Senate Republicans will put an end to the “endless campaign” and work with Democrats, when necessary, to move Colorado forward, newly christened Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry, R-Grand Junction, pledged Thursday.
Penry, whose colleagues elevated him to leadership by acclamation, said his caucus will continue to offer solutions to the state problems and build on the accomplishments of outgoing Senate Minority Leader Andrew McElhany, R-Colorado Springs.
“Republicans have succeeded in shaping a number of the big policies, because we’ve been an idea machine,” Penry said. “We’re going to continue to stay on the offensive with ideas.”
Senator-elect Al White, R-Hayden, said Penry’s ascension to leadership is a coup not only for Republicans, but also for the Western Slope.

Your republicans are joining the democrats to destroy your state and that is “good news”?
How can someone work with the enemy? I’d be fighting them tooth and nail at every turn. Isn’t that what they do to the GOP?

Thanks geo.
Thanks for nothing, Bill Owens.
It should be obvious that Republicans need conservatives to be involved more now, as we reevaluate our party, leadership and how we can change to win in the future.
I hope any person from Colorado on this thread will contact me so we can help each other organize, if you are not sure how you can help or if you don’t know what to do.
I hope more Freepers and conservatives in Colorado will plan on getting more involved in their precinct, district and county to help us move to the right. For example, right now we need more people willing to stand up for Sarah Palin and her as a conservative.
