Hi John,
The Jefferson County Republican Party is one of Colorado's most far-right county parties—hell, it might even be one of the furthest right in the country. In 2022, their chairman Rich Wyatt said, “it’s almost time to switch from ballots to bullets. Because that’s what wins the hearts and minds.”
Truly frightening and insane stuff.
So it should come as no shock that next month, the JeffCo Republican Party is rolling out the red carpet for Kyle Rittenhouse, who they have invited to go to one of their events next month.
You may remember Kyle Rittenhouse from 2020, when, as a minor, he shot three men, two fatally, during a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Since then, he has turned into a gun rights MAGA influencer, regularly appearing on right-wing podcasts and YouTube accounts. Now he’s been invited to Colorado by the JeffCo GOP to help them raise money and try to take over school boards—not great, and we need your help.
John, if there were ever a time to show your support for Colorado Democrats and our new year-round organizing programs we’re launching to fight this type of nonsense, it would be now. Our elected leaders fight to protect the 2nd amendment while passing and implementing common sense gun safety laws. And unlike Republicans in JeffCo, we believe our disputes should be solved at the ballot box and that you shouldn’t give folks a platform when their only claim to fame is committing political violence.
If you can, chip in a few bucks to help us make sure Colorado Democrats WIN at the ballot box and help defeat far-right Republicans in 2025 and 2026. >>
