The 2025 Colorado Legislative Session: A Liberty Graveyard

Patriots of Douglas County, the most devoted conservative group in the state (more on that later), the 2025 Colorado legislative session has finally come to an end, leaving us to sort through the damage. The Liberty Scorecard counted 439 bills this year, down from over 700 last year, showing progressive demons in the state legislature have simply become more efficient at tyranny. How many made it to Governor Polis’s desk? Who cares. If they did, they’re probably laws now, either raising our taxes or eroding what little rights we have left. Just the same old Denver dumper fire. 

Let’s start with a salute to the warriors who held the line: Representatives Stephanie Luck (98), Ken Degraaf (98), Scott Bottoms (97), Ron Weinberg (94), Max Brooks (93), Brandi Bradley (87), and Senator Mark Baisley (86). You folks stood tall for conservative values and principles in a session that felt like a never-ending woke lecture. Max Brooks? A rookie Liberty Score of 93. That’s not just good, it’s a slap in the face to every squishy RINO in the Capitol. Brandi Bradley’s 87, stellar! She fought for kids while others fought for applause or played on their iPads. And Mark Baisley, climbing from a 73 last year to an 86 for 2025. Solid redemption, Senator. Keep it up.

Now, cue the disappointment music.

Brace yourselves for the hall of shame. First, John Carson S30, our Douglas County special election “winner,” scored a dismal 74. John voted to remove “man and woman” from Colorado’s Constitution, replacing sacred vows with some gender-neutral phrase that would let two squirrels tie the knot. Biblical values? Conservative principles? This is not the way, John; you are better than this. Then there’s Anthony Hartsook in HD-44, stuck at a consistent 68. Consistent, sure, like a broken clock—right twice a day. Hartsook’s voting for himself, not his constituents. He could learn a thing or two from freshman Brooks, but Tony’s arrogance will never let that happen. 

And the bottom of the barrel? Lisa Frizell S02, plummeting from a 72 (last year when she needed votes) to a pitiful 55, flipping all of Douglas County the one finger salute. She and Barbara Kirkmeyer (49), another marriage language sellout, seem to be racing to betray every conservative value and principle we hold dear. Kirkmeyer’s score is so low it’s practically a participation trophy. And let’s not forget Douglas County’s loan democrat representative Bob Marshall HD43, scraping by at 31, down from 35 last year.



Douglas County, we deserve better. These scores aren’t just numbers—they’re a report card on who’s fighting for us and who’s cozying up to the left. Let’s hold these disappointments accountable, toss out the trash where we can in 2026, and find us some true conservative champions!
