The different caucuses of the Colorado legislature held post-session press conferences to discuss their accomplishments from the Legislative session.
This week, Williams and Co. endorsed Ron Hanks who doesn’t live in the district he is running for. A zealous 2020 election denier and conspiracy theorist, Hanks shot up a copy machine labeled Dominion Voting Machine in a low-budget campaign video during his failed run in the U.S. Senate primary. The party announcement also attacked the two real contenders for the race.
Earlier this year, the state party endorsed Lauren Boebert who left her own congressional district when it was clear she would be tossed out by a formidable primary candidate or Adam Frisch, the Democrat candidate in the general election. Having moved eastward, she now faces several serious-minded candidates who have actually lived in for more than a month or two and in some cases represented parts of that district.
If Hanks, Boebert, and Williams win their primaries, the state would be better off enduring two years of Democrat representation in these districts and waiting for serious candidates to retake the seats in 2026.
