At least six people — including indicted Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters and two former Congressional candidates — are vying to become the next chair of the Colorado Republican Party.
. She’s joined by Erik Aadland, who in November lost his bid to represent CD-7 to Democrat Brittany Pettersen, and Casper Stockham, who unsuccessfully ran for the CD-7 seat in 2020 and the state party chair shortly after that.
Dave Williams, a former state representative who lost in a primary last year to fellow Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn,is running, as is Kevin Lundberg, who spent 15 years as a state lawmaker. So, too, is Aaron Wood, a Highlands Ranch Republican who previously founded a conservative group that seeks to “to ensure Christian conservative values remain strongly rooted in our society.
Those losses, coupled with demographic shifts, require a years-long rebuild of the Republican Party in Colorado, various officials previously told the Denver Post. It’s an unenviable task: The party has been plagued by infighting in recent years, and veteran party members warn that there’s little a state-level leader can do to dim the polarizing national aura of Donald Trump.
Despite the stark situation the candidates appear set to inherit, Stockham told the Post that the party chair was the best political job in the state. He said the party needed to emphasize unity and outreach if it is to emerge from the electoral wilderness, and he downplayed suggestions that Trump will negatively overshadow any work local Republicans undertake to rehab the party’s image.
