Durango Herald: The head of the Colorado Republican Party touted the party’s slate of candidates as “problem-solvers” committed to lowering the cost of living and reducing crime, as the party prepares an election season push to snag offices currently held by Democrats.
“Unfortunately, the Democrats have consistently refused to solve Colorado’s worst problems, and they continue to make them worse,” GOP Chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown said at a Tuesday’s news conference outside the Mile High Station event venue in Denver.
She said Democrats shut down schools unnecessarily, “hiked taxes and fees,” and allowed violent crime to rise.
“Colorado voters are independent-minded people, people like us who want the right to make choices in our own lives. Unless we’re doing something that hurts someone else, we should have the freedom to make our own way. People across the state tell me that Democrats have stifled these choices,” Burton Brown said.
Republicans were marking one year since they unveiled their “Commitment to Colorado” legislative package of over 40 bills they said prioritized affordability, safety and expanded educational choice. Five of those bills passed the Legislature.
