Former County Treasurer Brita Horn elected as Colorado Republican State Party Chair

Colorado Republicans have elected Brita Horn as the new state GOP chair during their biennial reorganization meeting in Colorado Springs. Horn, a former county treasurer and party activist, aims to move the party past internal fights that have allowed Democrats to consolidate control of state government. She defeated Lori Saine in a close race. Horn takes over a party that has been divided and embroiled in disputes under outgoing chair Dave Williams, who sued her and others for a failed “coup.” Horn stressed unity and the need for results in her speech at the meeting, emphasizing the importance of bringing the party together to win elections. Other candidates who ran for chair withdrew after the first round of voting. The reorganization meeting was held in a hybrid format due to the pandemic, with around 100 members participating remotely. The Democratic party chair, Shad Murib, criticized Horn for her previous government job and alleged political favors. The story is developing, and updates will be provided.
