Victor Marx Surprises Colorado GOP | Denver News

Victor Marx, a self-described spiritual warrior and Marine veteran with a controversial past, has pulled off a stunning upset to become Colorado’s Republican gubernatorial nominee — defeating establishment favorite Senator Barb Kirkmeyer in a razor-thin primary race.

His campaign, fueled by faith, martial arts flair, and claims of overseas humanitarian work, has raised millions — outspending all his rivals combined — while touting conservative staples like tax cuts and tough-on-crime stances. His path to victory reveals a growing rift within the GOP between old guard politicians and bold, unconventional voices — and his next battle? A general election against Attorney General Phil Weiser.
