Colorado’s ‘construction defects’ law explained

By Marissa Ventrelli | SOURCE: Colorado Politics Ask just about any Colorado legislator, regardless of party, what they believe to be one of the biggest issues facing the state and there's a high likelihood they will say housing. More specifically, state lawmakers are grappling with the lack of affordable units for first-time homebuyers due in part to the Construction Defect Reform Act, which has left developers vulnerable to costly lawsuits and the state with fewer housing options.  While current members of the Colorado General Assembly work to find a solution, one thing is certain, for the last two decades, construction on housing, such as condominiums, prime real estate for first-time home buyers, has decreased significantly, adding to a growing problem of affordability and a...

Republican Jeff Crank jumps in Colorado’s 5th CD primary to replace retiring US Rep. Doug Lamborn

By Ernest Luning | SOURCE: Colorado Politics The race to replace retiring Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado Springs is getting crowded. Conservative podcast host and political strategist Jeff Crank threw his hat in the GOP's 5th Congressional District primary on Wednesday, joining the state's Republican Party chairman and a long-serving state lawmaker, with more likely to emerge in coming weeks.

Similar protests took place in state legislatures in California and Arizona on their opening days earlier this week. The disruption prompted Sen. Julie Gonzales, a Denver Democrat who was part of a group of senators participating in a ministerial role in the House, to say lawmakers "don’t have the time to waste."

Veteran state lawmaker Bob Gardner joins GOP primary to succeed Doug Lamborn in Colorado’s 5th CD

By Ernest Luning | Source: Colorado Politics State Sen. Bob Gardner, a Colorado Springs Republican, told Colorado Politics late Tuesday that he is running for the seat held by retiring U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn. "I made the decision today that I’m a candidate for the Republican nomination for the 5th Congressional District," Gardner said in an exclusive interview. "We’re taking the steps to formally file a campaign in the next couple of days." The veteran state lawmaker said his legislative experience gives him an edge in what could be a crowded primary to replace Lamborn in the heavily Republican district, which coincides almost precisely with El Paso County.
