Casper Stockham, a three-time Republican congressional nominee in Colorado, announced his candidacy for state GOP chair late Friday, describing himself as a grassroots candidate who can unify a party that has “lost the will to fight against overreaching government.”
“I am a fighter, uniter and game changer!” the Air Force veteran and Uber Eats driver said in a Facebook video.
“I stand for election integrity, growing our base, supporting all GOP candidates and supporting the Constitution. We must unite as a party if we’re going to take back our state.”
Stockham joins three other candidates in the race to succeed U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, who announced in December that he wasn’t seeking a second term heading the Colorado GOP.
Already in the race are Kristi Burton Brown, the current vice chair of the state party and a constitutional law attorney; former Secretary of State Scott Gessler, an election law attorney; and Jonathan Lockwood, a veteran communications director for Republican candidates, elected officials and organizations.
The Colorado GOP will elect state-level officers — a chair, vice chair and secretary — to two-year terms on March 27 in a virtual meeting of its central committee, made up of elected officials and county officers and bonus members elected in reorganization meetings held through February.
