ROUNDUP: Far-Right GOP Gubernatorial Candidates on the Issues
In a contest to see who can run the weakest campaign, Greg Lopez and Heidi Ganahl are neck and neck in the GOP gubernatorial primary. Both candidates are extreme, out-of-touch conservatives who have been hobbled by a divisive primary.
Greg Lopez is an extreme, unserious candidate whose only commitment is to the Republican culture war.
Believes Trump won the 2020 election and compared it to the Kennedy assassination
Argues there should be “no exceptions” for abortion bans.
Supported arming teachers in schools and permitless open carry.
Heidi Ganahl is a hard-right conservative who is out of step with Colorado voters and struggles to unify the base.
Ganahl would “roll back” vital abortion protections in Colorado
Ganahl would repeal gun control measures, including red flag laws and magazine capacity bans
Ganahl supported an election conspiracy group and refuses to denounce insurrectionist John Eastman–called him “fantastic” and “stellar.”
The GOP choices for governor are far-right partisans without hope of succeeding in a general election. No matter who the Republican primary winner is, they will continue to be out of step with Colorado voters.” - Colorado Democratic Party spokesperson Kailee Stiles
