UPDATE #9: Rep. Ken Buck, who was good enough to show up to work today, warns after three failed ballots that Kevin McCarthy is more likely to lose support in successive rounds of voting than turn things around: A warning sign for Kevin McCarthy: Conservative supporter Rep. Ken Buck told us he believes that it […]
Just one of several convergent storylines around the issue of abortion rights that we’ll be discussing in our ongoing recap of the top stories in Colorado politics for 2022 is the legislation passed this year by the Colorado General Assembly expressly codifying abortion rights into statute. This legislation was forced by the widely-expected and since-fulfilled […]
Hannah Metzger of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports on a changing of the guard in Adams County, as Democratic stalwart Rep. Adrienne Benavidez resigns from her House District 35 seat: Though she didn’t mention her reason for resigning in the letter, Benavidez spoke on the increasing number of Latino lawmakers in the legislature.

UPDATE: The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul: Burton Brown, a lawyer who got her start in politics as an anti-abortion advocate, took the helm at the Colorado Republican Party in March 2021 when the state GOP was at its lowest point since 1936.

Since that time, secessionists in Oregon have enjoyed somewhat greater success, with a […]
Sandra Fish of The Colorado Sun outlined today some big-picture campaign spending takeaways from state races in Colorado, with the main takeaway being that Gov. Jared Polis was the biggest spender of them all in 2022. You can argue about what Polis’ self-funding means in relation to elections and campaign finance norms and whatnot, but […]
As the Pueblo Chieftain’s Anna Lynn Winfrey reports, a proposed ordinance in Pueblo that would have banned abortions in that city, modeling a local ordinance that has spread in other states lacking Colorado’s recently-passed robust abortion rights protections, is dead after a 4-3 vote to indefinitely table the measure: Council President Heather Graham, Vicente Martinez […]
FOX 31’s Gabrielle Franklin reported last night on the controversy brewing in Pueblo over an anti-abortion city ordinance nominally introduced by recently-elected City Councillor Regina Maestri, but under the hood the brainchild of a Texas-based anti-abortion rabblerouser who participated in the January 6th, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol: “There’s an ordinance that had just […]

The Colorado Sun: The city is still trying to learn […]
