Why Prop HH Failed, Jumbotron Proposals, and Who’s Gonna Beat Boebert?

It wasn’t the biggest election of our lifetimes. It wasn’t even the biggest election in Denver this year! But this past Tuesday’s results will reshape our lives, and our politics, in some big ways. Producer Paul Karolyi is breaking down the results and looking to the future with returning guest Joshua Emerson, a stand-up comic and the co-chair of the Denver American Indian Commission, and one of our favorite political insiders — longtime Democratic Party strategist and one of the co-hosts of the Get More Smarter podcast, Ian Silverii. And finally, our Rocky Mountain Highs and Lows of the Week.

Paul talked about Mike Coffman and the micro-community in Virginia Village (But he missed the recent cancellation of the one planned for Holly Hills). Joshua mentioned Comedy Works and Spirit Airlines. Ian talked about Lauren Boebert, the Boulder mayor’s race, the school board drama in Woodland Park, and his interview with the reporter behind that Woodland Park story.
