Two Republican candidates for U.S. Senate have, at least for now, withdrawn their support of their party’s presumptive nominee for president, Donald Trump. The two, Jack Graham and Ryan Frazier, said they did so because of Trump’s recent comments about an Indiana-born judge who Trump says is biased against him because of his “Mexican” heritage.

Colorado's Senate contest is second only to the presidential race in importance to Republicans nationwide. To blow a rare opportunity, Republicans need only nominate State Sen. Tim Neville — a politician known for close ties to a special-interest lobby that insidiously harms gun rights.

Dem Rep. Ed Perlmutter slapped GOP challenger Ryan Frazier, a veteran, during their debate while arguing over Obamacare. Via Jammie Wearing Fool: Michael Sadoval at NRO reported on the incident: Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter and GOP challenger Ryan Frazier verbally sparred over many issues, from energy and taxes to foreign policy and the national debt. But it was during an exchange over health care, and the health care bill itself, that Perlmutter swats Frazier’s hand. Frazier quickly responded and Perlmutter apologized immediately: “Ed, don’t hit me man, come on!” said Frazier.

October 14, 2010 - Ryan Frazier, candidate for the 7th Congressional District, today announced the endorsement of former 7th Congressional District Rep. Bob Beauprez. Beauprez honorably served in the seat for 4 years before running for governor. Incumbent Rep. Ed Perlmutter’s (D-Golden) desperate campaign has consistently tried to use Beauprez’s comments in the primary election against Frazier, rather than defend a 98.3% voting record with Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones,” Beauprez said. “Ed Perlmutter voted for a health care bill a majority of people didn't want, a stimulus that didn't work, bailouts to...

The Obama presidency has not led to a post-racial America, says Toby Harnden, but black Republicans in Congress could help break down barriers . Campaigning a few miles from Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired in 1861, Tim Scott described last week how he was born into poverty and a broken home, much like Barack Obama. But the conclusions that Scott, 45, drew were very different from those of Obama. When he was 15, a man who ran a Chick-fil-A fast-food restaurant taught him "that there was a way to think my way out...

Republican Ryan Frazier is the best choice to represent an evenly split district. He will help bring balance to Washington. Colorado's 7th Congressional District is evenly divided among Democrats, Republicans and unaffiliated voters. But its congressman, Democrat Ed Perlmutter, doesn't reflect that ideological diversity. Since he was first elected in 2006, Perlmutter has been a solid vote for the Democratic majority in Congress, and has supported the Obama administration's over-reaching agenda. He voted for the cap-and-trade bill that would drive up energy costs as well as health care reform that will drive up costs, the so-called "card check" bill and...

The American Future Fund is spending more than half a million dollars to try to oust Colorado Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter, a huge sum in a district less competitive than others where the group is playing. The $560,000 is for both an ad buy and a field campaign — the only district where AFF is funding a grassroots component, AFF founder Nick Ryan told POLITICO. Perlmutter is facing Navy veteran Ryan Frazier, a Republican with considerable support from the national party. The 7th District is outside Denver and favors the Democrats — voters picked President Obama in the 2008 election...

Karl Rove, whose American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS have raised millions of dollars on behalf of GOP candidates all over the country, has spent at least $1.3 million targeting Sen. Michael Bennet... Rove turned to Colorado’s Congressional battles, featuring Republicans Cory Gardner in CO-4, Scott Tipton in CO-3, and Ryan Frazier in CO-7. Rove held a fundraiser in Aspen, Colorado, for the three candidates last week. “I’m feeling good about Cory. In fact, you’re starting to see the Democrats start to dial back some of their buys in the Markey district,” said Rove to Battle ‘10. “Tipton has a really...

Only several weeks ago, few observers were willing to give Colorado’s 7th Congressional District Republican nominee and Aurora City Councilman Ryan Frazier a chance... Yet, over the past few weeks, the race shows signs of tightening. Frazier could end up joining a potential wave of Black Republicans poised for an unprecedented trip to Capitol Hill. With analysts writing off the 7th District as “likely Democrat,” there have been few public polls taken to gauge the November outcome. One polling firm known for its GOP ties, Magellan Strategies, put Frazier ahead by one point, 40% to 39%. As a result, Frazier...

Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Colorado inserted a provision into the recently passed House climate change bill that would drum up business for "green" banks, such as the one he has invested in and his family and a political donor helped found in San Francisco. The bill calls on bank regulators to promote green banking and says federal dollars should be used to support energy-efficient home improvements at government-funded housing projects. Mr. Perlmutter, a two-term Democrat, has two investments in the 3-year-old New Resource Bank, which calls itself the nation's first green bank... Mr. Perlmutter's sponsorship of the GREEN Act given...

Overall, the GOP has fielded more than 30 African-American candidates for federal office, including Ryan Frazier in Colorado's Seventh Congressional District and Vernon Parker in Arizona's Third Congressional District. And as the economy loses steam, and President Obama's poll numbers sag, the ultimate humiliation in this summer of Democratic discontent is to find Republicans trumpeting 2010 as "The Year of the Black Republicans." A trend with historic rootsThis trend defies modern identity politics. In the 2008 election, 95 percent of black voters chose Obama. Yet the attraction between blacks and the Republican Party is not so strange as it seems....

A Denver-area businessman has formed an exploratory committee to look into running for the suburban 7th District congressional seat now held by U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter. Jimmy Lakey, a Republican who owns concert-promotion and artist-management companies... is concerned with the growing size and scope of government and with “reckless spending” in Washington... Perlmutter, G-Golden, has held the 7th District seat representing parts of Adams, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties since 2007... The seat was previously held by Republican Bob Beauprez, who stepped down for an unsuccessful gubernatorial run against Bill Ritter.

Unaffiliated voters leaning toward GOP. Less than a year from the 2010 elections, there's a chance for Cortez Republican Scott Tipton to pull a major upset over John Salazar, the incumbent Western Slope congressman, a respected pollster told Denver-area Republicans on Wednesday. Floyd Ciruli... recent elections around the country show unaffiliated voters leaning toward Republicans, while Democratic voters tended to stay home. He pointed to Tipton and Ryan Frazier of Aurora as two Republicans who might benefit. "I think the Republican Party wisely saw that lightning could strike out there. This could be one of those exceptional years," Ciruli said....

Aurora City Councilman Ryan Frazier announced Thursday that he would switch gears and run for the House seat currently held by Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.), rather than for the Senate. “It’s time to re-energize the people’s House with new leadership and better solutions. The 7th Congressional District represents the right path, right now, to do my part in helping make America better. The people here deserve a better choice,” Frazier said in a statement.

Senator Michael Bennet finds himself in a toss-up with two potential Republican challengers, Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck and Aurora City Councilman Ryan Frazier. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds Bennet ahead of Buck 43% to 37%. With Frazier as the opponent, Bennet is essentially even... Any incumbent who polls less than 50% is considered potentially vulnerable. Polling released earlier showed that the Colorado Governor’s race is also potentially competitive in 2010.
