ICYMI: Media Across Colorado Highlights Republican Unity, Democrats Remain Divided

Mitchell, Lopez, Robinson Lead Charge for Unity

Denver, Colorado – One day after prominent elected Republicans from across Colorado quickly closed ranks around Walker Stapleton to lead the charge against Jared Polis, former Republican primary competitors joined with Walker Stapleton in a statewide unity tour that one Colorado journalist called “a pretty powerful show of unity.”

As Democrats remain divided over Jared Polis’s radical plans to destroy Colorado’s energy economy along with 230,000 jobs, institute a Bernie Sanders-style government run healthcare system, and raise taxes on hardworking Colorado families, Republicans will continue to unite and advocate for economic opportunities that will benefit all of Colorado’s families.
