  • Pro-ballot initiative coalition targets Amdt 71, will sue secretary of state

    The Colorado ballot initiative that made it more difficult for residents in the state to pass ballot initiatives has drawn a lawsuit.

  • Highlight reel: Colorado’s wild and woolly 2016 election season

    Symbolic of the divisiveness of our politics, many Coloradans will look back at the 2016 election with violent contempt, reflecting on a political year that saw the rise of President-elect Donald Trump, while others will reminisce with sublime glee over a cycle where voters bucked the political establishment. In a year full of tectonic shifts…

    Webb: Looking back on Election 2016

    As we begin to digest the 2016 election results, let me begin with our successes. First, I want to congratulate Denver voters on our 80 percent turnout, which is outstanding.

  • ColoradoCare runs into objections as Congress seeks Obamacare reform

    The Obama administration recently gave an unintentional boost to opponents of government-subsidized health care, such as Colorado’s proposed amendment for universal health insurance that failed voters’ approval this week.

  • Cheers, jeers at Colorado GOP election night party

    In an odd situation reminiscent of the 2016 election cycle, U.S. Rep.

    Brown: Politics is local; why I care about the Colorado Senate

    When it comes to politics, seemingly all of the attention this year is focused on the presidential election. While the outcome of the presidential race is important, the reality is that local and statewide elections have a far greater impact on our day to day lives. This year, the stakes couldn’t be higher. In January…


  • ? The effectiveness of ballot issue TV ads is iffy

    Story Updated: 11/4/2016 at 12:34 p.m. All those political TV ads we’ve been watching for what seems like an eternity are almost over, but what have they accomplished? That’s the big question only Colorado voters can definitively answer as they cast their ballots in the Nov. 8 general election. Not counting the races for various offices, state…

  • Letter: Amendment 69 is an opportunity for change

    Letter: Amendment 69 is an opportunity for change

    Editor: I support ColoradoCare, or Amendment 69, because it will provide access to affordable, quality health care for all Coloradans. This matters to the families of Coloradans who die each year because they don’t have health insurance; to those declaring bankruptcy because they can’t pay medical bills; to those who pay ever higher premiums for…
