A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM VICTOR…
What an extraordinary week on the Rescue Colorado Tour.
I continue to be surprised — not by the opposition, not by the noise — but by the caliber and character of the people we are meeting across this state.
Last night we held a fundraiser in downtown Denver. I was warned repeatedly that Denver would be “difficult ground.” I was told independents would be hard to reach. I was told Democrats wouldn’t show up.
The event was hosted by a long-time Democrat.
In attendance were Democrats, unaffiliated voters, and even individuals who have supported Phil Weiser in his run for governor.
That’s not a typical political room. That’s a room full of Coloradans who care about the future of this state more than party labels.
We have established a strong Republican base — and we are now engaging independents and unaffiliated voters at scale. Thousands have switched from unaffiliated to Republican in order to sign our petition and put us on the ballot. Many who have never participated in the political process are being trained through our website, attending caucus for the first time, and becoming delegates so they can vote at assembly.
This is not business as usual.
At a recent rally, I asked if anyone had never voted before. A 70-year-old man raised his hand. He told me he has never cast a ballot in his life — but he will vote this year to put me in the governor’s office. (Watch the video HERE)
That is what awakening looks like.
There is a hunger for change across Colorado. People feel it. You feel it. I feel it. And while I don’t pretend to understand every part of what’s unfolding, I know this: prayer makes the difference.
Every morning from 6:50 to 7:00 a.m., my bride and people from across Colorado — and even around the country — gather on Zoom to pray for this campaign and for our state. Faith in action is not a slogan for us. It is our foundation.
THANK YOU.
Thank you for your prayers.
Thank you for your financial support.
Thank you for signing petitions.
Thank you for becoming delegates.
Thank you for putting signs in your yards, bumper stickers on your cars, and wearing the hats and merchandise with pride.
We are not slowing down. We have multiple events today and many more ahead.
No one will outwork us.
No one will out pray us.
And no one can offer the kind of principled, integrity-driven change we are bringing to the Governor’s office.
The momentum is real.
Colorado is ready.
Let’s continue the work.
— Victor

STANDING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
Denver’s recent move to impede federal immigration enforcement is a troubling step away from the rule of law. This new directive requires Denver police officers to intervene with and even detain ICE agents if they PERCEIVE any "excessive force." This approach not only obstructs federal law enforcement but also undermines the safety of our communities.
This move is a classic case of misunderstanding both federal law and the Supremacy Clause. It’s a slippery slope Denver is sliding down, one that continues to breed lawlessness and puts our citizens and businesses in harm's way.
It should be clear – no local official has the right to stop ICE from enforcing federal law on public property when they are protecting our communities.
I stand firmly with our local, state, and federal law enforcement officers, as do the vast majority of law-abiding Coloradans. These dedicated individuals put their lives on the line every day to keep our neighborhoods safe, and we cannot allow political agendas to interfere with their crucial work. Instead of hindering federal agents who are tasked with enforcing our laws, we should be supporting them in their efforts to maintain order and protect our families.
It's time for Colorado to reaffirm its commitment to the rule of law.
We must prioritize the safety and well-being of our citizens and ensure that our laws are respected and upheld. The safety of our communities should always come first, and that means standing together with our law enforcement officers against any efforts that seek to undermine their authority. Our citizens safety must always come before political posturing.
A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM EILEEN MARX
Bold as a Lion…
“The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.”
— Proverbs 28:1
When I sit in the audience at these rallies, I’m not analyzing the speech. I’m watching the people.
I’m listening to the tone in the room. I’m paying attention to what’s happening beyond the words.
And I keep sensing the same thing.
When Victor speaks, there’s a steadiness that comes from deep conviction. He’s not trying to win applause. He’s not trying to provoke emotion. He’s simply saying what he believes is true — about faith, about families, about responsibility, and about the direction of our state.
And something shifts.
I feel it sitting there.
It’s like a fire has been kindled.
Not the kind of fire that destroys.
Not anger.
Not chaos.
The right kind of fire.
The kind that brings warmth.
The kind that gives light.
The kind that reminds people they don’t have to be afraid to stand for what they believe.
That verse in Proverbs says the righteous are as bold as a lion.
To me, that kind of boldness isn’t loud. It’s steady. It comes from integrity. From a clear conscience. From knowing who you are and what you stand for.
And what’s been especially moving to me is this — it’s not just happening on the stage.
I’m watching our team members step up and demonstrate this same kind of leadership. Quiet strength. Initiative. Responsibility. Courage.
It’s contagious.
Boldness rooted in conviction has a way of spreading. It gives others permission to stand taller, to speak clearly, to lead where they are.
And that encourages me deeply.
Something good is being lit across this state.
And I’m grateful to witness it.
— Eileen
TEAM VICTOR!
We want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to our amazing volunteers. Your dedication in collecting petition signatures, supporting our events, and spreading the word about our campaign is what keeps us moving forward. We couldn’t do this without you!
Each of you plays a crucial role in our mission to make Colorado a safer, more secure, and affordable place for hardworking families.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to the 2,260 SELFLESS VOLUNTEERS who have given their time and spirit to support our cause. Your unwavering commitment is the backbone of our campaign.
We also want to extend a warm welcome to the 470 NEW VOLUNTEERS who have joined “Team Victor” this month. Your energy and enthusiasm are infectious, and we are thrilled to have you on board!
Our movement continues to grow, gaining energy and momentum every day. This surge reflects the excitement and commitment of people across our communities who are stepping up and making a difference. The momentum is real, and it’s clear that together, we are creating something powerful – and we’re just getting started!
WE’RE GONNA DOGE MEDICAID
The ongoing issues within Colorado’s Medicaid program are a glaring example of what happens when government spending spirals out of control.
This unchecked growth is not just a statistic; it has real consequences for the people of Colorado. An ever-expanding Medicaid program is a primary driver of this unsustainable trajectory.
As your next governor, I will take decisive action to tackle these challenges head-on. First, we must implement a rigorous audit process to eliminate wasteful spending. Independent auditors will shine a light on every corner of our Medicaid program, ensuring that every dollar is accounted for and that no fraudulent activities slip through the cracks.
Next, I will establish a dedicated task force focused specifically on tackling Medicaid fraud. This team will investigate anomalies, conduct regular reviews, and hold accountable those who misuse taxpayer dollars. We need to send a clear message: waste will not be tolerated in our state.
Finally, transparency is essential. We must foster a culture of openness in government, making budgetary processes accessible to all Coloradans. When citizens can see where their money goes, they can help us ensure it’s spent wisely.
Together, we will restore integrity to Colorado’s Medicaid program, prioritize the needs of our citizens, and put an end to wasteful practices that jeopardize our state’s future.
