Awful to see this happening to the people who help bring local news to all parts of Colorado and a huge problem with media conglomerates that don't invest in the local communities. The Chieftain should be printed in Pueblo. #copolitics
Bad news: Gannett has announced that they're shutting down print production at The Pueblo Chieftain, effective August 13, 2023. The paper will be printed at The Denver Post print facility. 51 people are losing their jobs. Here's a statement from our union.

Today is National Voter Registration Day! Keeping a Democratic majority in the House is critical to moving our state forward - and that starts with you voting. Are you registered to vote? Visit coloradosos.gov to register today, or to update your registration.
“I do not agree with abortions for any reason,” Shaw wrote, “even to save the mother’s life.” We can't let her beat a pro-choice champion like Rep. Barbara McLachlan. #copolitics
Across the country, GOP candidates are trying to distance themselves from their previous anti-abortion views to avoid post-Roe backlash at the ballot box. In southwestern Colorado, Shelli Shaw is not following their lead. #copolitics #coleg ow.ly/yEQf50KJEwR

.@ShelliShaw talking at Club 20 about how she wants to import the abortion laws from her home state of Texas, including a ban in cases of rape and incest. Wow. #copolitics

We are disgusted, but unsurprised, that for the second week in a row, a @cologop legislative candidate has spouted blatantly racist comments. The GOP has continued to silently condone this bigotry. We cannot stand by & allow the GOP take back the House. The stakes are too high.

Racism and hate have no place in Colorado. Period. @Junie4Colorado will be a wonderful legislator for Boulder and the state. We are lucky to have her leadership. DeOreo should be ashamed and @cologop leaders should finally stand up to extremists in their party.
These are comments by a current @cologop candidate about his opponent. The GOP has not denounced this blatant racism. #copolitics coloradonewsline.com/briefs/…

The SCOTUS decision on Roe is horrifying and will harm millions of Americans. Colorado's Legislature recognized this threat & worked hard to protect abortion access and reproductive health care. Dems will continue to reject any attempt to undermine abortion rights. #copolitics

The GOP circular firing squad continues, led again by the @RMGunOwners and their quest to purge the party of folks like @hmckean who don't push right-wing conspiracies. #coleg #copolitics

Remember like 6 months ago when the Colorado GOP had that weird gas station press conference to tell everyone they've changed? They haven't changed. #copolitics
Here's the failed amendment from #coleg debate urging Congress to pass Voter Rights Legislation. Amendment was to thank GOP State Rep. Ron Hanks (GOP U.S. Senate candidate) & others for being in D.C. on Jan 6. GOP Votes: 16 Yes 5 No 3 excused, including Hanks #copolitics

Our essential workers face the worst of the pandemic and show up every day to make sure Colorado can function and thrive. Stand with them as they stand up for better working conditions and pay. #copolitics

Less than a month passed between the @cologop gas station press conference where they talked about how to win unaffiliated voters and their Vice Chair signing a letter to lock those voters out of primaries. Life comes at you fast... #copolitics
Colorado GOP, Monday: "You can trust us, Colorado, we've changed! Look at our slick handout." Colorado GOP, Wednesday: "Here's several of our electeds with the MyPillow guy & the guy behind Qanon. Also maybe we're gonna lock unaffiliated voters out of our primary." #copolitics

"We discriminate against the rich and wealthy" - Richard Holtorf The guy who called a fellow representative "Buckwheat" just had the gall to say that we discriminate against the wealthy. Unreal. Absolutely unreal. #coleg #copolitics
Can anyone tell Ron Hanks that his encounters with the media are due to him doing things like attending the Jan 6th insurrection or saying things that are insanely racist? He knows that when he's speaking at the well that it's all recorded and public, right? #copolitics #coleg

It's hilarious to hear the @RMGunOwners leader try to flex his SuperPAC during a committee hearing on expanding background checks. Y'all lose more than the Jets. #copolitics #coleg

More awesome work from the #coleg Dems to help Colorado kids succeed. Early childhood education is one of the best ways to make sure kids have a head start on success and are prepared for a great job when they leave school. #copolitics
It's time to put children and families first! #COLeg #COPolitics
Yikes.
Colorado State Rep Richard Holtorf (R-Akron) referred to a colleague as “Buckwheat,” leading to a heated exchange and brief recess of the House. #coleg #copolitics #9News
