Team Victor Weekly Update - Jan 18th 2026

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM VICTOR…

This is about leadership—not money, hype, or politics as usual.

My goal has never been to be seen as a fundraiser or a political insider, but as a leader. I stepped into this race as a non-politician after becoming painfully aware of how far Colorado has drifted and what it would take to turn it around.

In just 90 days, I assembled a top-tier team and accomplished what no Republican candidate for

governor has ever done—through daily leadership decisions, disciplined execution, and a strategy that is both focused and adaptable. The result is clear: this campaign is now the only one with a credible pathway to victory for the GOP.

The same unconventional, results-driven leadership that built this campaign will carry us through the general election and into the governor’s office. I’ve already shown that I do exactly what I say I will do—and that’s the kind of leadership Colorado needs.

Let’s win this for Colorado!

WHAT EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT!

We are proud to announce that on Friday, the Victor Marx campaign for Colorado Governor filed its first financial report, with an incredible $621,600.75 raised as of December 31, 2025, with over $348,020.83 in cash on hand!

This is a powerful testament to the support of 4,133 donors from all 64 counties, solidifying Victor’s position as the leading candidate for the Republican nomination.

A striking contrast has emerged between Victor Marx and his Republican opponents. Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, who has been campaigning longer, raised $193,000 in the fourth quarter, while Rep. Scott Bottoms garnered just $37,000 during the same timeframe.

With such strong support, it’s clear Victor Marx is not just a candidate—he’s a dominant force in the race to become Colorado’s next governor!

Victor’s grassroots campaign is resonating not just with Republicans but also with many Unaffiliated and Democrat voters, making him the only Republican candidate with a clear path to victory. “Everywhere we go, people are yearning for change,” said Victor. Read the full press release HERE.

BRING TINA PETERS HOME — NOW!

Just last week, Polis referred to Tina’s nine-year prison sentence as “harsh.” Well, it was just as “harsh” back in 2024!  It’s shocking to see Governor Polis and the Colorado Democrats continue to play politics with Tina Peters life, using justice for her as a poker chip against the White House.

At 70 years old, Tina deserves to spend her remaining years at home, not in prison. When I take office, I won’t treat clemency as a political tool. I will stand up for justice for those like Tina who genuinely deserve compassion and a second chance.

I will free Tina Peters on day one, it’s the right, fair, and compassionate thing to do. Let’s bring Tina Peters home — NOW!

MORE RECKLESS DEMOCRAT SPENDING…

The Democrat-controlled Colorado legislature, under Governor Polis, exemplifies fiscal irresponsibility by prioritizing wasteful spending over the needs of hardworking Coloradans.

In the midst of an alarming $850 million budget shortfall that threatens essential services, these lawmakers are forging ahead with a controversial project to renovate the state Capitol complex at a staggering cost exceeding $100 million.

While families across Colorado are tightening their belts, the Democrats continue to plunge taxpayers deeper into debt, demonstrating a shocking lack of accountability and a blatant failure to manage the state's resources responsibly. This is a clear call to action for Coloradans to demand better stewardship of their hard-earned money.
