An event coming up this Saturday evening in Pueblo hosted by an organization calling itself the Strong Women of Pueblo County caught our eye for a reason that might be as obvious to you as it was to us: As you can see, one of the hosts of Saturday’s Strong Women of Pueblo event is […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I see a lot of bad stuff in the #FeverSwamps™, but I am continually shocked by the depravity of a Republican activist and fundraiser named Tom Ready. Each year, Tom Ready holds a “Steak Fry” that benefits Republicans under his “Let’s Win” PAC. Each year, some of the biggest names in […]
(Yeesh – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Most of Colorado now knows about Tom Ready, the Pueblo County Commissioner candidate who promoted the idea that the Sandy Hook school massacre was just a "hoax" perpetuated by people who want more gun laws. The Pueblo County Republican Party has been deafeningly silent about Tom Ready's extreme views, […]
UPDATE: The calls for Republicans who attended Tom Ready's fundraiser last month to disown him continue: A Colorado independent nonprofit group whose mission is to hold Republican nominee for Governor Bob Beauprez accountable called on Beauprez to renounce his appearance with a Sandy Hook denier who questioned whether the event really took place. "We call […]
As Bob Moore of the Ft. Collins Coloradoan reports: The Republican primary is still almost seven months away, but Tom Lucero will air the first commercial of the 2010 congressional campaign starting Tuesday… …I asked the campaign about where the ad will air and was told “Fox.” I’m trying to get a clarification on whether […]
When President Trump announced last week (again) that he was moving Space Command headquarters from Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama, Colorado’s entire Congressional delegation responded in rare agreement on a joint statement condemning the decision and promising that the HQ location fight wasn’t finished. Here’s what that statement from September […]
A press advisory this morning directs interested parties to Historic Fort Lupton tomorrow evening, a notable venue as we’ll explain, for the announcement we’ve been awaiting for months: not so much out of anticipation rather than simply watching the requisite boxes get checked on the way to launching a campaign for governor that even many […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…as the Trump regime enters its first week and begins to lay the groundwork for the worst shit imaginable, Colorado’s Democratic leaders ready themselves for the fight while Colorado’s Republicans write letters of support. We check in with our 7th (Gabe Evans) and 8th (Lauren Boebert) favorite members […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Jason Salzman and Erik Maulbetsch, Colorado Times Recorder In 2020, when he was a visiting scholar at the University of Colorado’s Benson Center for Western Conservative Thought, John Eastman speculated in a Newsweek op-ed that Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris might not be eligible to serve as vice president because her […]
Yesterday was the annual Latino/a Advocacy Day at the Colorado State Capitol, an annual event that like so many other routine functions at the Capitol didn’t result in much controversy in the “before times”–that sometimes-mythologized halcyon period before either the global pandemic or Donald Trump where the discourse under the Dome was somewhat less consistently […]
Tonight at 6:00 pm, the “Republican Women of Weld” (WOW) and The Lincoln Club of Colorado will host the most consequential political debate Colorado has seen in years: The first big verbal showdown between the gazillion candidates running for the congressional seat in CO-04 being vacated by the retirement of Rep. Ken Buck. [*Note: WOW […]
UPDATE #7: Hello, “Square One.” Emmer already dropped out of the running to become House Speaker. Via The Washington Post: Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), the House majority whip, and the third Republican speaker pick since the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), had been elected as the GOP nominee on an internal ballot earlier Tuesday. However, […]
One of our longest running features at Colorado Pols is something we call, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator,” where we detail a strange story that is normally about a politician from somewhere outside of Colorado. Sometimes, unfortunately, this feature applies to weirdos in our own state. State Rep. Scott “There is No” Bottoms, a […]
One of the more entertaining and enlightening moments of the 2022 election cycle in Colorado took place in September during a gubernatorial candidate forum hosted by Colorado Concern. Longtime Denver Post publisher Dean Singleton was the moderator of the event; he tried really, really hard to understand how Republican Heidi Ganahl planned to eliminate the […]
(In the name of all that’s good and decent — Promoted by Colorado Pols) In his race for the state Senate, Tom Sullivan, who first ran for the state legislature after his son was killed in the Aurora Theater massacre and has made gun safety a top priority ever since, faces a Republican opponent, Tom […]
Because ready or not: One week from tomorrow the loudest election conspiracy theorist in America “MyPillow Guy” Mike Lindell will be in Colorado to headline a rally for his dear friend and recipient of much Big Pillow largesse, indicted but still-in-it-to-win-it Secretary of State candidate Tina Peters. Also headlining is the Colorado GOP U.S. Senate […]
The 2022 U.S. Senate race in Colorado got a bit more interesting last week, with two new Republican candidates joining the field: Ft. Collins developer Gino Campana and State Rep. Ron Hanks (R-Penrose). There are now six Republicans running for the chance to lose to incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet next November. If this week […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Election conspiracists in Colorado who pioneered a field campaign that involves volunteers, some of whom are potentially armed, going door-to-door in search of phantom ballots, are now helping to export that tactic across the country, perhaps in as many as 30 states. More accurately, volunteers for the U.S. Election Integrity Plan […]
Tomorrow will mark two weeks since Republican University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl launched her campaign for governor, and the bipartisan consensus view with the benefit of that much hindsight is that Ganahl’s campaign kickoff was a messaging failure–squandering months of overwrought preparation, including a contrived “podcast tour” to build Ganahl’s poor name ID while […]
Recapping by a wide margin the most unexpected development in last night’s primary elections in Colorado, the stunning upset victory by QAnon-loving COVID-denying gun-toting Rifle restaurant owner Lauren Boebert over five-term incumbent GOP Rep. Scott Tipton that has instantly put the seat in play for Democrats–starting with the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby: On Tuesday […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner made headlines across the country on Wednesday when he announced that he would not support calling new witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial. As we’ve discussed at length in this space, there has never been any real reason to believe that Gardner would could be dissuaded from covering up for President […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE #2: It’s not a party until the Proud Boys show up with their boots on: Now that elevates the discourse. Colorado's Republican legislators tried to talk transportation and education funding as anti-vaxxers and Proud Boys rallied to support them outside the Capitol. #copolitics #9NEWS pic.twitter.com/vI53D0oHlk — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) January 9, 2020 —– […]
Conservative Republicans are already talking about trying to knock U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner out of Colorado’s 2020 senate race, with one local talk-radio host floating the name of State House Minority Leader Patrick Neville as a “great choice” to take on Gardner. Neville didn’t return a call seeking to know if he’d challenge Gardner or […]
Republican gubernatorial nominee Walker Stapleton spent most of the Republican Primary race telling anyone who would listen about how much he embraces President Trump. Stapleton talked up Trump at every campaign stop and repeated his “support” of the President in every television ad. It was a calculated strategy aimed at locking up Republican Primary voters who love them […]
National liberal info-clearinghouse Media Matters for America gave Tom Tancredo a thorough once-over today, making sure journalists nationwide who consult MMFA as a resource (admittedly with a particular leaning) have all the links they need to properly explain Colorado’s GOP far-right gubernatorial candidate-to-beat to a jaded world–those who don’t already know about him, that is: […]
