Dozens of Colorado nonprofits are funding direct cash programs they say have led to economic stability for individuals and families.

Opinion: A new year, a new Congress, and a new chance to pass banking legislation for the cannabis industry

by Mara Sheldon 1:30 AM MST on Jan 22, 20235:55 PM MST on Jan 20, 2023

Gov. Polis and Republican governors support it. The Colorado delegation supports it. Schumer supports it. Will the GOP-led House get on board?

by Sandra Fish 4:20 AM MST on Jan 16, 20233:24 PM MST on Jan 15, 2023

The top donors gave mostly to Republican candidates and causes

Opinion: Time for Dreamers like me is running out

by Estéfani Peña Figueroa 1:30 AM MST on Dec 21, 202211:54 AM MST on Dec 20, 2022

Unless Congress creates a pathway to citizenship soon, Colorado will lose thousands of workers and hundreds of millions of dollars of economic activity.

Race between Lauren Boebert, Adam Frisch was most expensive 2022 Colorado congressional contest per vote cast

by Sandra Fish 4:20 AM MST on Dec 12, 20225:35 PM MST on Dec 9, 2022

Boebert spent nearly $43 per vote, while Frisch spent $32. That’s more than the $16 per vote Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet spent successfully defending his seat against Republican Joe O’Dea, who spent $9 per vote.

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

Candidates in tight races bite their nails, journalists dig into their third cup of coffee, and armchair politicos rabidly refresh Twitter as we all try to figure out the same thing: What exactly happened last night?

Littwin: How big did Democrats win in Colorado? Just ask Lauren Boebert.

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.

Michael Bennet speaking.

Michael Bennet elected to his third U.S. Senate term as Colorado voters reject Republican Joe O’Dea

by Jesse Paul, Sandra Fish and Delaney Nelson 8:11 PM MST on Nov 8, 20229:44 PM MST on Nov 8, 2022

If Bennet, a Democrat, serves his full six-year term he will become Colorado’s longest-serving U.S. senator in the century since state legislatures stopped selecting senators

Littwin: It’s a fool’s game to try to predict the midterms, except in formerly purple Colorado. The question is why.

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

Since the Trump era began, political predictions have become so much less reliable. The 2022 race for Senate control is just one more case in point.

Posted inOpinion Columns

Littwin: Joe O’Dea is not just running against Michael Bennet. He’s also made Colorado a 2024 GOP battleground.

by Mike Littwin 3:06 AM MDT on Oct 26, 20221:13 PM MDT on Oct 25, 2022

Trump tells his MAGA base not to vote for the GOP Senate candidate. DeSantis says the base should back O’Dea. And so it begins.
