Before you head out

  Happy holidays, folks. I’m looking forward to spending the next few days with my family, and I’m sure you’re ready to relax with your loved ones, too. You’re probably ready to head offline, so I promise not to take up too much of your time. I’ve just got one last request before you …

An uphill battle

  We’re just days away from a midterm election year, Folks. Midterm years are notoriously tougher than presidential years — folks aren’t necessarily as tuned in to politics, so it’s often a major uphill battle to compete with Republican turnout and spending. And 2022 will be no differ…

They called me the accidental Senator

  Can I explain something, folks? In 2009, I was appointed to fill a vacancy in the U.S. Senate for Colorado. Polls pegged my name recognition at a whopping 3%. Republicans called me the “accidental Senator.” Even a national political website greeted my new position with the headline:…
