Colorado GOP Governor Race Tightens | Denver News

The Colorado Republican gubernatorial primary is neck-and-neck, with Victor Marx holding a slim lead over State Senator Barb Kirkmeyer—just enough to trigger an automatic recount if the margin falls below half a percent. With ballots still being cured and final tallies expected by Thursday, July ninth, both candidates are bracing for a tense finish. Marx is pushing for transparency and preparedness for a recount, while Kirkmeyer remains focused on her supporters. Whoever wins will face Democratic nominee Phil Weiser in November—but a twist: Marx says he’ll support Kirkmeyer if she wins, while Kirkmeyer and Scott Bottoms won’t back Marx if he claims victory.
