Time for Boebert to Take a Bow? Plus, Booing Jokić and Nominations Open for Our Annual Awards!
Ballots are still being counted, but there’s no doubt Colorado was definitely part of the national blue wave. How did Democrats manage to flip some of the reddest seats in the state? Today, Denver Post city government reporter Elliott Wenzler and The Lever founder and editor in chief David Sirota join producer Olivia Jewell Love to break down what happened in Boebert Country and what passage of the graduated income tax measure could mean for Colorado. Plus, City Cast Denver neighbors get a special bonus segment with a sneak peak of our upcoming Denver-est Denver Awards (grab your tickets here). The crew rounds out the show with a round of wins and fails.
Elliott mentioned the secretary of state’s website’s security breach. David brought up the Nuggets’ current record. Olivia mentioned Ameriquarium, the state fish game, that you can play here.
