Just in case you were wondering, the El Paso County Republican Committee did not lift a finger to help or promote a single member of our party who were candidates in the recent municipal elections… And there were a lot of us running for office. The excuse I heard from one El Paso County Republican leader was that the election was non-partisan. True, but that was our Party’s excuse for sitting around and doing nothing. Just in case you were wondering what the Democrats were robustly doing in a non-partisan race, They held a forum for Mayor candidates MC’ed by Rod Rogers, the El Paso County Democrat Party 1st Vice Chair. People of faith - especially conservatives - are being lumped by the Democrat / Left into categories and itty bitty corners so the left can marginalize issues of Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness. Like a bunch of foolish dumb sheep, El Paso County Republicans with their pup-tent perspectives happily helped the Democrats by doing nothing. But it gets worse. Only 6 of the 23 people who were Mayor and City Council candidates were designated by Colorado for Life and Pikes Peak Citizens for Life as 100% Pro-Life. Of those six, only one got elected to city council - none are in the runoff for Mayor. This is what Republicans faced without the involvement of our County Republicans. To take this on in our city and county, we need a BIG Tent - not a pup-tent… Or in two election cycles, our county and city elected positions will be inhabited by the Democrat / Left.
