Living in Denver has its perks, one of them is how much this news staff enjoys their job and is allowed the freedom to be a little creative when telling us the news. Don’t worry, no bears were hurt in this story. Watch if you enjoy looking at pictures of bears.

The sad things about a political party blaming their 20-yr slide into irrelevance on one local journalist are: 1) it's silly 2) it tells their voters they can't make change through good candidates/ideas 3) if that journalist is fired and their fortunes don't improve, the lie is revealed

Denver7 just dropped an exclusive interview with GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx. Marx says the allegations against him are “propaganda” and have been proven false. If Denver7 pushed back or questioned that, it wasn’t aired in the segment.

Denver7: What would you say to them to reassure {voters} that you are not the guy that people make you out to be on social media, you are someone who is going to put Coloradans first? Marx: Propaganda works. All the allegations, they’ve been proven false. www.denver7.com/news/local-n...

denver7.comRepublican gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx speaks one-on-one with Denver 7 at campaign eventAn event in Windsor Saturday evening featured more than a dozen Republican candidates for office across Colorado, including nominee for governor Victor Marx and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert.

Congratulations to Peter Daniell from Stargate Charter School in Thornton - winner of the National Civics Bee. Met this incredibly impressive young man when he won the Colorado Civics Bee. He'd like to be a Supreme Court justice someday.

NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx's campaign has re-filed financial disclosures to remove Marx's name from a mystery out-of-state company profiting from his merchandise sales. But the new disclosures don't provide the legally-required info on who owns the LLC.

View full thread

This means Not Shook, LLC has now given the Marx campaign $11k (and made who knows how much off selling merch and meetings with Marx). If the LLC isn't Marx himself (a candidate can self-fund with no limit), it must declare EIGHT owners to stay under legal contribution limits.

But the latest campaign finance filings from the Marx campaign just ignore the requirement to disclose the LLC's owner/s. The campaign also ignored our questions about this. It's possible this prompts yet another campaign finance violation complaint and state investigation.

The Marx campaign has to disclose the LLC's owner because it paid the campaign a $5k licensing fee. Contributions above the $1450 limit can only come from the candidate himself. So the LLC must disclose its owner is Marx, or several other people. The new filing does neither.

As the late great Ron Popeil would say: but wait, there's more! New campaign finance filings now show Not Shook, LLC - which is based in Wyoming - also paid the Marx's campaign $6k for "merchandise purchased at cost." Presumably to stock the merch store.

Marx, his family, and his campaign directed donors to a site selling merchandise and meetings with Marx for up to $1300. Marx won't say where the money is going. When his campaign filed a campaign finance disclosure listing Marx as the LLC's owner, he called it a "silly mistake."

#COSEN GOP nominee Mark Baisley often talks about his political opponents being in "rebellion" against God. For instance, gay people. I asked Baisley what he would say to voters who don't want to be governed by his view of the Bible.

No Coloradan has had more impact on the state over the last 20 years than Sen John Hickenlooper (D). In our #COSEN debate, I asked Hick how much responsibility he and his fellow Democrats have for Colorado's affordability crisis. He blamed Trump... and Colorado's popularity.
