Judith Kohler
After more than two decades of covering government, politics, energy and the environment, Judith Kohler joined The Denver Post in 2018 to focus on a new beat: business. She quickly discovered that business involves, among other things, government, politics, energy and the environment. And space ships. That part was new. Covering the country's second-largest aerospace industry has been a thrill.
Kohler started her career on a daily in western Nebraska, where being a University of Colorado-Boulder grad was rough during football season. She moved onto weeklies in the Denver area and then The Associated Press for 21 years in Colorado and Wyoming where she wrote stories on the legislatures, congressional races and returning wolves to Yellowstone and lynx to Colorado.
From growing up in the Black Hills in South Dakota to living in Colorado for many years, Kohler is sold on the West.
