FACT: Cory Gardner was a deciding vote against allowing witnesses in the impeachment trial of Donald Trump

  Here’s the truth, folks -- Cory Gardner was one of the deciding votes against allowing firsthand witness testimony in Trump’s impeachment trial. Thanks to Gardner, Senate Republicans are rushing to end the trial by Wednesday, and any real chance the American people had at learning the…

What Cory Gardner did yesterday is shameful

  Hello --  Cory Gardner voted yesterday afternoon against allowing witness testimony in Trump’s impeachment trial, effectively ending any chance we have at learning the full truth. Enough is enough -- we need new leadership in Washington. Make a donation of $10 or more to John Hickenl…

First, then, now

  The news this week has been beyond frustrating, folks -- FIRST: Donald Trump hosted a fundraiser for our opponent, Senator Cory Gardner, and raised him more than $100,000 as a thank you for having “his back on impeachment.” THEN: Gardner announced he’s voting with Mitch McConnell to bl…

Trump has Cory Gardner to thank

Washington is broken

  I’ll be honest, folks. I never saw myself running for U.S. Senate. Back in the mid-1980s, I was laid off for 27 months as a geologist. Then, I took every scrap of savings in my bank account and took a gamble on opening my own business, a brewpub in downtown Denver. I remember working 8…

You might've picked up on this by now
