LOVELAND, Colo. (AP) The Colorado Republican Party on Saturday selected a combative former state representative who promised to be a wartime leader as its new chairman, joining several other state GOPs this year that have elected far-right figures and election conspiracy theorists to their top posts.
The move in Colorado comes as the party totters on the brink of political irrelevance in a state moving swiftly to the left.
Former State Rep. Dave Williams, who unsuccessfully tried to insert the phrase Lets Go Brandon into his name on the partys primary ballot last year and insists incorrectly that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election, was selected by the partys executive committee out of a seven-person field.
Williams crossed the required 50% threshold on the third ballot after being endorsed by one of his competitors, indicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who had failed to surpass 10%. Peters faces seven felony charges for her alleged role in illegally accessing voting machines in her county. She has denied the allegations while becoming a prominent national figure in the election conspiracy movement.
