Colorado GOP Chair demands support for Victor Marx or resignations

Colorado Republican Party Chair Craig Steiner has stated that party officials who do not support the party’s gubernatorial nominee, Victor Marx, should resign. The comments were made during a Denver GOP breakfast meeting following internal disputes regarding Marx’s fitness for office.

Disillusioned party members have expressed concerns over party unity, with some officials actively supporting Greg Lopez, a former Republican turned independent who is running as a third-party candidate on the general election ballot. Steiner emphasized that according to party bylaws, the purpose of the organization is to elect Republican nominees, noting that the party is a political entity with specific rules rather than an activist group.
