Victor Marx Wins the Republican Primary for Colorado Governor
The Marine veteran and ministry leader won with 39.9% of the vote and will face Democratic Attorney General Phil Weiser in November.
- On Thursday, The Associated Press declared political newcomer Victor Marx the winner of Colorado's Republican gubernatorial primary, concluding a race too close to call for more than a week.
- While state Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer initially led following early ballot returns, Marx steadily gained ground as Election Day votes filtered in, eventually securing a narrow victory of roughly 2,500 votes.
- Marx's campaign faced intense scrutiny over claims he killed a man at age 7 and performed 'high-risk humanitarian' operations; he retorted "Does it matter?" when pressed about his history.
- Marx will face Democratic Attorney General Phil Weiser in November's general election, an uphill battle for Republicans who haven't won Colorado's governor's office in more than 20 years.
- Primary opponents Kirkmeyer and state Rep. Scott Bottoms withheld endorsements, with Bottoms calling Marx a "con man" and Kirkmeyer calling him unfit, citing concerns about his rhetoric.
