Every generation has an ideological gender gap — and Gen Z is no different. A new poll from The 19th and YouGov sheds light on how young men and women are shaped by certain historical moments and tend to diverge on issues of gender and reproductive rights.

The Colorado legislative commission tasked with studying the effects of historical racism on Black Coloradans faces a funding gap as it seeks an economic contractor. The Black Coloradan Racial Equity Study Commission could need to raise around $215,000 to pay researchers to analyze a nearly-complete historical study and determine how racist policies and attitudes impacted Colorado’s economy. The group has raised around $1.3 million over the last two years, Jarrod Gibbons, History Colorado’s budget director, told the commission Wednesday. It still needs about $75,000 to finish the historical study, though it has $60,000 in pledged donations.

Based on his behavior and rhetoric, he appears to be running for lead Christian pastor of Colorado, not governor.
