About Hunter…
Hunter Rivera is a lifelong, second-generation Weld County native who has spent his entire life in Windsor. His passion for politics and conservative leadership began in high school when State Senator John Cooke visited his political science class. That experience—followed by a trip to the State Capitol—solidified Hunter’s commitment to the Republican Party and public service.
Hunter’s involvement in the GOP started early. At just 17 years old, he joined the Northern Colorado Young Republicans and quickly took on leadership roles in conservative activism. During the 2020 election cycle, Hunter worked on Senator Cory Gardner’s campaign in Weld County and volunteered for multiple state house and senate races. Following that election, he was hired as a Legislative Aide for newly elected State Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer, gaining firsthand experience in policymaking at the Colorado State Capitol.
Hunter has since worked for multiple Republican leaders, including State Representatives Mike Lynch and Ryan Armagost. In 2022, he was hired by the RNC to work for the Colorado GOP as a field organizer in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, where he played a key role in volunteer recruitment, engagement, and deployment.
In 2024, Hunter took on a leading role in campaign management, serving as:
- Campaign Manager for Yazmin Navarro’s campaign for the State Board of Education
- Campaign Manager for Ryan Gonzalez’s campaign for House District 50
- Lead strategist for Dan Woog’s Cure effort
Hunter currently serves as Chairman of the Weld County Republican Party and National Committeeman for the Colorado Federation of Young Republicans. In these roles, he is focused on expanding grassroots engagement, strengthening the party’s influence, and ensuring Weld County remains a Republican stronghold.
Hunter remains committed to electing conservative candidates, mobilizing young Republicans, and shaping the future of the GOP through bold, principled leadership.
