Today, there’s just one Republican woman in the state Senate and six in the House. That compares with 37 Democratic women in the two chambers.
The Colorado Republican Party is looking to reverse the trend. The party on Wednesday announced a new Women in Action program to get more women candidates — and voters — involved ahead of the 2020 election.
The party’s Vice Chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown is leading the effort, with several other prominent GOP women listed as founding members. “It’s one of the top priorities at the state party,” Brown said. “One of our main priorities is recruiting and training women around the state, and just getting them involved in our ground efforts.”
The program is designed to trumpet President Donald Trump’s record and help to engage women voters through door-to-door canvassing efforts.
In Colorado at the start of the year, 38% of registered women voters were unaffiliated, 34% were Democrats and 26% were Republicans. Among all voters, 41% were unaffiliated, 30% were Democrats and 28% were Republicans.
