Self-defense on hold: House GOP announces letter to AG Bondi at capitol press conference

By Jen Schumann | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice A young woman in her twenties stood outside Rep. Scott Bottoms’ church recently and asked him for help—she needed a firearm. Not for sport. Not to make a point. For protection. “She was worried, she was frightened… She had no way to protect herself,” Bottoms said during a House Republican press conference Wednesday. “She has to wait three days. She can't even get her own firearm to protect herself.” That delay, he argued, could be the difference between safety and tragedy. It’s the kind of real-life scenario House Republicans say they had in mind when they gathered on the west steps of the Colorado State Capitol the morning of April 16 to speak out against SB25-003.  At the press conference, lawmakers said they...

Tristan: Politics came between me and my daughter – love and faith brought us back

By George Tristan | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice A fundamental hallmark of the saga of human history, has been and continues to be, invention. Take communications for example. Less than 200 years ago, we relied on the Pony Express to send and receive communications over long distances. Then, on May 24, 1844, Samuel Morse sent the famous message "What hath God wrought" from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore, Maryland – marking the first long-distance telegraph transmission in the United States.  Advance the hourglass of time forward 180 years to 2024, to the first human trials of Neuralink’s brain computer devices, which will enable people with medical conditions such as paralysis, spinal cord injuries, or neurological disorders, to connect with devices using only their tho...

In first 100 days, Evans introduces six bills focused on fraud, safety and immigration

RMV Staff | RMV NE CO Newsroom, Rocky Mountain Voice Colorado’s 8th Congressional District—a nationally watched swing district—just saw its freshman Congressman, Gabe Evans, cross the 100-day threshold in office. The milestone highlights a flurry of legislative action, bipartisan wins, and scrutiny over constituent accessibility. Evans, a Republican and former law enforcement officer and Army veteran, has moved quickly since being sworn in. “By contrast, it took my predecessor up until August before she had six bills,” Evans told FOX31. “So we are doing the work and delivering the work for constituents. I look forward to continuing to engage with them, hear their problems, and do what we can to solve them.” Six bills, five bipartisan, three out of committee Denver7 reported tha...

The COvid Chronicles: Fifteen days that changed Colorado forever

By Rocky Mountain Voice Editorial Board Editor’s Note: The following is the most extensive article RMV has published. We believe the depth is necessary to preserve the timeline and truth of Colorado’s earliest COVID response decisions. Colorado changed overnight. In the first two weeks of April 2020, headlines shifted from public health to public control. Behind the fear and mandates were decisions—made daily—that reshaped lives and redefined freedom. This is the record. April 1 Where else to start than the pages of The Denver Post (The DP)? On April 1, 2020 it wasn't an April Fool's Day joke that the economic industry Gov. Polis prioritized over such Centennial State mainstays as oil-and-gas and beef production – tourism – was reeling.  Hotels across the state were co...

Yadira Caraveo launches bid to reclaim Colorado’s 8th District after razor-thin loss to Gabe Evans

By Rocky Mountain Voice Staff Democrat Yadira Caraveo has officially launched her campaign to reclaim Colorado’s 8th Congressional District—just five months after losing the seat to freshman Republican Gabe Evans by fewer than 2,500 votes. Caraveo’s announcement sets the stage for a rematch in what has quickly become one of the most closely watched and expensive congressional battlegrounds in the country. One of the Most Competitive Districts in the Nation The 8th District, created after the 2020 Census, has emerged as a political bellwether with no clear partisan tilt. It spans Denver’s northern suburbs and rural areas along U.S. 85 into Greeley and has the highest percentage of Latino voters of any district in the state. Caraveo first won the seat in 2022 by just 1,600 vot...

HB25-1312 and the silencing of parents: What the Rocky Mountain Summit revealed

By Jen Schumann | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice From court-ordered gag rules to the looming threat of custody loss, this isn’t hypothetical — it’s happening now. Colorado families gathered at the Rocky Mountain Summit in early April to share what it means to raise children under a system that increasingly treats concern as abuse. What happened at the Summit Held April 6 in Englewood, the event brought together medical professionals, whistleblowers and families.  Their message was clear: parents are being sidelined by courts, schools and legislation that favors affirm-only practices. And proposed legislation like HB25-1312 may take things further, redefining parental objection as emotional abuse under the law. The Summit marked a milestone for 14-year-old Chl...

Hunter: Faith-driven schools are proving that clarity and character create safe campuses

By Pastor Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice In the face of rising cultural concerns over student safety and institutional trust, a quiet but significant shift in Colorado’s educational landscape is rooted in moral conviction, sustained by ethical character, and bearing fruit in meaningful outcomes. While negative headlines often dominate the news cycle, a growing number of schools—especially those built on faith-based foundations—are showing that principled leadership still works. These institutions aren’t just reacting to problems; they’re proactively building systems and cultures where students can thrive. This proactive approach should reassure us that safety and success are not just aspirations, but achievable outcomes. And it all begins with what they believe. T...

Devotional: Breastplate of Righteousness – Living in Harmony

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice At the start of our devotional journey this year, we uncovered God’s armor (Ephesians 6:10-18) and explored the Helmet of Salvation—our foundational assurance in Christ. Now, it's time to embrace the next vital piece of God's gear: the Breastplate of Righteousness. But what exactly does righteousness mean, and how can we practically wear it daily? If the idea feels abstract or a bit distant, don’t worry—let’s unpack it together and discover how transformative and essential this protection is in our lives. Jesus provides us with an encouraging starting point: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled" (Matthew 5:6, NIV). To capture the beauty and simplicity of this promise, we can rephrase "bl...
