That’s what my grandfather used to say. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
The democrats elected a new state party chair. He is known to be strategic and smart. He has told us what his plan is and I believe him.
Murib said his job will be to protect and expand the state’s Democratic majorities in the statehouse and Congress, including defeating Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert. But he also promised a focus on rural and local politics, saying the “next frontier” was to win more elections for sheriff and county commissioner offices.
From THIS CPR article
The Democrats have conquered their “first frontier.” Not a single statewide elected office is held by a Republican. The D’s dominate. Governor. Secretary of State. Attorney General. Treasurer. Not a single Republican to be found. They have a majority in the Colorado Senate and a super-majority in the Colorado House. We’re not even a speed bump to their socialism.
Thankfully, the best government is the government closest to home. Municipal governments. School boards. Boards of county commissioners. In Weld County, these governments are still reasonably occupied by Republicans. The sheriff is a Republican. So is the Clerk and Recorder and the Assessor. All five County Commissioners and all five County Council members are Republicans.
“Sheriffs across the state refuse to enforce our gun safety laws. We have Republican county commissioners who won’t build affordable housing. They won’t enforce the oil and gas laws meant to keep our neighborhoods and schools safe. And Republican county clerks are straight up inviting corruption into their election offices, right?” he said, an apparent reference to the criminal charges against former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters.
The new Democrat state party chair
So Weld is red, right? It is, but not as red as you might think. Weld County has 33 municipalities and 17 school districts. I did a recent analysis on these local governments and here is what I found. Of the municipal governments I analyzed:
- 15% are Democrats
- 1% are Libertarians
- 31% are unaffiliated
- 51% are Republican
What about Weld’s 17 school boards? Of the analysis I did:
- 20% are Democrats
- 36% are unaffiliated
- 44% are Republican
Resounding majorities? They are not.
“Republicans have majorities in these seats across the state, and I believe the next frontier of Democratic politics must be local.”
The new Democrat state party chair
When someone tells you who they are, and what their plan is, believe them. The Democrats are focussed on coming for local governments. Don’t let them.
As a Chairman, one of my primary goals is to #KeepWeldRed by recruiting, supporting, and electing Republican candidates in local government elections. For too long, the Weld Republican Party has not actively participated in these races because they are “non-partisan.” I can assure you they are most certainly not. The new Democrat state party chair sees local government as the “new frontier.” He has told us who he is and what his plans are and we should believe him.
I know that Republican ideas are better for Weld County communities. Ideas on bolstering public safety, protecting our children, empowering parents and families, keeping government small, and protecting the God-given rights of the individual. As witnessed by their actions at the state capitol, the Democrats believe more in the power of government than the power of the individual. They believe they know better how to live your life than you do. They trust government and regulation more than they trust you.
It’s B.S. We make a little of that here in Weld County and I can identify it by its appearance and smell.
Join me in recruiting, supporting, and electing Republicans for town boards and councils, and school boards. If you want to be a candidate for a local government office, please contact me. In Weld County, its time to fortify and protect our frontier. Radical leftist and socialist ideas are not welcome here. Let’s work together to #KeepWeldRed.
