  • Guns, Grass, and God's Wrath, Colorado's Budget, Politics, and Elections
    Guns, Grass, and God’s Wrath, Colorado’s Budget, Politics, and Elections Michael J. Berry University of Colorado, Denver I. Introduction At the 2014 Democratic Party Assembly, incumbent Governor John Hickenlooper lamented that no “other state in the union . has been through as much as Colorado has in the past couple of years.” His statement was an implicit reference to a number of recent tragedies in the state. Among the most prominent were the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting, the callous murder of Department of Corrections director Tom Clements in his home in early 2013, and the most dev- astating forest fires and floods to ever hit the state in June and September 2013. Hickenlooper’s statement on the uniqueness of the state, however, could just as easily apply to the state’s politi- cal realm. Colorado received considerable notoriety from the commencement of recreational marijuana sales on January 1, 2014. In a carefully staged photo opportunity, Iraq war veteran, Sean Azzariti, made the first legal recreational marijuana purchase as the state embarked on a grand social ex- periment. The prior year witnessed the first recall elections in state history resulting in the re- moval of two Democratic legislators from office including Senate President John Morse. An ad- ditional state senator facing a strong recall effort resigned under pressure. These highly charged campaigns to remove legislators were in response to the enactment of several controversial gun control laws. The legalization of recreational marijuana and the fight over gun control grabbed the lion’s share of headlines in the state over the past year.

  • Chris Hansen, Gardner for Senate General Consultant Date: June 30, 2020 Re: Gardner Set to Face “Hot Mess” Hickenlooper in General Election ______
    To: Interested Parties From: Chris Hansen, Gardner for Senate General Consultant Date: June 30, 2020 Re: Gardner set to face “hot mess” Hickenlooper in general election ____________________________________________________________________________ Today is Election Day in Colorado and Senator Cory Gardner will finally have an opponent. Although we fully expect John Hickenlooper to win tonight, he will emerge a bruised and battered candidate. His once-pristine reputation is tarnished. His glass jaw is fully exposed. And we haven't even started yet. John Hickenlooper is the worst candidate in the country One thing is clear, John Hickenlooper is the worst senate candidate in the country - in either party. Not counting his embarrassment of a presidential campaign, this primary was the first significant challenge in his political career and it was a complete disaster, requiring a multi-million dollar bailout in the form of a flood of last-minute ads from Chuck Schumer to prop him up. Just look at the last 30 days of headlines for Chuck Schumer’s number one recruit: ● AP NEWS: ‘A hot mess’: Hickenlooper stumbles into Democratic primary ● CO SUN: John Hickenlooper apologizes for 2014 “ancient slave ship” comment ● THE HILL: '#DropOutHick': Outcry from Indigenous women, allies over Hickenlooper in red face ● CPR: ‘Disrespect For The Rule Of Law’: Colorado Ethics Commission Holds Hickenlooper In Contempt For Skipping Hearing ● DENVER POST: John Hickenlooper violated ethics laws twice in 2018, commission finds ● CBS4 DENVER: Corporate Donations To Colorado Governor’s Office Raise ‘All Sorts Of Red Flags’ ● NPR: 1 Of Democrats' Top Senate Recruits Stumbles Amid Protests Recall that this primary was the easy path for Hickenlooper.

Cigna led our industry’s response by taking decisive action to eliminate cost as a barrier to COVID-19 testing and treatment and by expanding access to care. We also launched our Customer Protection Program to further safeguard customers from unexpected costs for COVID-19 care, and we developed our COVID-19 High-Risk Dashboard to support employers’ safe return-to-work plans. As we worked to make a difference throughout the crisis, we also continued to advance our vision to transform the health care system by making it more affordable, predictable and simple for those we serve. Our efforts were not only evident through the products and services we brought to market in 2020 but also through our advocacy efforts in the area of public policy.
