DENVER (KDVR) -- Colorado will not​ get a rematch in one of the tightest races for U.S. Congress in Colorado. State Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer narrowly lost to former state representative now-Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo. But Kirkmeyer has decided against pursuing the congressional seat in 2024 in hopes of staying in a powerful position in state government.The short answer behind Kirkmeyer's decision to stay is that she enjoys her work at the state Capitol. The big question now is: Who will Republicans choose to be the next candidate in what was a very tight race last time?"I pretty much made up my mind about that decision during the last week of session," Kirkmeyer said. Freshmen representatives sue House leadership over transparency law Folks who know Kirkmeyer were probably not surprised by her decision to rerun for state Senate instead of another congressional bid."She went through a tough race last time, one of the closest in the nation, a 1,600 vote difference, less than a p...

‘Once-in-a-lifetime’: Fisherman describes close encounter with two whales off Nantucket coast

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 09:08:15 GMT

A close call off of Nantucket when two whales came right up to a fisherman’s boat earlier this week.“I’ve seen them close before, maybe a couple hundred yards, but that was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime for them to come that close to the boat,” Josh Holdgate said.Holdgate was tuna fishing with five others aboard Captain Pete Kaizer’s Althea K about 30 miles east of Nantucket.Holdgate said the fog was thick which made it harder to spot the whales.“Usually, you can see them for a couple miles,” he said. “The only time you could see them was inside that fog bank which is maybe 300 yards of visibility, so once they came up, they’re already on top of you. They’re 50 feet long. It’s pretty incredible.”They took the boat from the island’s harbor Monday, but their fishing trip quickly turned into a sightseeing tour.“People go on whale watches for hours and hours and don’t have an experience as close as that,” he said.
