DOES DOUGCO NEED TWO MORE COMMISSIONERS? My bipartisan guests today say yes. I’ve got Republican Lora Thomas and Democrat Bob Marshall on at 1 today to talk about Ballot Questions 200 and 201, which would take the three person County Commission up to five and let voters decide if they want to elect them all at-large or by district. I am a yes on this, and a no on Ballot Question 1A, which is a shady ass attempt by the county commission to muddy the waters. We will chat about it today. CHAD HUMPREY IS RUNNING AGAINST A COMMUNIST For the 1st Congressional District. Melat Kiros is horrible, and Chad is the Libertarian running against her, Republican Christy Peterson, and independent Shimon Blau. I don’t think any Republican has a snowballs chance in this deep blue district so we’re going to chat with Chad and find out what he’s all about. Find out more about his campaign here.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WITH THE GOVERNOR DEBATE? Aaron Harber is a longtime Denver journalist and a well respected one at that. He was to moderate a debate between Victor Marx and Phil Weiser. Marx even sent this statement about the debate: “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to sit down for a real conversation with Phil Weiser. The voters deserve to hear from us on the most important issues facing Colorado. Mr. Harber has a long track record of excellent journalism and I’m thankful for his service as an impartial moderator.” So what happened? Aaron joins me today at 2 to chat about it. He did do a long sit down with Phil Weiser, and you should watch it here, as Phil is likely going to be our next Governor. I say that as the Marx campaign isn’t talking about Polymarket betting in this race like he did in the primary.  But I’m sure it will be fine. I’m sure.
