As we’ve discussed in this space on numerous occasions, various efforts to recall Democratic elected officials in Colorado are about two things: 1) Figuring out a way to get around the fact that pesky Colorado voters won’t support Republican candidates, and 2) Raising money by any means possible. The fundraising aspect has become so intense, in […]
(Everybody on the gravy boat — Promoted by Colorado Pols) House Republican Leader Patrick Neville is using the statehouse GOP caucus fund to promote another recall effort, this time of Colorado Gov. Jared Polis. Neville didn’t pull any punches in his email soliciting donations: Governor Polis has unleashed the most radical and overreaching agenda in […]

And yes, it’s all a little silly.” — The Pueblo Chieftain (July 18, 2019)[/mantra-pullquote] As you may have heard, there are a lot of nonsense recall campaigns being instituted by a handful of disgruntled Republicans still steaming over big […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Cory Gardner thinks Colorado Republicans should focus on winning the next election, not recalling Democratic Gov. Jared Polis from office.

Over the weekend, a Denver Post guest opinion piece from former El Paso County Republican Party chairman Joshua Hosler shocked the local political chattering class with allegations of threats both overt and delivered via sinister anonymous phone calls against Hosler for his criticism of powerful conservative activist group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners. In particular, Hosler […]
9NEWS’ Kyle Clark put a headstone Monday on the failed attempt by the Colorado Republican Party vice-chair Kristi Burton Brown with support from House Minority Leader Patrick Neville and allies (see below) to recall freshman Democratic state Rep.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former GOP congressional candidate George Athanasopoulos defended Colo House GOP leader Patrick Neville, pro-gun activist Dudley Brown, and others today against accusations that they botched a recall campaign against Democratic lawmaker Tom Sullivan of Centennial. “Anybody who’s trying to finger [Patrick Neville, Joe Neville, or Dudley Brown] for the blame is […]
The vice chair of the Colorado Republican Party, Kristi Burton-Brown, wrote on Facebook today that “in order to accomplish the most good in the shortest time” she and her allies are abandoning an effort to recall Colorado State Rep.

UPDATE #5: The Denver Post’s Anna Staver: “This gives Rep. Sullivan and the Democrats a victory,” said Dick Wadhams, a former Colorado GOP chairman. “Clearly, it was unwise to start this fight.” Wadhams said he thinks recalls have a place in Colorado’s political process, but they need to be “well thought out.” And he isn’t […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland reports–as word spreads nationally about the attempt by Colorado Republicans to recall freshman Rep. Tom Sullivan, whose son was murdered in the July 2012 Aurora theater shooting leading to Sullivan’s run for office on a platform of gun safety, everybody and their mother is lining up not just to […]

(It’s war. For Colorado Republicans, it’s always war. – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican leaders expressed what appeared to be cathartic disagreement yesterday over whether to support a move by Colorado’s Republican Party to recall a state lawmaker for backing a gun-control bill, after the lawmaker, whose his son died in the Aurora theater massacre, […]
UPDATE #2: The Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter: The Republican who lost his seat last year to Democratic state Rep.

Tom Sullivan was initiated by none other than Colorado GOP vice-chair Kristi Burton Brown: A campaign to try to recall Democratic Rep. Tom Sullivan of Centennial from office is official. The effort is directly linked to the Colorado Republican Party — which […]
Republicans gathered at the Pueblo Convention Center last Saturday for their annual “Derby Day Lincoln Dinner,” promoted as an “Evening with James O’Keefe of Project Veritas.” Inbetween dinner and O’Keefe hawking his latest book, Republicans in attendance heard a lot about recall elections in Colorado — perhaps a little too much. One of the speakers […]
There are some people out there saying recalls are a waste of time,” Republican State House Leader Patrick Neville told KNUS 710-AM host Chuck Bonniwell yesterday. To which Bonniwell asked, “Who are the people who say you are wasting your time?” Bonniwell then alleged that Colorado Politics reporter Marianne Goodland said that State Senate Republican […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) State Rep. Rochelle Galindo (D-Greeley) should be removed from office for supporting new oil and gas regulations that will “devastate the oil and gas industry” and “kill oil and gas jobs,” say leaders of an effort to recall the newly elected representative. Yet top producers in Weld County say the new […]
(Recalls talk, reality walks – Promoted by Colorado Pols) A leading Colorado Republican, who’s been saying for months that Democrats should be recalled from office for proposing extreme laws, now believes the “system” worked and the results aren’t so bad. “No, it wasn’t a complete clean sweep,” Republican House Leader Patrick Neville of Castle Rock […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Gov. Jared Polis and State Rep. Rochelle Galindo of Greeley should be ousted from office for supporting legislation, now signed into law by Polis, that allows for more local control in regulating the oil-and-gas industry, according to the websites of multiple campaigns launched to recall the two Democrats. But Colorado’s […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The President of the Official Polis Recall campaign thinks the “worst of it,” when it comes to the transgressions justifying Polis’ removal from office, is a proposed comprehensive sex ed law working its way through the Colorado legislature. In a KNUS radio conversation replete with misinformation, Juli-Andra Fuentes, the group’s president, […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: The internet is forever, folks–as Constellation Political is learning belatedly: You’re welcome (see below). —– UPDATE: David O. Williams picks up the thread for RealVail.com: Eagle County is indeed a very blue county these days, with Sheriff James van Beek the only elected member of the GOP currently serving. Still, that clearly won’t […]
(The Las Vegas shooter would be green with envy! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) A hard-line pro-gun group is kicking off its campaign to recall a Greeley lawmaker with another gun raffle, this one for the largest firearm it’s ever given away, a Barrett M82A1 magazine-fed Barrett .50 BMG semi-automatic rifle. “Dear Fellow Patriot,” reads […]
Making sense of the competing interests within the Republican coalition, and the relationships between those interests as they relate to recall campaigns now being organized, isn’t easy. That’s been a deliberate objective after extremely negative press about the early organizers of both the Galindo recall and the longshot campaign to recall Gov. Jared Polis threw […]
Another must-read story from the Greeley Tribune’s Tyler Silvy this weekend digs into the central question around the nascent recall campaign against freshman Rep. Rochelle Galindo of Greeley–why is this happening? Is it because Rep. Galindo is a “homosexual pervert” trying to indoctrinate the children like Pastor Steve Grant, one of the original organizers of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Despite what Weld County Republicans are saying, the recall effort against Rochelle Galindo (D-Greeley) isn’t because she voted for Colorado’s Red Flag law.
