Hello Colorado Republicans!

Election Day 2021 is in one week. If your ballots are not in yet, it is too late to mail them, but you can find the nearest drop box ([link removed]) . Or, you can go to a voting service center that is open in your area. Please get your vote in as soon as possible!

I want to thank a number of our elected officials who have taken extra time to sponsor walking and phone bank events for our local candidates across the state. Congressman Buck, Sen. Kirkmeyer, Sen. Smallwood, Rep. Baisley, Rep. Ransom, Rep. Van Winkle, Rep. Neville, Rep. Larson, and Council members Francoise Bergan and Dave Gruber have all joined in, along with myself, our Vice Chairman Priscilla Rahn, and our Secretary Marilyn Harris, to get out the vote for local candidates.

I have no doubt there are many other elected Republicans doing the same thing in their area, so a big thank you to them as well. Many of our county parties have stepped up to the plate and run their own GOTV efforts as well as helping us create a voter guide for these local elections. You can find those on our website cologop.org ([link removed]) under the "2021 Election Voter Guides" tab on the righthand side.

When you vote, please be sure to vote YES on Amendment 78 and YES on Prop 120! Amendment 78 will stop the Democrats from having a free-for-all slush fund of taxpayer money, and Prop 120 will give a property tax cut to ALL property owners. The Blue Book is wrong on Prop 120, so don't believe it.

Thanks for taking the time to care about this November's election. Make sure you check in on at least 10 other Republicans you know this week to be sure they voted, too -- and that they know who to vote for.

Thank you for voting and encouraging your friends to vote. If you have any other questions you can visit vote.gop.

** No-bid contracts to campaign contributors, top-dollar PR firms among 'custodial funds' spending in Colorado
------------------------------------------------------------

Colorado Springs Gazette ([link removed]) : Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold sent $2.8 million in federal emergency COVID-19 mitigation funds — almost half of the CARES Act cash allocated to her office — to a politically well-connected, Washington D.C.-based public relations and lobbying firm to produce a set of TV ads to educate Colorado voters about the 2020 election procedures.

Attorney General Phil Weiser directed around $250,000 to no-bid contracts for a handful of his campaign contributors or their firms, from a pot of money controlled by his office that's intended to help protect consumers from fraud.

Both are examples of government spending that has little to no oversight, from what are called “custodial funds,” which end up with state agencies to spend, but which don’t come from the state legislature's general fund budgeting process.

.....

A spokesperson for Weiser confirmed that $262,000 in no-bid contracts went to firms headed by a handful of attorneys who made large campaign contributions to Weiser’s campaign.

....

Griswold received millions of dollars in federal funds in 2020 as part of the CARES Act, aimed at mitigating negative effects on election participation caused by the global coronavirus pandemic.

Almost half of the $6.6 million spent by her office went to The Glover Parker Group, a Washington D.C.-based lobbying and PR firm, to produce TV ads to promote voting in the 2020 election. Although an initial no-bid contract was penned in August 2020 for $1.8 million, additions and changes to the contract over the next few months led to a total of $2.8 million directed to the firm.
