UPDATE: More from the Huffington Post: —– “The true measure of a man is whether or not people prefer him in cardboard form.” — (Not) Socrates Cardboard Cory might not just be the most popular cardboard cutout in modern history — it might be the most popular version of Cory Gardner in existence […]
The decision by former Gov. John Hickenlooper to enter the race for U.S. Senate has stirred up some recognizable complaints about outside forces conspiring to foist a preferred candidate upon the masses in Colorado. Many of these are familiar arguments from familiar faces, but are they accurate? As Chase Woodruff wrote recently for Westword, any number of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: EVRAZ emphasizes its work with President Garcia in a tweet sharing this story: This past legislative session we worked with the #Colorado senate president and other legislators on many issues important to our #steel workers & biz in #Pueblo. We will continue to do so. @evrazna is not involved […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Congressman Mike Coffman, who’s now running to be mayor of Aurora, and U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) sound like they are opposed to a red flag law, but if you listen carefully, you’ll hear that neither is shutting the door completely on the policy, which would allow judges to order […]
We’ve remarked on many occasions about the ability of Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) to use a lot of words to say absolutely nothing whatsoever. Gardner’s ability to string together gibberish sentences in response to any serious question is, frankly, quite remarkable. Gardner is a true pablum professional, and he is really upping his game as […]
With this morning’s official entry by former Gov. John Hickenlooper into the Democratic U.S. Senate primary to challenge American’s Most Vulnerable Senator™ Cory Gardner, a full-court-press campaign by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) hoping to persuade Hickenlooper to stay out of the race via insider surrogates and ulterior motive-laden pundit hot takes has failed. […]
As the Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reports, a federal court ruling today could result in historic changes to the role of presidential electors–a change giving them essentially the power to disregard the will of the electorate in choosing who to cast their Electoral College vote for: Colorado’s presidential electors do not have to vote for […]
(“You shall make no idols.” Love ya, irony! — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Groups on the religious right in Colorado have long pushed Republicans to embrace the Ten Commandments–and insert them in public life. The issue used to pop up in candidate questionnaires, like this one in 2010 from the Christian Family Alliance of Colorado, […]

Some day there will be an entire generation of Coloradans who don’t remember a time when Greg Lopez was not a candidate for statewide office. The former Mayor of Parker ran for U.S. Senate in 2016 (he dropped out of the race before he could fail to make the Primary ballot) and sought the GOP nomination for […]
UPDATE: Kudos to Joe St. George of Fox 31 News, who specifically asked Gardner about why he is not informing the public about his whereabouts. —– Former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley was in Colorado on Monday to headline a fundraiser for Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma), who faces a difficult re-election bid in 2020. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) During a recent stop in a Denver suburb, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) first bragged about getting a high bipartisanship ranking, and then he denounced the practice of simply sponsoring bills that have little or no hope of passage. That’s notable because his high bipartisanship ranking is based on co-sponsoring legislation […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican State House leader Patrick Neville (R-Castle Rock) is walking back his claim that he went to the White House last year after the Parkland massacre and convinced Trump not to support red-flag legislation, which would allow guns to be confiscated by people deemed dangerous by a judge. “I can’t say […]

As the Denver Post’s Sam Talabchnik reports: Colorado Democrats will get a chance to see U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in September when the freshman congresswoman headlines the annual Boulder County party fundraiser. Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., will be joined by Rep. Joe Neguse, a Democrat from Lafayette, at the 44th annual Truman Dinner on Sept. 21 at […]
A press release from the Animal Wellness Foundation last week celebrates the recent passage in the U.S. House of the Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act, a measure designed to prevent a particularly cruel practice against certain show horses: The PAST Act seeks to strengthen the Horse Protection Act and end the torturous, painful practice […]
(Law-breaking law enforcement? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Arapahoe-County area District Attorney George Brauchler says he doesn’t care if a business, like a movie theater, bans concealed weapons from the premises. He’s “happy” to violate the law and bring his concealed weapon into the theater anyway, he told Greeley’s KCOL guest host Karen Kataline Aug. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) As Trump is promising action on gun safety legislation, Colorado Republican House leader Patrick Neville of Castle Rock is taking credit for talking Trump out pushing a red flag bill in the wake of the 2018 Parkland, Florida, gun massacre. “Just about eighteen months ago, I went and visited the president […]
(We have nothing to add – Promoted by Colorado Pols) The question of whether it’s appropriate for women to wear pants is one you might expect to see while studying the beginnings of the feminist movement in the 19th century, but probably not in a 2019 race for a seat in Colorado’s House of Representatives. […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) made a 2020 re-election campaign stop in Minturn on Tuesday. It was not particularly inspiring, even by Gardner standards. As Nate Peterson captures for the Vail Daily, Gardner was asked some tough questions — for which he provided some very Gardner-esque non-answers. Check out this discussion: Joy Harrison, the former […]
The Colorado Sun reports on some surprising new polling data about Proposition CC and TABOR refunds in general: A survey conducted by Republican firm Magellan Strategies found that 54% of likely 2019 general election voters intend to approve Proposition CC, while 30% said they were going to reject the question. And 15% said they were […]
CNBC reports that they’re not working out so well for the nation’s bottom line: The U.S. budget deficit widened another $119.7 billion, good for a 27% increase over a year ago, according to government figures released Monday. Total outlays increased by 22.8% over last July as receipts grew 11.6%. For the year, receipts were up […]
(Republicans don’t win elections or pass legislation under Neville, but other than that he’s great! — Colorado Pols) Colorado Concern, one of the most influential business groups in the state, is no longer talking to the leader of the House Republicans. Minority Leader Patrick Neville (R-Castle Rock) says he’s been “cut off” by the powerful […]
In a recent Facebook post, Recall Jared Polis heralded its use of the SideKick app, stating, “We are putting the finishing touches on our custom app to track and verify recall petition signatures. Our goal is to shatter the record for the lowest signature rejection rate in Colorado history, and with you as a volunteer, […]
