well-earned reputation as a safe-seat blowhard nevertheless left recipients unprepared for the over-the-top vitriol exhibited in this shocking stream of consciousness decrying the “evil” playing out at the hands of majority Democrats […]
We wrote earlier today about efforts by oil and gas interests to delay legislation intended to prioritize the health and safety of Coloradans over profits or other motives in regulating oil and gas drilling operations. The O&G industry is pushing hard to establish a narrative of Democrats crafting Senate Bill 181 in secret and “rushing” […]
Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) declared over the weekend that he will vote in favor of a resolution opposing President Trump’s “emergency declaration” for border wall funding. As Paul said during a speech in Kentucky, “I can’t vote to give the president the power to spend money that hasn’t been appropriated by Congress.” Paul’s pledge means that […]

Ernest Luning of the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman has a fascinating new story out today about Rep. Ken Buck (R-Greeley) and his bid to become the next Chair of the Colorado Republican Party. Luning’s story includes a handful of jaw-dropping quotes from various Republican sources in response to a marvelously absurd proposition […]
If elected later this month to lead the Colorado Republican Party, U.S. Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) would hand over the day-to-day strategic duties of the Republican Party to former Colorado GOP leader Steve House. House, who resigned as GOP leader in 2016, would stand in for Buck as needed, and would, among other things run […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) was a guest on “The Daily Briefing” with Dana Perino on Fox News Thursday morning. The interview was primarily about North Korea and President Trump’s apparently fruitless talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, as well as Trump’s non-response about the death of American Otto Warmbier. As it is in many of […]
