NEW: CO GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx is soliciting unlimited contributions, appearing to openly defy campaign finance law Campaign finance attorneys call Marx's plan unprecedented and "patently illegal" Marx's campaign won't say where the money is going www.9news.com/article/news...

Good morning! I’m in Lakewood for Colorado Christian University’s Western Conservative Summit. It’s like a convention for every group I’ve covered in the last 5 years…

Today: CO GOP gubernatorial nominee Victor Marx says he's skipping the Club 20 Western Slope candidate debate. 8yrs ago: the Republican Govs Association was furious over Polis' decision to do the same.

INBOX: Former AG candidate David Seligman's nonprofit law firm Towards Justice & faith advocates Together Colorado sue Hudson over new ICE facility- asking court to order town to require what it would normally: a permit & a public hearing. "The Town has the authority and the obligation to act.”

Good morning! I’m at the ENT Center for the Arts in Co Springs for today’s appeal hearing of the Project Taurus data center.

With the AP calling the Colorado GOP gubernatorial primary for Victor Marx, you may want to know more about the ministry leader turned first-time candidate. Check out @beedle.bsky.social's story from April:

'Marxism' Muddles the GOP Governor Primary

The Republican gubernatorial primary is down to three candidates: Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer (R-Weld County), Rep. Scott Bottoms (R-CO Springs), and ministry leader Victor Marx. Kirkmeyer has already carved ...

Sooo… There is a Customs and Border Protection Job Fair in Co Springs today, and a protest by the loval Migra Watch Chapter.

Sure the USMNT lost but hey, at least Lalas is still the critic's favorite to win a Rory.

INBOX: Far-right gun group RMGO claims credit for three CO statehouse wins (and a DougCo commish) by more conservative candidates. One race, HD60, isn't official yet. They cite over $2M in spending by "left-leaning mega donors," referring to establishment GOP dark money IECs.

As someone who pays excruciating attention to Republican election deniers, I can say that within the CO GOP, the "vote-in-person-on-election-day-only" block is not insubstantial. More of them will go to Bottoms than Marx, but very few will go to Kirkmeyer.

As Coloradans cast and count and report ballots (now over a million votes' worth), nearly all using mail ballots accurately tabulated on electronic voting machines, the state's most famous and least remorseful election denier visits the White House.

Freedom Fest Day 2! Smells like horse 💩

Good morning! I’m in Castle Rock for Day 1 of the Rocky Mountain Voice Freedom Festival.

Election denier Tina Peters is joining the RMV festival later this month. She's speaking the same day as Republican Attorney General candidate Michael Allen, who recently posted that as District Attorney, "we actively investigate and prosecute election fraud, and we’ve held bad actors accountable."

Stephen Collier, the Republican chair of the HD43 Central Committee, has resigned from his position and from the Republican Party, citing Trump’s involvement in the primary against Thomas Massie and the controversy over the release of the Epstein files. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2026/06/prom...

This really thorough deep-dive from @lawfaremedia.org into J6 participants' subsequent crimes features our CTR story on Tim Arvidson, whose post-J6 activities included running for office, leading a local election commission, and being arrested for murder.

NEW: A stunning new project from @lawfaremedia.org's @katherinepomps.bsky.social finds that 97 Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the Capitol riot then got arrested, charged, and/or convicted with subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.

Learned some new (to me) #copolitics trivia today from Barb Kirkmeyer's during her interview on Peter Boyles. Twenty years ago, Bob Beauprez's infamous horse ad was filmed at her mom's farm.

This Berthoud Surveyor interview with Congressman Gabe Evans is from Wednesday. The gas price chart is today's. If Evans is to be believed, it would appear he hasn't filled up since sometime in March.

Two Republicans (and one ex-Republican) running for #COGov took the stage in Parker Weds night to pitch mass deportations, jailing the attorney general, and abolishing property taxes. The GOP fundraising leader skipped the forum to do his own livestream, so we reported on that too. #copolitics
