  • Sen. Cory Gardner
    COVERING FOR CORRUPTION PART THREE: SEN. CORY GARDNER A SPECIAL REPORT FROM THE CONGRESSIONAL INTEGRITY PROJECT Ensuring that public officials are working in the public interest is one of Congress’s most important responsibilities. But year after year, some lawmakers get it backwards: They attempt to distract the public from real corruption while they use their positions to enrich themselves and those close to them. Sen. Cory Gardner (R) of Colorado has a history of taking policy positions that benefit his wife’s business interests as a consultant and advocate for fossil fuels—and by extension, his family’s bottom line. This report, part three of our “Covering for Corruption” series, details how Sen. Gardner’s official actions overlap with entities Jaime Gardner has worked for or represented. For years, the Gardners have skirted ethics rules so that Jaime can profit off of fossil fuels while Cory boosts those same industries through official actions. While we do not know exactly how much the Gardners have profited from this arrangement, it reeks of the self-dealing that Washington insiders love but voters despise. And while his family profits, Cory Gardner uses his public platform to moralize against self-dealing. Gardner should come clean to his constituents about his intermingled public and private interests by disclosing his wife’s client lists and any overlap with industries that have business in front of the legislatives bodies he’s served in. We can’t force Gardner to act with integrity. But we can expose his record to stop him from misleading and manipulating voters.

Dauster* The right of United States Senators to debate without limit—and thus to filibuster—has characterized much of the Senate’s history. The Reid Pre- cedent, Majority Leader Harry Reid’s November 21, 2013, change to a sim- ple majority to confirm nominations—sometimes called the “nuclear option”—dramatically altered that right. This article considers the Senate’s right to debate, Senators’ increasing abuse of the filibuster, how Senator Reid executed his change, and possible expansions of the Reid Precedent.

Vernon, M.D. I wish to speak with you about the department 's re= arks on current licensing of the uranium mill tailings at Durango, Colorado. Dr. Vernon states in a December 29, 1978 letter to me that, ". .the current license for storage of the tailings at the site in Durango remains in ef fect. Requirements for main- " taining the current stabilization of the tailings, property access and annual reporting also re=ain in effect." My question to you is, why does Ranchers need a license just to leave the tailings where they are? Are you telling us that the tailings piles are inherently dangerous? In light of CDH's action of denying Ranchers' application to move the tailings, we feel the reference to licensing and stabilization is unnecessary and that any such efforts on our part would not be justified. We would appreciate an early response from your agency as to the rationale for any current licensing, stabilization, etc.

Cory Gardner holding an insignificant one point lead over first-term incumbent Mark Udall. In the race for Governor, incumbent John Hickenlooper holds a 7 point lead over former Congressman Bob Beauprez who is making his second run for this office. In the election for U.S. Senate, Colorado voters who are likely to cast a ballot next month divide their vote – 47% for Republican challenger Cory Gardner and 46% for Democratic incumbent Mark Udall. Another 4% say they will vote for a different candidate and 3% remain undecided. In the race for Colorado Governor, 50% of likely voters support Democratic incumbent John Hickenlooper and 43% support GOP challenger Bob Beauprez. Another 3% say they will vote for a different candidate and 4% remain undecided. All major party candidates have strong support among their partisan bases. Specifically, 93% of Democrats support Hickenlooper for governor and 92% support Udall for senator, while 85% of Republicans support Beauprez and 86% support Gardner. Independent voters in Colorado have a clearer preference for one office than they do for the other. Independent voters support Hickenlooper over Beauprez by a 53% to 35% margin in the race for governor, but split their vote for senator 43% for Udall and 42% for Gardner.
