He is a man or strong faith and integrity which keeps him on the right path to fight against the evil laws. He fights against tyranny in both parties. He has proven that he will do what he promises. He is supported by the Grassroots Patriot Republicans as well a large number of unaffiliated voters.

Bottoms is one of the Grassroots candidates that is fighting against the establishment Representatives who have joined with the Democrat Representatives and Secretary of State Gina Griswold who oppose closing the Republican primary election to non-Republicans.

Facts:

• Has no experience in legislating nor what is needed to govern
• His experience is in drawing people to donate money and has the ability to deceive people much like Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteend, Jim Bakker and others.
• Refuses to attend or participate in town hall meetings or debates
• Does not respond to emails and avoids questions, especially difficult ones.
• Runs away from conflict and denigrates people who question his character or what he would bring to the office.
• The above is who he is and how he would govern
• Petitioned on to the ballot to ensure he will be on the Primary Ballot (rather than only submitting to the Delegates). He didn't trust the elected Delegates at the assembly, so he petitioned on the ballot to guaranty a spot on the primary ballot.
• Has some very questionable campaign contributions and activities on Tracer. He appears to be the "Papa Smurf" of contributions.

Victor Marx is clearly a narcissist and more interested in himself than the people and it is clear that a vote for Marx is just... a vote for Marx. The only information in his endless emails as well as on his website is a constant drum-beat, "send me money!", no real content. Really wonder what he is hiding. When Marx does grace the public with his presents, he struts around like he thinks he is royalty while surrounded by at least four body guards (wonder who pays for them) to shield himself from the peasants attending the event. He supports and is supported by the establishment. These attributes are very similar to the current person occupying Colorado Governor's office... they may be interchangeable.

In 2023, she sponsored a bill that would have replaced the Caucus system with a petition based Primary, but the bill failed in Committee.

Her Liberty Scorecard shows she votes frequently with the Democrats, making her a very weak Republican. She doesn't believe in the caucus system and has petitioned on to the ballot every time ignoring the duly elected Delegates. Kirkmeyer is in favor of the open Republican primary. She takes away the voice of the Delegates and does not speak to her constituents at Assembly.

That is who he answers to. He is in favor of the open primary.

Supports and is supported by the establishment. Petitioned on the ballot after saying she would go thru the assembly. Pay to Play. Once again, doing an end-run around the duly elected Delegates. Didn't even bother to show up for the Assembly, most likely out of fear the Delegates would have kicked her off of the primary ballot. She is in favor of the open primary which allows non-Republicans to vote in the Republican primary. She is and will continue to be accountable and answer to the establishment and big money donors. When in the State House (District 20), she was known for working with the Democrats to get things she wanted passed by compromising. Just another wishy-washy compromising establishment legislator. When the left-wing establishment keeps calling for "unity", they run a weak person with a lackluster voting record against a proven Conservative incumbent with the TOP voting record. The establishment doesn't want "unity", they want conformity, control and power. Carver had a bad Liberty Score for her last 4 years in office of: 69.2% = D

Establishment... and is accountable to the establishment and big money donors (pay for play). After Mary Bradfield (one of the worst Representatives ever) didn't get enough votes in 2022 Assembly (because her voting record was the same as the Democrats) to be placed on the primary ballot. Miller (Vice-Chair of HD21 at that time), filed a lawsuit against the Republican leadership. A Democrat judge required a new Assembly, and a re-vote ensued where Bradfield got on the primary ballot (if it wasn't for this law fare, Bradfield would have been gone). Miller is another person, like Britta Horn (former disastrous GOP State Chair) and the Democrats, that will use the Democrat judicial system to get her way, NOT the will of WE THE PEOPLE. She chooses to work with the establishment's illegitimate rogue group that actively opposes the legitimate party leadership and Conservatives relentlessly.

These are the Republican candidates who filed to petition on the primary ballot doing an end-run on the duly elected Delegates. Seems they don't trust their ability to succeed in the Assembly elections, so they choose "pay to play" by having paid petition carriers gather signatures rather than only submitting to the Elected Delegates for ballot placement. They seem to answer to the money, not WE THE PEOPLE. Some may have withdrawn their petition after the assemblies, but that does not negate the fact that they petitioned first. This shows State and El Paso County races. There are others within the various counties.

• Barbara Kirkmeyer – Governor

The following establishment RINOs are fighting against closing the open primary election in Colorado (allows non-Republicans to vote in the REPUBLICAN primary) to select candidates for the general election. They have sided with the establishment RINO NRCC, Colorado Democrat Congressmen and Senators and the Democrat Colorado Secretary of State Gina Griswold to ignore the OVERWHEMING vote of the elected Colorado Republican State Delegation to close the primary. This is a violation of the "right of association" clause in the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution. The Republican Party is a private organization and has the sole right to determine its candidates. This violation is equivalent to the government dictating who the leadership and clergy is for YOUR church. It just so happens that all of these people support petitioning onto the ballot over submitting only to the duly elected Delegates at the Assembly. These traitors all need to be called out for their actions.
