Three press releases after the jump from Colorado AFL-CIO President Mike Cerbo, announcing that union’s endorsement of Democratic congressional candidates Sal Pace in CD-3, Brandon Shaffer in CD-4, and Joe Miklosi in the newly-red hot CD-6 race: “Rebuilding our middle class is key to rebuilding our economy,” said Colorado AFL-CIO President Mike Cerbo. “Working families […]
UPDATE: Miklosi is working hard on trying to discourage a primary, though no amount of endorsements will likely be enough to deter potential opponents until he proves he can raise enough money himself. In a press release sent out today, Miklosi’s campaign says he has the support of “every Democrat serving in the Colorado State […]
FRIDAY UPDATE #2: FOX 31’s Eli Stokols updates: Senate President Brandon Shaffer’s campaign tells FOX31 Denver he’s not abandoning his Congressional bid even though the newly re-drawn Congressional district boundaries have made his uphill climb even steeper… “From day one, he’s announced he’s running in C.D. 4,” said campaign manager Craig Hughes. “He’s still running […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Courtesy of The Colorado Statesman: The most prominent names mentioned as possible candidates belong to the last two Democrats to wield the speaker’s gavel, Andrew Romanoff and Terrance Carroll. Either of them would bring legions of fans, plenty of money and a note of serious intent to a Coffman […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) 8:36 – Finally found the press area and am set up! Pretty low key so far with most people sitting and waiting and some milling around. Lines at the county register booths are very short. Only two groups handing out lit on the way in was a union group […]

Science plays a very important part in our political sphere. The most obvious is the theory of global warming – do we invest trillions to address the problems it predicts? But it plays a part across the spectrum from food safety to medical research to… the list is endless. The question I asked was please […]
I was looking at the list of interviews I’ve done over the last year and I figured I should list them all for those that want to learn a bit more about some of our political leaders. The links are to my personal blog because finding all of these on Pols would take a lot […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) I had the opportunity today to interview State Treasurer Cary Kennedy. She is easily the most personable elected official I have met to date (and that is a very high standard). She does an amazing job of connecting with people. She also clearly loves her job and feels very […]
Breaking from the Rocky Mountain News, not really a surprise: Gov. Bill Ritter this morning named Grand Junction lawmaker Bernie Buescher as Colorado’s new Secretary of State. He will replace Mike Coffman, who was elected to Congress last month. Buescher was a member of the state legislature’s powerful Joint Budget Committee, but lost in his […]
In an email sent to supporters last night, which may do more harm than good: The Governor’s office has announced the three finalists for Secretary of State. I am one of them. Mike Coffman will be resigning at the end of the year so the Governor, who makes the appointment, will be choosing the new […]
Of course it’s not a surprise, but the Grand Junction Sentinel makes some salient points. Highlights: We recognize there is a touch of parochialism in endorsing state Rep. Bernie Buescher of Grand Junction to be named Colorado’s next secretary of state. But, with every top state elected position currently occupied by Front Range types, we […]
The Post reports: Secretary of State Mike Coffman, who won election to Congress on Tuesday, said Wednesday that he won’t leave his current post until the day before he is sworn in as a U.S. representative [rsb emphasis]. Meanwhile, Gov. Bill Ritter, who will appoint Coffman’s successor as the state’s chief elections officer, said he […]
Ok, let’s get your list of tonight’s winners and losers. Colorado perspective but national too. Tonight’s winners: The American people & the country. The National Democratic party – President, more Senate/House seats. Betsy Markey (and team) – a gigantic win. “Boulder Liberals” (and their standard-bearer Mark Udall) – preferred over Republicans by 10% of the […]
We did the first round of our “Political Draft” in honor of April’s NFL Draft. Tonight is the NBA Draft, so we thought it would be a good time for Round 2. We took the top vote-getters (anybody who received more than 4 votes) from the first draft poll and put them in a poll […]
You have provided your input, and now here’s our rundown of the 2007 Winners in Colorado Politics. Although 2007 was an off-year for elections, there were still plenty of winners and losers in Colorado politics. Fateful decisions were made that will portend good or ill in the all-important coming year. As with our 2006 roster, […]
Leslie Herod, an staffer for Governor Bill Ritter, is making plans to enter the already crowded primary to succeed term-limited Rep. Rosemary Marshall. Herod is expected to receive significant support from both the African-American and Gay and Lesbian Communities and should be well-funded. Herod would enter a busy field that already includes Beth McCann, Cindy […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) The Post ran a column from Dan Haley today with his picks for the “10 Politicians to Watch in the New Year.” He asked us to comment on his blog, but there’s no posting on his blog as of this morning. So, let’s help him out with some constructive […]
With the 2006 election now one week behind us (unless you’re the Denver Election Commission, that is), it’s time to take a look back at the Winners and Losers of the political season. Some people, such as Marilyn Musgrave and Doug Lamborn, fell into both categories (winners and losers). With that in mind, click below […]
I have been making election predictions for several years now and this year ColoradoPols provides a place to make them publically. I usually wait until early voting begins, but this year it is expected that 40-50% of the votes cast will be done so by absentee ballot. With this week being the week the first […]
Democrat Cary Kennedy, who is running for state treasurer, announced today that her campaign had raised $108,171 in Q1, which the campaign says is a record for a state treasurer candidate in any quarter. To read the full press release, click below… ?
