COULD COLORADO REPUBLICANS LOSE SAFE CONGRESSIONAL SEATS? We all know the party is a hot mess that can't raise any money and spends too much time attacking Republicans rather than Democrats. Jon Caldara writes about that here. Now with the carpet bagging of Lauren Boebert into a crowded primary field in the 4th Congressional district and the announcement by Doug Lamborn that he isn't seeking re election in the 5th, we've got a couple of wild cards to pay attention to. Businessman Jeff Hurd, who was primarying Boebert until she jumped ship, has a new opponent in noted Trumpet Ron Hanks, who is still running on a platform of a stolen election I'm assuming, as he's a one trick pony and that pony is sucking up to Trump. The Democrat in that race has raised over $7 MILLION, I'm guessing most of which is from out of state but that is going to be a big war chest. So who is going to run for Lamborn's seat? This column breaks down the players, but the one that sticks out to me is David Williams, the current Trumpet head of the Colorado GOP. He can't raise money for the party but he's going to raise money for a campaign? We could conceivably split the primary vote among reasonable and decent Republicans and nominate three of the most toxic Republicans I've ever seen. Sigh. I'm talking with former State Senator Greg Brophy about it today at 1:30.
It's no secret — Colorado's air quality is suffering, and last Friday regulators approved yet another new plan to address the state's biggest polluters.
