COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The path to Republican victories in the November elections runs through El Paso County, party representatives and candidates said Wednesday as the Colorado Republican Party set up shop in downtown Colorado Springs.
“I need your help,” GOP gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton told about two dozen local Republicans at an event christening the state party’s newest satellite location. “I need your help to make phone calls, to talk to Democrats, to talk to Independents, to get out the vote, and this is the place to do it.”
Stapleton’s campaign is out-financed six to one by Democratic candidate Jared Polis, according to recent campaign finance reports filed with the Secretary of State’s Office. But Stapleton said he is undaunted.
Even so, El Paso County Republican Party Chairman Josh Hosler urged those in attendance to open their wallets and purses. The state party’s new shop is located inside the county party’s headquarters.
“The biggest thing right now is money for these candidates,” Hosler said. “Get your checkbooks out, start writing checks and volunteering at the county level.”
