UPDATE #2: Colorado Community Media's Jane Reuter: Gessler asked for support from other conservatives to knock on doors, and said he also would have some paid opportunities. As Secretary of State, Gessler is charged with overseeing and administering Colorado’s election code, voter registration and campaign finance laws. Gessler’s political director did not respond directly when […]
As the Colorado Statesman's Peter Marcus reports–you might not agree, but be aware of this spin: Motivated by a grassroots uprising this summer that ousted two sitting Democratic state senators, proponents of a ballot initiative that would ask voters in 2014 to define an unborn child as a “person” say they are likely to target […]
Roll Call's Kent Cooper reports: The first two of possibly 31 members of Congress have returned and filed a travel report on a wonderful and free trip to Dublin, Ireland, for themselves and a guest. The gifts of free travel were estimated by the paying sponsors to cost between $6,875 and $11,903 for each person… […]
The GOP successor candidate in the SD-11 recall special election, former Colorado Springs city councilor Bernie Herpin, is pushing back angrily against the accusation that he is a supporter of the so-called "Personhood" abortion bans that have failed in Colorado over several consecutive election cycles. As the Colorado Independent noted updating their report on the […]
Over the weekend, the editorial board of the Denver Post weighed in on the Gubernatorial candidacy of Republican Tom Tancredo, who surprised many last week by throwing his hat in the ring for 2014. And what did the Post have to say? Well, they're about as excited for another Tancredo candidacy as a kid who […]
There are 65 members of the Colorado House of Representatives, and 35 members of the Colorado State Senate. The Colorado legislature as a whole is a representative body, with each Senator representing about 143,691 constituents, and each House member standing for 77,372 Coloradans. The Colorado Constitution outlines the makeup and duties of the state legislature, […]
Periodically we have run a "mailbag" at Colorado Pols, generally dubbed "Ask Alva." We put out the call for questions in late March, and now we give you the answers. For our next "Ask Alva" feature, we expect you to do a lot better with the questions. We had a lot about technical problems (we're […]
There are 10 U.S. Senators who were first elected in 2008 and are running for re-election in 2014. Three of those incumbents are in states considered safe for their respective political party (Delaware and New Mexico for Democrats; Idaho for Republicans). Of the remaining seven seats, all but one have a likely or declared opponent and/or recent […]
I blogged a few weeks ago about the need for media types to smoke out the views of state politicians on federal immigration reform.
So it was good to see extensive local coverage of a bipartisan initiative by Sen. Michael Bennet laying out the broadest of principles for immigration reform, like the humanitarian notion that U.S. immigration policy should “prioritize” keeping families together. That is, “where possible.”
The “where possible” caveat symbolizes the document, called the “Colorado Compact.” If the call to “prioritize” wasn’t sufficiently vague, it had to be clouded further with the phrase “where possible.” And there’s no comment on whether immigrant families should be kept together in the U.S. or deported juntos.
Top to bottom, the document is void of details, like how big a fence might be built, if a path to citizenship is essential, and if immigrant kids can get Pell grants, much less the same college-tuition rates offered to American-born kids.
Every 10 years Colorado is without a high-profile statewide election (U.S. Senate, Governor, AG, Treasurer, Sec. of State), and we’re damn glad to see that election cycle in our rear-view mirror. That’s five whole races that we couldn’t pontificate about in the 2012 cycle.
Take a look at left to see the first version of The Big Line: 2014. The first new Big Line of the cycle is usually more question than answer, but steady losses by Republicans in 2010 and 2012 have narrowed down considerably the list of potential 2014 candidates.
Click after the jump for a brief rundown of the who and why in The Big Line: 2014.
