Grateful to those standing for election integrity! CALL A MEETING Lisa Frizell and the rest of you on the audit committee!!!!! “FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE: 10/31/2024 CONTACT: DAVE@COLOGOP.ORG SEN. KEVIN VAN WINKLE DEMANDS THE AUDIT COMMITTEE INVESTIGATE & HOLD ACCOUNTABLE JENA GRISWOLD FOR HER LEAK & SCANDAL COVER-UP. (Greenwood Village, CO) – State Senator Kevin Van Winkle, who is a member of the Legislative Audit Committee (LAC), sent a letter to legislative leaders demanding an emergency meeting of the committee concerning the ever widening election scandal and cover-up involving the Colorado Secretary of State. As disclosed this past week, the Colorado Secretary of State, Jena Griswold, posted highly confidential election system passwords online for months. The passwords were viewable by anyone, including county clerks, employees, and third-party vendors with physical access to election systems who are prohibited to have BIOS passwords. Sen. Van Winkle agreed that her public response was insufficient and raised even more concerns than it addressed. Again, the BIOS passwords access the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), which runs “underneath” the operating system. Its vulnerabilities present such a grave threat according to Griswold’s own standards, which is why her own election rules forbid their disclosure to all but a few trusted State employees.[1] In the Tina Peters trial, a senior State official even testified that release of these passwords in a single county represented a grave threat. The Colorado Republican Party commends Sen. Kevin Van Winkle for his commitment to election security and building trust with the public. We also join with Sen. Van Winkle in calling for legislative leaders, especial Republicans like LAC Chairwoman Rep. Lisa Frizell, to organize an emergency hearing that allows lawmakers to get to the truth of what the Secretary knew and when she knew about it.

In Colorado, Republicans ran a bill requiring medical attention be given to a child that survives an abortion and is living outside the womb. Democrats killed the bill. Make no mistake, Democrat lawmakers are all for late-term and post-birth abortion.

@PatrickWarnaka @DagnyforDA But that's not correct. JD 23 was created in 2020 by House Bill 20-1026 leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb20-1026. I sponsored both JD23 (1026) and HCR 22-1005 (later known as Amendment D), and helped pass both. Both are positive for DougCo and Colorado, but HB20-1026 was the creation, not Amend D

Today’s COGOP primary race is the 23rd Judicial District. It was created in 2022, when voters passed Amendment D & comprises Douglas, Elbert, & Lincoln Counties. There are two candidates: @DagnyforDA (COGOP endorsed): —She’s got a pretty standard legal background she was a deputy DA for “many years” (she doesn’t specify). —She also has a rather baffling section on her website accusing the Anschutz family of being “leftist donors.” Idk why she thinks this, Phil Anschutz has a long history of donating to Republican & Conservative causes. @GeorgeBrauchler is the other candidate: —He sports endorsements from all 3 county sheriffs in the 23rd JD, as well as 3 former US Attorneys, a former COAG, Bill Owens & Corey Gardner (maybe they’re just leftist donors tho) —He’s got 29 years of experience including as a Deputy DA, SA US Attorney, & some military justice positions. Brauchler’s diversity of experience and broad support among law enforcement within the 23rd JD make him the no brainer option in this race you can count on to be strong on crime & put criminals in jail. Vote Baruchler.

Today, Ready Colorado celebrates the signing of House Bill 24-1448! In an incredible victory for kids, Colorado’s school funding formula will now prioritize and support the unique needs of students. #COpolitics

#Coleg does not have to deal with this critical issue, because it is working hard to protect juvenile criminals from accountability and consequences. They have their priorities, and unless you are a criminal, you are not one of them.

I joked in committee that I don’t agree often with @SenatorKVW, but when we do, it’s pretty great. Together we passed a bill out of committee to increase hospital transparency and consumer protections for Coloradans on a 7-2 vote. #coleg #copolitics

UNANIMOUS! The Senate's Health & Human Services committee voted unanimously to approve my bipartisan bill with @SenatorKVW, legislation helping youths in foster care get placed with kin and family members. #COLeg #COPolitics The bill: leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb23-1024

🎉🎉 Senator Van Winkle's bi-partisan school safety bill passed unanimously in Committee! 📜 SB-43 will extend the SAFER grant program which provides funds to schools for training programs & enhanced communication methods w/ first responders during an emergency. #COpolitics

"What will Republicans do over the next two years? We will stand for this Constitution and we will stand with the People who gave us this Constitution.” - @Chris_Holbert #COleg #COpolitics

I wish someone would report the truth, this was retaliation against a nonpartisan staffer who tried to protect other nonpartisan staffers from harassment. cpr.org/news/story/inc…

Dem Leaders are backing another measure that will raise the cost of living for all of Colorado while putting many out of a living completely...appeasing their billionaire buddies, but making the average citizen’s life more difficult and destroying our economy. #copolitics
