Colorado’s Forbes 400: Anschutz Leads Four Residents with $55.3B

Colorado’s four residents on this year’s Forbes 400 are Philip Anschutz, Charlie Ergen, Mark Stevens and John Malone, with a combined net worth of $55.3 billion. Anschutz remains Colorado’s richest at $19.3 billion, followed by Ergen at $12.8B, Stevens at $11.8B and Malone at $11.4B. The gains reflect a nationwide tech-and AI-fueled surge, and Patricia Stryker—the sole Colorado woman on last year’s list—dropped off this year as Forbes notes the 400’s wealth rose to about $8 trillion, with 590 billionaires not making the cut.

Michigan Senate Primary Tests Democratic Unity as El-Sayed Faces Stevens

Michigan’s Senate primary to replace retiring Sen. Peters has become a microcosm of national Democratic rifts, with Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens jockeying for advantage, shifting endorsements from Gretchen Whitmer and Elizabeth Warren, and heavy outside spending that some see as threatening November outcomes regardless of the winner.

In the final Democratic U.S. Senate primary debate before the Aug. 4 election, Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed exchanged sharp takes on electability against Republican Mike Rogers, donor influence, and policy differences—Stevens emphasizing manufacturing ties and a path to beating Rogers, El-Sayed pushing progressive reforms such as curbing stock buybacks, dismantling ICE’s role, and broader corporate-power reductions—as they sought to define themselves as the better general-election bet and navigate questions about civility and campaign finance.

Michigan Senate Contest Heats Up as El-Sayed and Stevens Clash over EVs and Manufacturing

In a tight Michigan U.S. Senate debate, Abdul El-Sayed pitched affordable EVs (about $25,000 with 300-mile range) and a strengthened domestic auto-supply chain funded by incentives rather than mandates, while Haley Stevens argued that rising costs and a Canada trade dispute threaten Michigan manufacturing and urged utility reform. The candidates sparred over misogyny accusations, socialism, and campaign money, with El-Sayed denying misogyny and claiming he has never taken corporate PAC money, and Stevens denying taking utility money even as federal filings show she received $2,500 from DTE’s PAC (transferred from her House committee before her Senate run). The exchange underscored divides on EV strategy, manufacturing priorities, and political finance in a race that remains competitive.
