UPDATE (3:30 pm): It appears that Joe O’Dea’s campaign is a bit nervous about the fact that their guy got caught with his pants down: O’Dea compares his style to Manchin’s, but he opposes the Manchin-Schumer deal on climate & tax. He’s specifically calling out the tax provisions, which include a 15% global corporate minimum […]
UPDATE: Let the slow heavy metal music play: NEW 📥: In a press release, Tina Peters’ campaign says she has successfully raised enough money ($230k) to pay for a recount of the GOP primary election for Secretary of State.

As the Colorado Sun’s Mark Jaffe reports today, three years after the passage of Senate Bill 19-181, legislation reforming the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission’s mission to prioritize public health over fostering growth of the oil and gas industry, the full effects of the law are becoming apparent. And contrary to the dire warnings […]

As the Denver Post’s Alex Burness reports, the big story coming out of the weekend is the record-setting debate in the Colorado House over the Reproductive Health Equity Act, legislation to codify abortion rights in statute ahead of the widely-feared overturning of the landmark Roe v.

Yesterday, a call brokered by Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy between Reps.
