What’s on my ballot? A look at how voters might determine true primary pro-gun supporters

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice In an interview posted Friday, Free State Colorado looks at how voters can best determine if a candidate for office truly meets the values of voters. The discussion takes a look at the issue of pro-gun candidates, something nearly all conservative candidates claim. In many cases, those claiming to support gun rights are absent of a voting record or often any support to the claim, and some in office are absent of any evidence of fighting for gun rights, the video clip says. "We don't need people who are just going to go in and vote against the [anti] gun bills," said RMGO's Ian Escalante. "That's like saying you want a raise because you show up on time for work. You are doing the very, very bare minimum." Rocky Mountain Gun Owners has a pro...

In Boebert-less 4th District debate, Republican Rumble still centered on Boebert

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice DENVER -- A brief heated exchange between Deborah Flora and Richard Holtorf highlighted what otherwise was a 4th District congressional debate which seemed to center on everything but those appearing on stage Saturday during the Republican Rumble here at the Grizzly Rose. Lauren Boebert chose not to attend the Republican Rumble debate, and instead focus her final weekend prior to ballots being received on campaigning. Yet, she was the focus of the first question of the debate when candidates were asked to consider differences between them and the top-line candidate on the ballot. "We hear a whole bunch of rhetoric that doesn't actually discuss results," said Mike Lynch, adding criticism of Boebert's move from the 3rd to the 4th District, aski...

Evans, Flora win Republican Rumble straw poll; LP chair second to Lopez in special election poll

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice DENVER -- Deborah Flora captured another straw poll win Saturday on the eve of primary ballots beginning to populate mail boxes across the district and the state. Following an exchange with 4th Congressional District opponent Richard Holtorf over the financial status of her non-profit and the service of family and spouses to active duty military, Flora captured the Republican Rumble straw poll victory here at the Grizzly Rose. Flora, viewed by some to be a front-runner with Lauren Boebert, earned 24.8% of the straw votes. "I'm humbled again for this latest straw poll victory. From Douglas to Weld and Kit Carson to Prowers, I've worked tirelessly to hear your concerns and be your voice for Congress," Flora said. "We're building on that momentu...
