With the GOP-controlled House and Democratic-held Senate going their separate ways on competing “compromise” congressional redistricting maps, FOX 31’s Eli Stokols reports: With neither side happy with the other’s latest maps, Republicans are planning to pass their map in the GOP-controlled House while Democrats pass theirs in the Senate where they have the majority. Both […]
Former State Republican Party Chair Dick Wadhams wasn’t unemployed for long. According to a stunning press release sent out this morning, Wadhams has been named Deputy Political Advisor to Governor John Hickenlooper. A press conference has been scheduled for this afternoon, but as the release explains: The office of Gov. John Hickenlooper today announced that […]
In more ways than one, obviously. Boigon’s prepping to launch a new TV buy, and she’s doing her best to imitate her elected predecessor:
After all, who could forget Hickenlooper’s skydiving ad in support of Ref C?
Mark our words, though, Boigon is no Hickenlooper. Hick could get away with these charming ads for his mayoral campaign, Ref C, and his eventual Gubernatorial campaign because of who he was. He came off like your good-natured if goofy next door neighbor. He was approachable in the way you’d want your Mayor to be. His boyish charm made these ads a hit.
In developing ads like these, Boigon clearly wants to paint herself as a Mayor in the spirit of Hickenlooper. Unfortunately, that invitation to see her as a continuation of the Hick years might do more harm than good.
Boigon just isn’t approachable the way Hickenlooper is. Those who know her best would be the first to describe her as an “old school” type of politician; she expects respect for her title and positions. And unlike Hick, who gained financial success from what was first a small business, Boigon doesn’t exactly come off as an entrepreneur.
These ads naturally compare Carol to John. It’s what they were written for. But that’s why this ad in particular seems so odd: it’s like the rich woman your boyish neighbor used to mow lawns for suddenly wants to look cool. At least she didn’t jump out of the plane, though.
As the Colorado Independent’s Joseph Boven reports: Gov. John Hickenlooper signed his first seven bills into law today and said he was not yet on board with Sen. Rollie Heath’s tax increase ballot initiative. Hickenlooper said that while he had not made any promises on the campaign trail, he said he had been pretty clear […]
We have to admit this wasn’t what we expected, as the Durango Herald’s Joe Hanel reports: Republican legislators said Thursday they will try to repeal the state’s ‘Amazon tax’ after a judge temporarily blocked it. Gov. John Hickenlooper, meanwhile, said he thinks Internet retailers should pay the same taxes as local merchants… “A full repeal […]
Our friends at KDVR report: Under sunny skies and with temperatures in the low single digits, John Hickenlooper took oath of office as Colorado’s 42nd governor Tuesday morning. “I could not be more humbled to be your governor and I am deeply, deeply grateful,” Hickenlooper told a large crowd of elected officials, media and observers […]
Today’s release from Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper after the jump–Henry Sobanet, who some will recognize as former GOP Gov. Bill Owens’ budget director, has been appointed to fill the same position in Hickenlooper’s administration. Sobanet is credited as a key negotiator for 2005’s Referendum C, experience that will certainly help the new administration in today’s much […]
According to a press release from the office of Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper (full release after the jump): Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper announced today Sen. Al White will be Director of the Colorado Tourism Office and Joan Henneberry will be the Healthcare Exchange Planning Grant Project Director. White is a businessman from Winter Park who served eight […]
Full press release after the jump, but here’s the meat: Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper announced today Ken Lund will be his Chief Legal Counsel. Lund is now the firmwide Managing Partner of Holme Roberts & Owen in Denver and is responsible for the articulation, development and implementation of the law firm’s client service and engagement strategy. […]
Vacancy Committee, assemble! According to a press release from Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper: Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper announced today Rep. Christine Scanlan will join his senior leadership team as Director of Legislative Affairs and Strategic Initiatives. Scanlan will lead the administration’s legislative strategy and help oversee statewide initiatives on issues such as economic development, education reform, I-70 […]
