Election integrity was the clear winner of the Colorado Republican Party’s Assembly and Convention this weekend, while Kristi Burton Brown’s establishment had their delusions of “normal” shattered in spectacular fashion.
The State event was held Friday at the Hilton Doubletree and Saturday at the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs and, based on this year’s local caucuses and assemblies I expected to see drama.
I wasn’t disappointed.
Friday began early with delegates arriving prior to 7am to obtain credentials and vote for their preferred candidates in the Congressional District assemblies.
Lauren Boebert swept CD3, which was not surprising given that she is favored by grassroots conservatives for her rhetoric. In a way, Boebert showed the people of Colorado what was possible in 2020, and she is still beloved across the state despite her absolute silence on the issues her constituents care about most.
In a shock to CD4 delegates, Bob Lewis – a completely unknown candidate to those of us in CD4 – was nominated from the floor to primary Ken Buck, also known as Ken–Dominion-is-the-gold-standard-and-everything-is-awesome-with-our-elections–Buck.
Lewis took 62% of the vote and will appear ahead of Buck on the primary ballot. As a CD4 voter who (for shame!) voted and advocated for Buck in 2018 and 2020, I cannot believe that I missed Buck’s electoral faceplant. I didn’t arrive until Friday evening, when those of us who value integrity enthusiastically toasted the outcome.
Current State Representative Dave Williams secured the top of the ticket in his challenge of incumbent CD5 representative Doug Lamborn. Lamborn decided to sit out the assembly process due to the fact that he is deeply unpopular with Republicans in his district.

Fair enough - you seem to be a bit more educated on the subject than I. LEO/former?
4 combat tours. 1 x IRQ and 3 x AFG. The one in Bosnia was rated a combat tour but it was too easy. No issues at all.
Man, if you got close enough to use a handgun in IRQ ....
Door to door. Searching for weapons caches and intelligence. They kicked the door down and I did the site survey.
They did the dangerous job but all of us had to keep eyes and ears open at all times.
