In post election news, Colorado was one of the few states in the 2024 election that did not shift Republican. KUNC’s Lucas Brady Woods reports, that’s because of the state’s particular demographics.

The Western Slope Conservation Center will host a panel discussion on the importance of winter wildlife habitat. The discussion will take place at 5:00 pm Monday, November 25th at the Paonia Public Library Community Room.
