It’s decision time in Colorado as primary election ballots hit mailboxes this week. Democrats will pick their candidates in every statewide race, and Republicans select candidates for governor and Attorney General. GOP operatives wanted to exclude unaffiliated voters from their selection, but U.S. District Judge Philip Brimmer knocked down that wish. The election ends June […]

Chaos Monkey, Inc., gave a trifle $20,000 donation to Rocky Mountain Way (RMW), the independent expenditure committee (IEC) supporting U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet for Colorado governor. But why, Coloradans should ask, would a guy who has assigned his contributor name in Colorado Secretary of State (SOS) records as Chaos Monkey, Inc., who has a beach-front […]

This primary election is poorly attended. Evidence is in the numbers. About 10% of active registered voters are deciding this year’s primaries with seven days to go. If that number triples by June 30, only 30% of voters will decide who will win in November. As of June 23, 440,000 voters have delivered their ballots […]
Let’s be clear about how Colorado’s primaries arrived at these unexpected results. The most significant voting cohorts on both the Democratic and Republican sides were women from 65 to 75-plus. These senior women voters selected Phil Weiser and have given Barb Kirkmeyer a chance. They may be on the farther side of their lives, but […]

Dick Wadhams, well known GOP strategist who put Bill Owens in the governor’s mansion, will turn over in his political grave if Victor Marx wins the Republican nomination for governor. The GOP will bury its conservative principles for good if Republican voters elect Marx over state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer. A Marx win will finish any […]

That’s contributions in all forms — dollars, in kind, loans, etc. — from December 2024 to now. Total expenditures just for advertising amount to $32.94 million. More to come for the general election.

While we’re in an election campaign lull between now and Labor Day, we have time to consider the impact of $102 million in campaign contributions in the primary. In the general election, more money will fill candidate campaign coffers, and from the looks of things, ballot initiatives will get plenty of attention as well. The […]

Elected school boards and the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) have hit the headlines with fired superintendents, superintendent resignations, failures of oversight, and misdirected dollars. Cherry Creek School District’s superintendent was fired. Jefferson County Schools’ superintendent found a less stressful job. CDE let $100 million fly out the door to Education reEnvisioned BOCES (ERBOCES) for faux […]
Colorado’s political future will go the way of this election. Historically, the state has not had both chambers controlled by a supermajority. This election may change that. The primaries suggest how the general election may play out. Democrats had solid voter turnout and unaffiliated voters leaned toward Dems. The party pulled in 404,132 unaffiliateds to […]
