A different kind of Republican: Windholz urges support for Dr. Janak Joshi for U.S. Senate

By JoAnn Windholz | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Not all doctors are the same just as not all candidates for elected office are the same.  One such doctor and candidate, Dr. Janak Joshi is my pick to be Colorado's Republican nominee for U.S. Senate. Having served with Dr. Joshi I know he is the perfect example of servant leadership. He treats everyone with dignity and kindness, while refusing to compromise his values and principles.  It’s evident to anyone who knows him that his strong faith and patriotism drive his passion and commitment to protecting Colorado families, providing relief to taxpayers, defending the unborn, and standing strong for our Constitutional liberties.   Dr. Janak Joshi is different from all the rest.   ...

On its website, Cobalt says it has “testified against and helped defeat 51 anti-abortion bills at the Colorado General Assembly since 2010.”  Webpage from Cobalt Advocates referencing its 51-bill claim. Viewed Feb. 19, 2026. A February data report shows more than $2.4 million spent in 2025 on abortion procedures and practical support, including travel and lodging.

Why J. Paul Brown Supports Naomi Riess for House District 59

By J. Paul Brown | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As a lifelong farmer and rancher in Southwest Colorado and someone who has proudly served as the representative for House District 59, I know the importance of strong, principled leadership for our communities. We are in dire need of someone who has always stood by agriculture and our rural way of life.  I have known Naomi Riess for many years, and I can say with confidence that she is exactly the kind of leader we need. I personally witnessed her dedication when she helped the La Plata County Farm Bureau resolve challenges that some of our members were facing with the State Land Board regarding state land leases. Her knowledge, persistence and genuine care for the people she serves made a real difference. ...

Colorado firm Zynex forfeits nearly $100M as former executives face federal charges

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice An Englewood medical device company has agreed to pay millions and walk away from nearly 100 million dollars in unpaid claims after a federal investigation into its TRICARE billing practices. This week, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that Zynex, Inc. entered into a criminal Non-Prosecution Agreement.

The company secured a deal. Its former executives now face criminal charges ...

God, government and the ballot: Why sitting out is not neutral

By Rev. Robert Babcox | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Why Christians should vote and be involved in Government.   We see in several passages in God’s Word what we are to do. Romans 13:1-3: “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.” While there can be no doubt that Paul was telling people ...

Speech or statute? Appeals court weighs bond denial in Tina Peters case

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice The Colorado Court of Appeals is being asked to decide whether Tina Peters was denied bond because of her speech—or whether the issue is already foreclosed by appellate rules. Was her bond denied because of her speech? The Attorney General’s office argues the court does not need to answer that question. In its view, Peters’ petition is untimely, successive and barred under Colorado’s appellate rules. The dispute now before the court centers on bond pending appeal. The defense says a district judge treated Peters’ public criticism of Mesa County’s voting system as a public danger. The state says the bond statute independently supports denial and that the petition should be dismissed on procedural grounds. 2026-01-30 A...

America’s real election crisis: A collapse of public trust

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker One of the most corrosive realities in contemporary American electoral politics isn't polarization, misinformation, or even foreign interference. It is something more basic: a majority of Americans no longer trust the integrity of their elections. This is not a fringe belief limited to one party or ideology. According to polling from Rasmussen Reports, ahead of the 2024 presidential election, 62 percent of likely voters were “concerned that cheating will affect the outcome of the 2024 election.” This skepticism crosses party lines and has persisted over the years. The pattern is clear: whichever party loses a presidential election claims the winning party cheated. Democrats insisted George W. Bush stole the 20...

Two courts, one case: Judge to weigh prosecutor removal and child hearsay in Hawkins proceedings

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice What began as criminal charges against retired Aurora Police Department sergeant Michael Hawkins has expanded into a dispute spanning two counties and two courts. While Hawkins faces felony allegations involving children, his former wife, Rachel Pickrel-Hawkins, was jailed after declining to follow a reunification therapy order issued during divorce proceedings. Two hearings that are set for February 19th inside a Douglas County District Court could subtly influence the course of People v. Hawkins. The hearings for case 24CR808 begins at 9:00 a.m and 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom C and are expected to be available through the Colorado Judicial Branch livestream.  The morning argument centers on a defense r...

By Reps. Brandi Bradley and Max Brooks | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Editor’s update: House Bill 26-1021 will be heard in the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, upon adjournment in HCR 0107. The committee is scheduled between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Readers may listen live here: https://sg001-harmony.sliq.net/00327/Harmony/en/PowerBrowser/PowerBrowserV2/20260217/29/17994#info_ For more than a decade, Colorado Democrats have treated gun control as a political obsession. Not because it works. Not because it reduces crime. But because it expands government control and satisfies national activist donors. Meanwhile, crime has increased, communities feel less safe, and the only people consistently punished are those who follow the law. Hous...
