  • 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.

  • Colorado 2018 Primary Election Results and Analysis
    June 27, 2018 Colorado 2018 Primary Election Results and Analysis Colorado held its primary election last night, setting the stage for the November general election where Walker Stapleton (R) and Jared Polis (D) will compete to replace term-limited Gov. John Hickenlooper (D). In all the statewide races, substantially more votes were cast in Democratic primary contests than in Republican races. Figures from the secretary of state’s office indicate that, as of midnight, 1,158,700 voters had returned their mail-in ballots, a number that represents more than 30 percent of the state’s total registered voters. Ballots are still being processed, with July 5 being the last day for military and overseas ballots to arrive and the last day for a voter to cure a missing signature or signature discrepancy. Even without the final numbers, it is clear that voter turnout was up significantly from the 2016 primary election when only 21 percent of the electorate participated—an all-time low. This year’s high primary turnout was due in part to Colorado’s new law allowing unaffiliated voters to participate for the first time. Of the 1,158,700 ballots tallied thus far, 280,958 were cast by unaffiliated voters, 412,411 by Republicans and 465,331 by Democrats. Ballots cast in the Democratic primary for governor exceeded those cast in the Republican primary by more than 100,000. This difference was consistent in congressional and state legislative races as well. In a state with voter registration roughly even among Republican, Democrat and unaffiliated voters, this trend is notable and may reflect intensity.

First of all, nobody has a bigger heart, nobody did better work on behalf of the natural resources of this amazing country of ours, nobody has been a better friend to me than the person who just introduced me. Love him dearly. We came into the Senate together, and our lives have crossed paths ever since, and I'm so very, very proud of him and Hope. So please give Ken Salazar a big round of applause. To Maggie Fox and Tess Udall, thank you for putting up with somebody in politics. [Laughter] That's always rough, but you do it with grace, and we're so grateful to you.

As we reflected on 2010-2011, we noticed a thread that was woven throughout all of our programs—the thread of energetic innovation. The late Steve Jobs, former CEO and co- founder of Apple, is quoted as saying, “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” In order for the Leadership Foundation to effectively carry out its mission of providing content, context and access to inspire leadership, it has made innovation a top priority, taking the initiative to introduce new programs, processes and content that broaden our perspective, provide an even stronger platform for dialogue and elevate our overall effectiveness at inspiring and educating our community’s leaders. One of the year’s brightest highlights was the launch of Colorado Experience’s pilot program. For many years, the Leadership Foundation has imagined bringing the Leadership Exchange program to a local level, and it was thanks to the strong support of our board of directors and hard work of the Colorado Experience committee that we made this vision into a reality with a trip to Colorado Springs.
