Frankly I think Mark would make a great @cologop Vice Chair, but calling himself the "Honey Badger" just ain't right. You want that nickname, Mark? Make me an offer. There's only one Honey Badger in #copolitics, and you're reading him right now!
Time to Right the Ship – I’m Running for Colorado GOP Vice Chair
This is my official announcement: I will be running for the Colorado GOP Vice Chair at the upcoming State Central Committee meeting, following the abrupt resignation of D. Lee Phelan.
Let me be clear, this isn’t a decision I made lightly. I took time to pray, consulted with my closest political allies, and, most importantly, my incredible wife, Pam. After witnessing last week’s circus of a Zoom meeting and the jaw-dropping approval of a $2.4 million budget for two years—yes, million—it’s obvious we need a serious course correction. Just let this sink in, before we financially help our Colorado GOP candidates, we must now pay for all the overhead, again, $2.4 million!
Since the new leadership took over, there have been one resignation after another (well 2). First, the treasurer jumped ship. Now, the vice chair. The Colorado GOP isn’t just adrift; it’s like the Titanic, captained by Brita Horn and her crew of establishment insiders and RINOs who think “grassroots” is a brand to slap on a donor-funded power grab.
Yet this crew approved a budget like they’ve got Musk on speed dial. It’s fantasy finance, and it will leave our conservative candidates out in the cold, as we try to raise money just to pay for all the pork this budget contains. We cannot keep playing pretend with numbers while claiming to be “fiscally conservative.” If we are going to demand fiscal accountability in Washington, you’d better model it in Colorado.
I’m stepping forward to bring real grassroots values, fiscal discipline, operational transparency, and political courage, back to the table. Because someone has to be the adult in the room.
My platform is simple:
· Elect bold, unapologetic conservative Republicans to state and federal office.
· Work to complete closing the open primary.
· Help get our Colorado GOP fiscal house in order.
· And finally, inject real grassroots leadership into this party before it implodes under its own weight of hypocrisy.
To every member of the Colorado State Central Committee: I’m asking for your vote. Not just for me, but for the movement we represent, the one that doesn’t answer to donor dollars or backroom deals. I’ll stand firm where others fold. I’ll say the quiet things out loud. And I’ll fight like a Honey Badger to take our party and state back.
God bless you, and let’s get to work.

@suzannetaheri@JesseAPaul@lynn_bartels Or just hold a dunk tank fundraiser to pay the fine. If it doesn't cover the whole thing, you can always raid the petty cash drawer.
Geez it sounds like these guys could use a good lawyer. I'm more expensive than @michaelclfields but I would never make these rookie mistakes.

On the eve of the #coleg special session, an imposter account pretending to be @colo_politics legislative reporter @MGoodland shows up. Don’t be taken in, and report it to @X if you think that’ll do any good. #copolitics
Shout out to the @ColoGOP chairman's lawyer, Dave Pigott, who is apparently pinch-hitting for catfished Corporon and disbarred Eastman. You've come a long way, bro!
