Local Dems Playing Dirty, César Chávez Ripple Effects, and Westword's New Era
While many Denverites were protesting at No Kings, watching the Denver Summit FC kickoff, or just enjoying the sun, Democrats from all over the state descended on Pueblo for their state assembly to nominate candidates for the primary election in June. Producer Paul Karolyi was in Pueblo following the action, and he’s on with Westword editor Patty Calhoun to share his reporting on some allegations against the frontrunner attorney general candidate, Jena Griswold, which surfaced mere hours before the vote. Plus, Patty discusses the news that she is retiring from Westword, and we hear from host Bree Davies who was on location Monday morning with green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval for a press conference at the Corky Gonzalez Library.
Patty mentioned retired judge Ann Frick’s op-ed for Westword about Secretary of State Jena Griswold – “Jena Griswold’s Fabrications Are Disqualifying in AG’s Race.” She also discussed Westword’s past coverage of Griswold’s “reign of error” as secretary of state and her own work on the former nuclear bomb plant Rocky Flats.
Paul discussed the new allegations from former Griswold staffer Reese Edwards (Part 1 and Part 2)
