Chris Rourke, Colorado Inside Out: Sen. Mark Baisley (R-4), Rep. Scott Bottoms (R-15)

Chris Rourke co-anchors for our weekly 'Weekend Recap' segment focused on the results of the 2026 GOP Assembly in Pueblo.

Senator Mark Baisley joins the show to discuss his bid for the U.S. Senate seat. He shares his experience at the Colorado Republican Assembly, where he emerged as the only name on the ballot. Mark talks about his plans to represent the Western Slope, which he believes has been neglected by state leaders. He also addresses the differences between himself and potential opponents, including John Hickenlooper and Julie Gonzalez. With a focus on practical solutions and common sense, Mark aims to bring a new perspective to the Senate.

Rep. Scott Bottoms (R-15) reflects on his successful bid to earn top-line designation on the 2026 GOP primary ballot in the governor's race, and forecasts what lies ahead for him with Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer (R-23) and Victor Marx as opponents on the ticket.
