No Labels has 13 contenders for ticket against Biden and Trump

By Julia Johnson, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: Gazette No Labels, the centrist organization plotting a potential 2024 presidential ticket, has 13 possible candidates to challenge a rematch of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. The group is expected to determine sometime after March 15 whether to put forward a unity ticket. If Trump appears to be the likely Republican nominee, No Labels is most inclined to announce its choice for a president and vice president alternative, according to the group.

EDITORIAL: Yes to tax cuts, no to pipe dreams

By The Gazette Editorial Board | SOURCE: The Gazette Even for a State of the State address, Gov. Jared Polis did plenty of bragging.
