Evan Munsing Drops Out of Colorado Primary

In Colorado’s competitive 8th District race, outsider Evan Munsing drops out just before debate — leaving Shannon Bird and Manny Rutinel as the final Democratic contenders to challenge GOP incumbent Gabe Evans. Though Munsing, a former Marine and finance exec, believes voters want fresh faces, polls show he’s trailing the established reps. His name still appears on the June 30 ballot, but the spotlight now narrows to Bird and Rutinel in a pivotal swing district that could shape next year’s House control.

Colorado’s Nuclear Waste Dilemma

Colorado’s nuclear waste dilemma is heating up: a massive concrete storage facility near Platteville, built for spent fuel from the shuttered Fort St. Vrain plant, is already full and set to expire in 2031—with no permanent solution in sight. While the Department of Energy plans to relocate the waste by 2035, new proposals for small reactors across the state, including at Buckley Space Force Base, lack any clear long-term waste disposal strategy. Critics warn we’re repeating history—using nuclear energy without solving the dangerous, decades-long problem of what to do with the waste.

Colorado Mountain Homes Cool But Prices Hold
