Henry: This year's selection of political ads are wild, wacky, weird

Henry: This year’s selection of political ads are wild, wacky, weird

Brendan Henry October 19, 2022
The season of political ads is upon us with the midterm election in November. This brings back the era of televised insanity on behalf of politicians and their teams. Whatever goes through their minds when they storyboard these crazy ideas is truly enigmatic.  An advertisement put out by Alex Walker, former Democratic candidate for Colorado’s third Congressional district, portrays a literal fecal storm raining down upon Colorado citizens as a result of Lauren Boebert’s policies.

Tusinski: Gov. Jared Polis is not the progressive you think he is

Dylan Tusinski October 19, 2022

While on the campaign trail, Polis held rallies in the Colorado State University Lory Student Center and across Colorado alongside congressmen Bernie Sanders and Joe Neguse, both of whom are among the most progressive national politicians in the country. The aim was to drum up support from Colorado's progressive voters, and it worked.
