“Colorado Sun Elections Editor Jesse Paul spoke with Gov. Jared Polis virtually during the 2026 legislative session recap on May 19.”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result from The Colorado Sun confirms that Gov. Jared Polis made remarks at the annual legislative recap event on May 19, 2026, and mentions Jesse Paul as an author/contributor. However, the evidence does not explicitly state the interview was 'virtual' or that Jesse Paul 'spoke with' him in an interview format versus reporting on his remarks.
