The Colorado Republican Party on Saturday selected a combative former state representative who promised to be a “wartime” leader as its new chairman
LOVELAND, Colo. — , joining several other state GOPs this year that have elected far-right figures and election conspiracy theorists to their top posts.
Williams crossed the required 50% threshold on the third ballot after being endorsed by one of his competitors, indicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who had failed to surpass 10%. Peters faces seven felony charges for her alleged role in illegally accessing voting machines in her county. She has denied the allegations while becoming a prominent national figure in the election conspiracy movement.
“Our party doesn't have a brand problem,” Williams told the group. “Our party has a problem with feckless leaders. ... We need a wartime leader." Like six of the seven candidates who ran, Williams advocated trying to overturn a ballot measure that requires the party to allow unaffiliated voters to cast ballots in its primary. All of the candidates except Kevin McCarney, a former Mesa County party chairman, expressed skepticism that Biden legitimately won the 2020 election.
