Cory Gardner Votes To Ban Abortion (Again)

That’s the word from Denver7’s Blair Miller: .@SenCoryGardner votes in favor of breaking filibuster to start debate on the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would ban abortions after 20 weeks in many cases. Bennet still hasn’t voted, but said earlier today he’d vote no. #copolitics — Blair Miller (@blairmiller) January 29, 2018 Despite […]

Poll: Colorado Voters Positively Loathe Cory Gardner

In late October 2017, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) sent out this Tweet about the “Upside Down world” that became a central plot point in the popular Netflix series Stranger Things. Gardner’s comment was an unintentionally-apt description of his own political fortunes; as far as public polling is concerned, Gardner is comfortably ensconced in his […]

Cory Gardner To DACA Kids: Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes

ABC News reporting from an interview with Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado yesterday, in which Gardner makes assurances to undocumented immigrants presently covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that we don’t think he has any ability to guarantee: “I don’t believe anybody is going to be deported,” [Pols emphasis] Gardner told ABC […]

Gardner Doesn’t Play “Shutdown Politics?” Is That a Joke?

USA TODAY’s Herb Jackson points out something really, really obvious that we haven’t seen noted anywhere else as Sen. Cory Gardner presents himself as a peacemaker in the high-stakes battle over a short-term continuing resolution to prevent a shutdown of the federal government as early as tonight: Sen. Cory Gardner could not have been clearer […]

Gardner Qualifies Threat To Hold Justice Department Nominees

Denver7’s Blair Miller reports after Sen. Cory Gardner’s much-anticipated meeting today with Attorney General Jeff Sessions about federal marijuana policy–as readers know, Sessions last week rescinded the Cole Memorandum that allowed for a hands-off approach to enforcement of federal law in states where marijuana is legalized. In response, Gardner announced a hold on all Justice […]

Top Ten Stories of 2017 #1: Cory Gardner’s Slow-Motion Career Crash

(Yeah, yeah, it’s January 10th. At least we finished this — Colorado Pols) How bad was 2017 for Cory Gardner? Consider this: When Gardner materialized in the Philippines in June glad-handing a murderous dictator, it wasn’t even the low point of his year. The biggest Colorado political story of 2017 was the slow-motion destruction of […]

Gardner Sets “High” Bar For Releasing Justice Nominees

Learning about Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ decision to rescind the Obama-era protections at the Justice Department that allowed individual states to legalize marijuana for medical and recreational use, Sen. Cory Gardner flew into a rage from the well of the U.S. Senate last week–threatening in explicit terms to hold up every nominee for the Department […]

Boulder Daily Camera Shreds Gardner’s Faux Weed Outrage

As we noted last week, Sen. Cory Gardner’s outrage over the decision by Attorney General Jeff Sessions to rescind Obama-era protections against a federal crackdown on marijuana in states that have legalized cannabis left un–or at least under–stated something very important: the fact that Gardner, alone among Colorado’s representatives in Washington, cast a key vote […]

Cory Gardner Doesn’t Want to Talk About Tax Bill

Earlier this week Congressional Republicans rammed through a tax plan that ranks as the most unpopular piece of legislation to pass through Capitol Hill in literally decades. Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Denver) opposed the measure — as did all Senate Democrats — and has not been shy about voicing his concerns. Colorado’s other Senator, Republican Cory Gardner, voted YES […]

It’s Not Too Early to Wonder About Cory Gardner in 2020

Colorado has had seven U.S. Senators since 1990. Three have been re-elected at least once: Democrat Republican Ben “Nighthorse” Campbell, Republican Wayne Allard, and Democrat Michael Bennet. As for the other four: Republican Hank Brown retired after one term, Democrat Ken Salazar left early to become Interior Secretary, and Democrat Mark Udall lost his bid for re-election in 2014 to Republican Cory […]
