Conservatives in Colorado Have a Secret Influence Machine. And It Might Be Working.
About this episode
The episode explores the influence of conservative groups in Colorado politics and discusses upcoming ballot measures.
Democrats in Colorado are expected to retain control of the state legislature, governor’s mansion, and every statewide office this year, but that doesn’t mean conservatives aren’t having an impact! Logan M. Davis is a reporter with the progressive media outlet Colorado Times Recorder, and he’s dedicated himself to untangling the mysterious web of think tanks, dark money groups and billionaires who are finding ways to push public policy in our state to the right. Davis joins host Bree Davies to dig into “The Redprint”, his ongoing investigation into how the money moves and where the power lies. Bree and Logan talked about two ballot measures – one focused on harsher sentencing for fentanyl possession and the other to allow local law enforcement to work with ICE – that will be on Colorado ballots this fall.
