Hello Republicans,
Resolution from the Republican State Assembly: Ensuring Transparency
We are re-sending the State Assembly Resolution, which received an overwhelming standing affirmative vote from the delegates. It's important to remember that on April 6th, 2024, the State Assembly took place in Pueblo, operating under a Republican form of government. Over 2000 individuals were elected by their communities to represent their counties from across the state and make these crucial policy decisions.
Please take note the Colorado Revised Statutes Title 1, Elections § 1-3-106, which asserts that the Colorado Republican State Assembly & Convention holds the ultimate authority to "provide rules that shall govern the state central committee" in accordance with CRS 1-3-106 (2). Additionally, it's worth noting that this does not violate state bylaws. The questionnaire was crafted based on our RCN Republican Platform adopted in 2016 and offers further transparency among all candidates
Resolution #10: Endorsement of All Assembly Candidates for State Office or Higher
"Whereas dark left wing money agitators, and groups, RINO saboteurs are trying to eliminate the caucus and assembly process through ballot initiatives, legislation, and open primaries while encouraging candidates to bypass Party delegates by paying for petition signatures and not submitting themselves to a vote of an assembly,
Be It Resolved that the Colorado Republican Party endorses and supports only those candidates in the primary election who have gone through the caucus and assembly process while subjecting their candidacy to a vote of their respective district assemblies.
Be It Further Resolved, that county Parties, and any other district central committees, are also allowed to endorse and support candidates that have gone through the caucus and assembly process while subjecting their candidacy to a vote of their respective district assemblies.
This resolution only applies to candidates who have successfully achieved ballot designation through their respective assemblies, and where any assembly that may have had multiple candidates achieving ballot designation, it will be the discretion of the state officers, in consultation with the central committee officers of the assemblies in question, who may choose to apply this endorsement to every candidate, a single candidate, or none.”
For Liberty & Freedom,
Hope Scheppelman
Vice- Chairwoman, Colorado Republican Party
