Colorado is not a blue state (yet)

Howdy John,  It’s true. Colorado is still a toss-up state. In fact, our state will host two of the most competitive Congressional races in the country in 2024.  Cook Political Report recently shifted Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District – Lauren Boebert’s district – from “lean Republican” to a “tos…

MAGA Republicans are coming for CO’s new Congressional seat

Howdy John,  In 2024, Colorado will host some of the most competitive Congressional races in the country. Control of the U.S. House of Representatives could very well hinge on a few hundred votes right here in Colorado. Our positive vision for the future is one where everyone has a chance to get ahe…

MAGA Republicans are coming for CO’s new Congressional seat

Howdy John,  The Congressional race in CO-08 will be one of 2024’s most contested races in the country. It’s a top target for Republicans who are already scheming to take the seat from Democrats. Keeping CO-08 blue is critical for Democrats if we want to win back the House majority. That’s exactly w…

Launching The Horizon Project

Howdy John,  We think you’ll agree that Coloradans expect more from their elected officials than politicians who put their ideology above our kids, our public health, or our ability to get ahead in life and make our own health care decisions.With the pressing issues facing our state and our country,…

We’ve got MAGA Extremists like Boebert scared.

Howdy John,  We’ll be honest – when we launched The 546 Project, we weren’t expecting this much press coverage, let alone the fearful reactions from Lauren Boebert and her MAGA allies.We were simply ready to get to work talking to voters, building coalitions and laying the groundwork for our local p…

FWD: Guess who Lauren Boebert’s bringing to Colorado?

Howdy John, Over the weekend, our friend Bri Buentello sent out an email talking about Lauren Boebert’s incompetence – and the fact that she brought Donald Trump Jr., of all people, to Colorado to headline a fundraiser for her this weekend. As Chair of the Pueblo County Democrats and a former state …

Guess who Lauren Boebert’s bringing to Colorado?

Howdy John,  It’s Bri Buentello here, former Colorado state representative and Chairwoman of the Pueblo County Democrats.Since winning in 2022 by just 546 votes, Lauren Boebert promised to 'turn down the rhetoric' and get to work – and yet she hasn’t hosted a single town hall in Pueblo, rarely shows…

MAGA extremists are already trying to scare voters.

Howdy John, It hasn't even been 72 hours since we launched The 546 Project and Colorado Republicans are already leaning into their cruel and weird scare tactics.  MAGA extremists have leaned into their conspiracy theories and accused The 546 Project of trying to "groom and indoctrinate children into…
