Sean Duffy You have in your hand the ballot that has the most direct, immediate effect on your daily life. Odd-numbered years, like this one, are dubbed “off-year” elections where we pick local government officials and school board members. Because the daily focus in the media, and often in our conversations, is on the White…

Sean Duffy When you shoot a gun, make sure to clear the holster first. This would be a good lesson for House Republicans who, thinking they were firing on liberal hordes and rescuing the country, shot themselves and their agenda – again – square in the right foot.  The trigger man this time is the ethically challenged,…

Sean Duffy Coloradans on the center-right know in their gut liberals in positions of power are often intolerant of dissenting views and will work hard to silence those not toeing the line. Now there is a growing body of research to back up those gut feelings. Think of the litany of liberal attacks, just here…

Sean Duffy As fall takes hold in Colorado, and the day when ballots arrive in our mailboxes inches closer, the truth is taking bigger hits than the Broncos defense.  Take the cynically crafted, fundamentally dishonest Proposition HH, on the ballot this year, which claims to offer significant, sustained local property tax reductions while safeguarding tax…

Sean Duffy Colorado companies tied up by bureaucratic red tape are warning they’re going to cut themselves free from the bonds of progressive regulations and head for the first open door.

Sean Duffy Two words returned to the media in recent days that should raise the blood pressure of freedom-loving Coloradans: mask mandates. The arrival of two new COVID variants sparked nervous Nellie stories about whether it’s time for a return to public and private entities demanding we wear pieces of cloth or paper on our…

Sean Duffy In Colorado, the war on climate change is a total war – with little concern about collateral damage. Colorado, like many blue states, has a legislature so overcome with climate hysteria they overlook or ignore the effects on parts of our state’s population they claim to passionately support including working families, the poor and…

Sean Duffy How do you make Colorado liberals hopping mad? Dissent from their talking points and speak your mind.  This is the hotseat Gov. Jared Polis found himself on when he dared to say he and other Democrats view abortion as “bad” – this from one of the most aggressively pro-abortion governors in the country. …

Sean Duffy Where will Colorado conservatives draw a red line along the Front Range and stop the bleeding? The current and growing battleground is Douglas County, where liberals have scored some wins but also where center-right government focused on common-sense conservative solutions – standing up to progressive pushes – holds promise to persuade all-important unaffiliated…
