by Sandra Fish 3:41 AM MST on Dec 15, 20229:47 AM MST on Dec 15, 2022

Polis spent more than $12 million to win a second term as governor. The next biggest spender was Total Wine & More, which spent slightly less on a ballot measure.

by Mike Littwin 3:03 AM MST on Dec 14, 20222:10 PM MST on Dec 13, 2022

by Mario Nicolais 3:02 AM MST on Nov 13, 202212:51 PM MST on Nov 12, 2022

After losing every statewide race by eight points or more — and losing even more seats in the legislature — it is time to pronounce the Colorado GOP officially deceased

Colorado’s 2022 election, as told through photos

by The Colorado Sun 2:43 PM MST on Nov 9, 202212:22 PM MST on Nov 10, 2022

by Mike Littwin 12:20 AM MST on Nov 9, 202212:20 AM MST on Nov 9, 2022

Late in the night, Boebert’s race with Adam Frisch was too close to call in what was a Colorado Dem tsunami. Nationally, GOP is competitive, but a red wave never materialized.

by Mike Littwin 3:02 AM MDT on Nov 2, 202212:52 PM MDT on Nov 1, 2022

by Tamara Chuang 3:24 AM MDT on Oct 24, 20228:03 AM MDT on Oct 25, 2022

Ganahl cited a Republican-led analysis to reach that 16% figure. Bureau of Labor Statistics puts inflation at 7.7%. Here’s where the discrepancy comes from.

by Diane Carman 3:02 AM MDT on Oct 16, 20222:22 PM MDT on Oct 14, 2022
