For the most part, the peak of the gun debate at the state capitol is over, but the political ramifications are still unfolding.

KUNC’s Bente Birkeland spoke with her fellow statehouse reporters about the dynamic under the golden dome and President Barack Obama’s recent visit to Colorado.

Bente Birkeland is an award-winning journalist who joined Colorado Public Radio in August 2018 after a decade of reporting on the Colorado state capitol for the Rocky Mountain Community Radio collaborative and KUNC. In 2017, Bente was named Colorado Journalist of the Year by the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), and she was awarded with a National Investigative Reporting Award by SPJ a year later.
