Colorado Democratic Party censures Gov. Jared Polis

Driving the news: The censure — approved by 90% of the party's central committee — said Polis "harmed the Colorado Democratic Party's institutional credibility and efforts to defend Democratic institutions and election integrity."

• The decision came after a brief debate in which party members overwhelmingly recommended the censure.
• In addition, Polis is prohibited from serving as a party representative, an honored guest or a featured speaker at party-sponsored events.

What they're saying: "The state central committee formally condemns Gov. Jared Polis' clemency decision regarding Tina Peters and formally censures Gov. Jared Polis for conduct inconsistent with the Colorado Democratic Party's commitment to Democratic institutions, election integrity, and public accountability," the statement reads.

The intrigue: U.S. Rep. Jason Crow (D-Aurora) led the push, saying, "Coloradans deserve leaders who act with moral clarity, fight corruption and are willing to take on a broken system."

The other side: Polis has expressed no regrets about his decision, saying at an event Tuesday that "this will be remembered fondly."
