Victor Marx

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, ensuring 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.

Victor Marx seems to be 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.

Barbara Kirkmeyer

Facts:

  • Current Colorado Senate District 23 (in 2nd term in office)
  • First 4 year term in office 2021-2024. Second 4 year term initiated 2025
  • Ran for Colorado's 8th Congressional District in 2022. Lost to Yadiro Caraveo
  • Liberty Score Card: 59% in 2026, 48.8% in 2025, 54.3% in 2024, 55.6% in 2023, average of 54.4% = F * (she votes like a Democrat)
  • Petitioned on to the Primary Ballot and WAS NOT at State Assembly. She ensured a spot on the Primary Ballot doing an end-run around the Delegates

In 2023, she sponsored a bill that would have replaced the Caucus system with a petition based Primary, but the bill failed in Committee. Kirkmeyer has proven to be an elected official that compromises with the Democrats and she might as will be one. Her Liberty Scorecard shows she votes nearly half the time 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. She takes away the voice of the Delegates and does not speak to her constituents at Assembly.

Establishment RINO! He might as well be a Democrat. He petitioned onto the Primary ballot so he will be accountable to the big money donors, not to WE THE PEOPLE. He was at the Congressional Assembly, but refused to go before the Delegates out of fear he would get kicked off the ballot, proving he is NOT for the people in the district. Hurd will say and do anything to get elected, including deceive, lie and manipulate the electorate to get votes. He sometimes votes with the Democrats and on has voted just to stop something the President Trumps wants. He is an advocate for turning the wolves loose in Colorado. He voted against censuring the islamist, American hater, Somali terrorist, fraudster, Congress Woman Ilman Omar. According to his website, he is endorsed by many Establishment elites throughout Colorado, includes the likes of RINO Larry Liston and most of them are has-beens. He is supported by Americans for Prosperity Action run by anti-Trump billionaire Charles Koch. Their political views do not promote prosperity for Americans; they support open borders, the homosexual community and other policies that are contrary to our Constitutional principles. Also supported by Colorado RINO never-Trumper Anschutz (who is a Brita Horn fan). Accepted an extremely large about of dark campaign money last election... and will continue answer to the establishment and donors.

Terri Carver

Supports and is supported by the establishment. Petitioned on the ballot after saying she would go thru the assembly. Once again, doing an end-run around the duly elected Delegates.

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.

Brenda Miller

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. 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, that will use the Democrat the court system to get their 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 relentlessly.

Petitioners

Real facts to help Voters choose wisely and according to their values

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 the petition after their assembly, but that doesn't negate the fact that they petitioned first. A large majority of the petitioners are from El Paso County.
