The Last Gasp of the Liberal Colorado Press

By Heidi Ganahl | Rocky Mountain Voice Gov. Jared Polis and his cronies are very mad that a real newsman is doing the job they refuse to do.

The Rocky Mountain Voice will share news from other reliable conservative voices in Colorado, as well as our own original ...

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice George Brauchler has qualified for a place on the Republican Party's primary ballot for district attorney in the 23rd Judicial District, the Secretary of State's office announced Wednesday, March 27, in an email.

He is the lone candidate to have petitioned for a place on the ballot in the new 23rd Judicial District.

Rep. Boebert discusses Congress, campaign during CD4 grassroots call

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert shared her criticism over a $1.2 trillion spending bill in Congress, offered her positions on a variety of issues, discussed the observance of Easter and detailed her campaign in Colorado's 4th District during a grassroots call Tuesday evening. "I am angry and very frustrated, but do not believe vacating [on Speaker Mike Johnston] is a thing to do," Boebert said, of the $1.2 trillion bill delivered to members with little time to consume. "We have a one-seat majority. We are stuck with him or we end up with [Democrat] Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker." Securing the border should be the top priority of Congress, she said. "A lot of us have ideas on what to do. What sets me apart from my opponents is I'm actually drafti...

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice Deborah Flora has become the second candidate to be ruled qualified for the U.S. House 4th District primary ballot, following a review of her petition signatures by the Colorado Secretary of State's office.

Jensen: Why conservative climate leadership is needed

By Sarah Jensen | Guest Columnist New findings from the University of Colorado Boulder’s Center for Environmental Futures suggest that by embracing a conservative approach to climate change, one that is pro-American and pro-innovation, the Republican Party can win over voters and ensure a cleaner, healthier future for all Americans. Specifically, the report found that the number of American voters concerned about climate change is becoming an increasing majority and that views on climate change were one of the strongest predictors of pro-Democratic voters in the 2020 general election, especially among Independents and younger generations. The authors discovered that voters who stated climate change was somewhat or very important represented 67% of voters in the 2020 election, 77%...

Everything you need to know about CD4’s special election to replace Ken Buck

Libertarian Party notes growth in relevancy, influence as state convention opens

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice COLORADO SPRINGS -- The relevancy of the Colorado Libertarian Party has advanced in the past year in several measurable ways, State Chairwoman Hannah Goodman said as she opened the party's annual state convention here Saturday. One of those measurements have been increased media exposure, she said, including on local TV programming. "We have had more press exposure than in a long time," she said. "There's no secret we have all been held hostage by the Democratic majority. What we sought to do is pressure both [major] parties to run solid liberty candidates." The intent, Goodman says, is to be a disruptor and run stonger candidates which could pull greater percentages of votes in general elections."We have become incredibly relevant," G...
