Darryl Glenn was the big surprise winner the the GOP convention. He give a speech that was very well received. A key line “I’m tired of hearing about Republicans reaching across the aisle. We need to step up and lead, ladies and gentlemen,”
If I understand correctly Tim Neville and everyone else who sought to get on the primary ballot via the convention failed to meet the 30% threshold and thus will not be on the ballot.
4 candidates skipped the convo, Robert Blaha, Ryan Frazier, Jack Graham and Jon Keyser, they are seeking to get on the ballot the conventional way, with petition signatures.
I would surmise that the Glenn and Keyser are now the main candidates in the primary.
In other news, 32-year old Calandra Vargas, an unknown, also had a well revived speech and romped on to the primary ballot against Congressman Doug Lamborn. Lamborn got only 35%, so I suppose he just barely made the ballot.
This editorial strikes a hopeful tone.
As AuH2o pointed out, Darryl Glenn’s biggest problem seems to be being low on $$, so hopefully he’ll get some love in that area.
Curious that Calandra Vargas is not even listed as a candidate on Politics1, and she managed to win over Lamborn for a ballot slot. That’s embarrassing for Lamborn.
Doug Lamborn makes a negative impression on many people. He played dirty to win his first election and obviously many are not in a forgive-and-forget mood.
Dylan Glenn’s victory is a surprise. I have nothing against him, but is he strong enough to win in November?
