Heidi Ganahl, the Republican nominee to face Democratic Gov. Jared Polis in November, has chosen Danny Moore, an election denier, as her running mate and would-be lieutenant governor.
Danny Moore was selected as running mate by Heidi Ganahl, the Republican nominee to face Democratic Gov. Jared Polis in November.
Moore, a Navy veteran from Colorado Springs, previously served as chair of the state’s Independent Redistricting Commission that redrew the Colorado congressional map.— though not from the commission altogether — by his colleagues in April 2021 due to controversial comments he’d made on Facebook.
The selection of Moore is the latest example of Ganahl embracing far-right conspiracists. She’s now working on this campaign with top associates of former President Donald Trump, Brad Parscale and Boris Epshteyn, and she recently appeared on Steve Bannon’s show, WarRoom. Ganahl, an elected University of Colorado regent, has consistently declined to condemn John Eastman, the former CU visiting professor who was central in the plot to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 election.
last month. She had previously said on conservative talk radio that her choice for running mate would be a Latino from a rural area. Colorado Politics reported July 7 that she had chosen Felix Lopez, a Las Animas County commissioner, but the outlet later pulled down its article because, it said on Twitter, “ campaign says Lopez is not her pick.” 9News reported later that Lopez confirmed he’d indeed been asked to serve in the role.
The two of them are set to make their first joint appearance at noon Wednesday at the Aurora restaurant JJ’s Place.
