ICYMI: Ron Hanks Stands Out in Field of Unknown GOP Senate Candidates
“The power vacuum could be filled by a Senate candidate with the best name ID, such as state Rep. Ron Hanks,”
Denver, CO – Insurrectionist and GOP Senate candidate Ron Hanks is standing out among a field of unknown candidates. Hanks continues to make waves in national media for using the Big Lie to boost his campaign and for sponsoring bills based on election conspiracy in the state legislature while the rest of the candidates remain widely unknown.
Two-thirds of the GOP House caucus voted to formally thank Hanks for attending the Jan. 6th insurrection and he is being applauded for claiming Donald Trump won the 2020 election. In a year where Republican caucus-goers are focused on “baseless concerns about fraud caused by Dominion Voting Systems equipment,” a candidate like Ron Hanks could thrive at the state assembly and land on the primary ballot.

Wadhams said he didn’t think the U.S. Senate GOP slate worked very hard to try to persuade supporters to become delegates, leaving the battle to make the primary ballot especially wide open.
“In the Senate (race), most of these people are really unknown,” he said. “They are people who haven’t had much visibility in the party before.”
The power vacuum could be filled by a Senate candidate with the best name ID, such as state Rep. Ron Hanks, a Fremont County Republican who has embraced and spread unfounded conspiracies about fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Or it could be filled by a candidate who simply gives the best speech to delegates at the state assembly.
Hanks declined to discuss his caucus and assembly strategy, but he said he feels confident “where we’re at right now.”
“We’ve got a good plan in the works,” he said. “I really have no worries on this. I’m putting this on faith.”
