|
"What's Down Ballot Day?", you ask? Former U.S. House Speaker Tip O'Neill used to say "All politics is local", and he couldn't be more right. While offices like the U.S. Senate and the Presidency get the most airtime, the offices that have the biggest immediate impact on your life are the ones that don't get talked about! Down Ballot Day is an opportunity to learn about how four specific local offices impact you, why you should care about who gets elected to those offices, and (most importantly) why you should vote for them!
Sign up for our four virtual panels to learn about how the offices of CU Regent, State Board of Education, District Attorney, and Colorado Legislature from esteemed guests! |

The "Thumbs Down" Heard Around the Country 3 Years Since John McCain Saved the ACA from Trump, Gardner, and Republicans |
|
|
Three years ago, on July 28, 2017, Senator John McCain cast his historic ‘thumbs down’ vote to block Donald Trump, Cory Gardner, and Republicans’ efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA). But even in the middle of a global pandemic, Trump, Gardner, and other Colorado Republicans are still pushing to destroy the ACA and threatening protections for over 2 million Coloradans with pre-existing conditions.
We released the following statement from party chair Morgan Carroll:
“Three years after the late Senator John McCain put country over party and saved healthcare for millions of Coloradans, Donald Trump and his enablers like Cory Gardner, Doug Lamborn, and Ken Buck are still waging their crusade against Coloradans’ healthcare -- even in the middle of the worst public health crisis in generations.
“Make no mistake -- Coloradans’ healthcare is on the ballot in November. Senator Cory Gardner has built his career trying to rip healthcare from Coloradans, and not even a global pandemic has stopped him. If Lauren Boebert gets elected, we know she will work to repeal the ACA without a replacement and rip healthcare away from hundreds of thousands of hardworking people in CD3 when they need it most. If Doug Lamborn and Ken Buck get re-elected, they’ll continue to put Donald Trump’s wishes over their districts’ and fight tooth and nail to destroy the ACA.
“Colorado families can’t afford more years of leaders hellbent on ripping away coverage and spiking costs -- they want leaders who will work to protect our healthcare and lower costs for everyone across our state. That’s why Colorado will reject Trump and his Republican enablers’ horrific health care agenda come November.” |

Local Candidates of the Week |
|
.jpeg "Image")
|
Candidate: Lisa Neal-Graves https://www.lisanealgraves.com/
Office Running for: Douglas County Commissioner (D2)
Why this matters: Douglas County has long been a Republican stronghold, but it's turning bluer! By electing Lisa to Douglas County's 3-member county commissioner board (that's currently run by Republicans), real change can happen at the most local level!
|
|
|
Candidate: Jennifer Mitkowski https://www.jennforcolorado.com/
Office Running for: State House (House District 43)
Why this matters: This seat is currently held by Republican Kevin Van Winkle, who currently serves as the Assistant Minority Leader. This normally red district is turning bluer, with Van Winkle only winning by only about 3,700 votes. Flipping this seat would expand the House Dem majority, and make sure Patrick Neville stays OUT of the House Speaker's office!

VEEP Selection To Be Announced?? |

Biden says he will choose his running mate next week From CNN
Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden said Tuesday he will choose his vice presidential running mate next week.
The former vice president's comment came during a news conference after a speech in Wilmington, Delaware. Asked by CNN whether he will meet in person with finalists for the role, Biden said, "We'll see."
Biden has said he will choose a female running mate, and has faced pressure within the party to choose a woman of color. His campaign's vetting process has played out amid the coronavirus pandemic, making meetings that could allow Biden to better get to know those being considered more difficult.
Noting that news crews were stationed outside his home in Delaware, Biden joked that he is "going to try to figure out how to trick you all so I can meet with them in person."
"I don't think it matters, actually," he said.
Shortly after clinching the Democratic nomination, Biden had targeted the beginning of August to select a running mate. On Tuesday, he said the selection will come in the first week of August.
His comments on Tuesday did not indicate when Biden will publicly announce his selection. But it is all but certain he will do so before the Democratic National Convention kicks off August 17 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Two of Biden's former primary rivals, California Sen. Kamala Harris and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, are said to be under consideration for the Democratic ticket.
Others who have been considered include former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice, Florida Rep. Val Demings, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, California Rep. Karen Bass, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth and Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin.

Dems Laud New Consumer Protection Laws |
|
|
From Colorado Politics
In the past month, Gov. Jared Polis has signed into law two COVID-19-related laws that will help Coloradans fight back against price gouging and unfair debt collection practices.
A half-dozen Colorado Democratic lawmakers, along with Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser and several consumer protection groups took a victory lap Monday to talk about the importance of those measures, as well as next steps.
Up until recently, Colorado was one of only a dozen states without strong anti-price-gouging laws, according to Danny Katz of the Colorado Public Interest Research Group (CoPIRG), which backed House Bill 1414.
The bill, signed into law on July 14, creates a "deceptive trade practice for price gouging during a disaster period." Enforcement comes from the Colorado attorney general, although Weiser on Monday said people should not expect his office to act as their own attorneys on price-gouging issues.
"We aren't going to" take action on every complaint, Weiser said, but if his office received multiple complaints on the same company, that could prompt the attorney general to investigate those complaints.
However, he also said his office has seen "historic" levels of reporting on price gouging.
As the pandemic took off, so did price gouging, Katz said. He cited inflated prices for masks, from a normal $1 per mask to $4, and toilet paper, which in some cases has tripled in price.
Weiser noted scams around hand sanitizer that is methanol-based and toxic. "Once we start investigating," sometimes that's enough for a scam artist to stop selling the product, Weiser said.
The new law does include an exception, if a business can prove that it has increased prices due to high prices from suppliers.
The items and services covered under the price-gouging law include:
The bill's sponsors were Sens. Mike Foote of Lafayette and Brittany Pettersen of Lakewood, and Reps. Brianna Titone of Arvada and Mike Weissman of Aurora.
Colorado's track record on consumer protections has been pretty dismal, according to Cate Blackford of the Bell Policy Center. Last year, the National Consumer Law Center's annual report gave Colorado a "D" for its weak consumer protection laws, particularly in the area of state protections for family finances.
That's where Senate Bill 211, signed into law on June 29, comes in.
The measure, sponsored by Sens. Julie Gonzales of Denver and Faith Winter of Westminster, and Rep. Leslie Herod of Denver, is a short-term measure on the issue of debt collection. Between now and Nov. 1, debt collectors are prohibited from enacting new "extraordinary" collection actions, defined in the law as any any action related to a levy or garnishment. However, the law includes a caveat that it could be extended through Feb. 1, 2021 if the pandemic is still creating financial stress.
According to the bill's fiscal note, Colorado courts issued 9,304 garnishment orders in 2019-20.
The law exempts up to $4,000 in bank accounts held by the debtor through Sept. 1, 2022.
Gonzales said lawmakers will continue to work on other issues to help Coloradans through the pandemic crisis, such as housing and evictions. They originally hoped the pandemic would be under control by the summer and the economy would head into recovery.
"What summer has demonstrated is that this will be a complicated slog of a process," she said.
Lawmakers are still looking at policies that respond to the pandemic. Blackford noted 420,000 Coloradans are now at risk of homelessness in the next month, and consumer protections need to be expanded.
Gonzales pointed out that the General Assembly set aside $20 million within the Department of Local Affairs for housing assistance but that the money is little more than "a drop in the bucket."

Polis Updates Colorado on COVID-19 |
|
|
Polis: Colorado doing better than most, but not well enough From KOAA
Gov. Jared Polis provided an update on the state's response to COVID-19 Tuesday afternoon.
UPDATES: Polis began Tuesday by talking about numbers and the near future.
He said the impact of the mask order should show up soon.
The Gov. then said Colorado is doing better than many states. We're not on the prohibited travel list for states like New York and Washington. He said the mask requirement is so important, partly because of tourists from hot spot states.
Polis then said the positivity rate was around 20 percent in April. We’ve been hovering around just below 5% now.
There are currently 251 Coloradans with COVID in the hospital. This means there is plenty of capacity, Polis said. He added that the typical time for hospitalization is 13-14 days after infection, so hospitalizations lag.
The Gov. then said that if we can live like we did in May instead of like we did in July, we will be fine. "Everything was open, but we need that level of precaution," he said.
Polis then said that there are areas of the state that need swift action to avoid a "regional of statewide problem."
Polis then showed a color-coded map of counties. El Paso County was among the red-colored counties, meaning the county is seeing 100+ diagnoses per 100,000 people per day. If counties don't turn numbers around within two weeks, they will lose variances. "Red" counties have "an increasing and dangerous infection rate that is unsustainable," Polis said. "A health set back is an economic setback" he added.
When asked about the upcoming school year, Polis said cohorting is the most important strategy schools can use.
"Colorado is doing better than most, but not well enough to rest on our laurels," Polis said.

Trump Won't Stop Use of Federal Stormtrooper in Portland. |

Trump administration plans to keep federal presence in Portland into October, email shows From CNN
The Trump administration is planning to keep federal agents in Portland, Oregon, through at least mid-October, according to an internal email obtained by CNN.
Portland has been the site of ongoing protests for more than 50 days that have turned violent, sparking outrage among local officials who have faulted the federal presence for aggravating the situation on the ground.
But as protests persist, Customs and Border Protection -- part of the Department of Homeland Security -- is laying the groundwork for continued presence in the city on a rotational basis to relieve those agents who have been in Portland and who may be deployed in the near future.
The CBP email shows Border Patrol offices being asked for teams of about 20-25 personnel. Specifically, the agency is looking for agents of a special unit that has received tactical training and can be called upon to deploy immediately when needed. The email also calls for agents from another Border Patrol unit that provides search and rescue response and intelligence personnel.
Given how long the protests are going, the current roster of federal officers needs to be replaced, the agency says.
"With the current op tempo and hours the agents have been working, the need for additional and relief assets is rising," the email reads, adding that additional support has been requested for "the next 90 days."
"The rotations allow for an adequate overlap effecting a smooth transition," the email reads. The email was sent in mid-July, according to a source familiar with the planning. CBP plans to cycle agents through Portland with no net increase in personnel, according to another source familiar with planning.
"CBP can confirm that additional personnel were sent to Portland," the agency said in a statement to CNN Tuesday. "CBP remains fully committed to support the request from Federal Protective Services to protect federal buildings and property. The additional personnel will serve to maintain our current capabilities on the ground."
For several nights, protests demanding racial justice and an end to an influx in federal resources in the city have turned violent as a small subset of rioters have set fires and launched fireworks at the city's downtown federal courthouse.
Twenty-two people were arrested "for their roles" in protests over the weekend at the federal courthouse in Portland, the Justice Department said Monday.
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said 20 federal officers were injured over the weekend as well, writing on Twitter: "Peaceful crowds don't commit federal crimes."
Portland city officials and members of the Trump administration continue to engage in a public war of words over who is to blame for the actions of rioters.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, who has come under intense scrutiny by President Donald Trump, Wolf and others after weeks of protests in his city, is calling for an immediate meeting with the Homeland Security chief and DHS leadership.

Gardner Slapped with Campaign Finance Violation Complaint $1000/Bottle of Champagne Party at heart of Complaint. |

Campaign finance violations alleged against Gardner by Colorado lawmaker From Colorado Newsline
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner is facing new accusations of campaign-finance violations over his attendance earlier this year at a Palm Beach soirée hosted by Republican megadonors and a luxury champagne brand.
State Rep. Tom Sullivan, a Democrat from Aurora, told Newsline in an interview that he filed a formal complaint against Gardner with the Federal Election Commission last month, alleging that a campaign expenditure made in connection with the senator’s appearance at a Feb. 26 promotional event for Krug Champagne violated the Federal Election Campaign Act.
“Senator Gardner and the Campaign appear to have violated the Act and Commission regulations by converting campaign funds to personal use, or in the alternative, unlawfully accepting a corporate and possibly foreign-national contribution,” Sullivan’s complaint states. “As such, we respectfully request that the Commission immediately investigate these violations.”
Gardner’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment. By law, FEC enforcement matters are kept confidential until a case is resolved.
Sullivan’s allegations stem from Gardner’s attendance at the Krug Champagne party held at the Palm Beach mansion of Amy and John Phelan, a Republican donor and managing partner of private-equity firm MSD Capital. High-society magazine Town & Country described the event as a “decadent banquet” that “put most VIP club sections to shame,” part of a series of globe-spanning “Krug Encounters” presented by the company, a subsidiary of French conglomerate LVMH.
In April, Sullivan filed an initial complaint with the U.S. Senate Ethics Committee, alleging that Gardner’s attendance at the event violated congressional rules banning gifts worth more than $50 from lobbyists and corporations. A spokesman for Gardner later told the Denver Post that the campaign had paid the senator’s attendance with a $350 payment to LaForce, a New York-based public relations firm whose clients include Krug, on March 15.
But far from clearing the matter up, Sullivan said, that expenditure — formally disclosed in Gardner’s quarterly FEC campaign filing on April 15 — raised a host of new questions.
“So, wait a minute, are you using your campaign money to go to lavish parties down in Florida?” Sullivan said. “Or are you going and campaigning with foreign companies?”
‘Both of these scenarios are illegal’
In effect, Sullivan’s FEC complaint argues that the Gardner campaign’s explanation created an ethical Catch-22 — implicating the senator either in one set of campaign-finance violations or another.
On one hand, if Gardner didn’t fundraise or engage in other campaign activities at the Krug party, the complaint alleges, then the $350 payment to LaForce violates FEC rules prohibiting spending campaign funds for “personal use.”
“The Champagne Event involved expensive champagne, decadent food, and musical entertainment, and Senator Gardner has not made any statements indicating that he was conducting campaign or officeholder activities at the event,” the complaint states. “Rather, it appears that Senator Gardner was on a personal outing for pleasure and that his attendance had nothing to do with his role as a candidate or officeholder.”
If, on the other hand, Gardner’s attendance was campaign-related, the party constituted a wide range of violations by both Gardner and Krug, the complaint alleges. Candidates for federal office are barred from accepting contributions of any kind directly from corporations, and FEC rules also prohibit corporations from “facilitating the making of contributions” to federal candidates. If Krug, which is headquartered in France, paid for such an event itself, it would further violate rules prohibiting contributions from foreign nationals.
“As such, if Senator Gardner and the Campaign did not violate the personal-use prohibition, then they violated the Act by accepting a corporate contribution, possibly from a foreign national,” the complaint states. “Both of these scenarios are illegal and warrant immediate investigation.”
FEC disclosures show that Gardner’s 2014 Senate campaign received maximum contributions of $2,600 from both John and Amy Phelan, who reside part-time in an Aspen chalet described by Architectural Digest as “the ultimate art-world party pad.” John Phelan also contributed $33,900 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee in 2018, when Gardner chaired the group.
Other guests at the Phelans’ mansion on Feb. 26, according to Town & Country, included Cuban-American billionaire Pepe Fanjul, a longtime conservative donor and heir to the Fanjul sugar fortune, and Steve Wynn, the billionaire casino magnate who resigned as the Republican Party’s national finance chair following sexual harassment allegations in 2018.
Sullivan, who was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives in 2018, is a longtime Gardner critic. Sullivan’s son Alex was fatally shot in the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, and he has frequently criticized the Republican senator for failing to meet with him and for continuing to oppose gun-control legislation.
“I know how difficult it is to get people to write you a check, and I know what they expect when they send money to you,” Sullivan said. “They’re expecting you to go out there and work to get yourself re-elected and listen to their ideals — not to go to Florida to hobnob with millionaires and billionaires, drinking thousand-dollar glasses of wine.”

Why did you want to intern with the Colorado Dems? I've always been passionate about being able to use what I've been given to help others, and the Democrats share a lot of the same values that I do. I've had the opportunity for a good education, a safe home, and the healthcare I need, but there's a lot of people who didn't get the same opportunities. I want to help get people in office who will help others get access to the same chance to succeed that I was given. |

What's the Elbow Bumpers Club (formerly known as the High Fivers Club), you ask? It started with a simple idea: There are nearly 1.2 million registered Democrats in Colorado -- what if every single one of them gave just $5 a month to the Colorado Democratic Party (CDP)?
Answer: The CDP would be the best-funded state party in the country -- with zero dollars from corporate PACs and plenty for flipping red seats to blue!
Here's the reality -- the Colorado Dems are working in overdrive to keep the wheels of democracy moving forward, and now is a time when we could really use your help! If you haven't joined the High Fivers Club (temporarily known as the Elbow Bumpers Club now) -- please consider a few reasons to give!
