Last August, at a gas station, I stood with Republican and conservative leaders across the state as we announced our Commitment to Colorado. Democrats and some in the media thought it was a joke that we held the conference at a gas station, where prices had risen exponentially over the course of one short year. […]

Littwin: Tina Peters visits Front Range without attempting to kick a single cop
There’s more news, if you can stand it, on Tina Peters, the embattled Mesa County clerk and Colorado’s most investigated Big Lie purveyor.

Littwin: It seems Doug Lamborn is always fighting off primary challengers. This time, the fight could be real.
The highlight of the troubling ethics report on Rep. Doug Lamborn’s family business — which, not coincidentally, seems to the same as his official, taxpayer-funded job as a U.S. congressman — has to be this quote credited to Lamborn’s wife, Jeanie: “If mama ain’t happy, nobody’s happy.” Well, here’s a guess.

Littwin: No one is surprised a second Boebert video turns up — still bigoted, but with slightly different details
I was going to write today about the spread of the potentially deadly omicron variant of COVID-19, but I’m afraid there’s another dangerous virus making its rounds — threatening Colorado, threatening America, threatening to normalize bigotry, threatening democracy itself — that also must be addressed.

Nicolais: Secretary of State candidate Pam Anderson gives Colorado GOP its best shot at a statewide office
A few days ago I received an unexpected call from Pam Anderson, the recently announced candidate for Secretary of State. As friends for more than 15 years, it was good to catch up.
