RGA Chairman Chris Christie Congratulates Bob Beauprez on Colorado Gubernatorial Primary Victory

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Republican Governors Association issued the following statement on the outcome of the Colorado gubernatorial primary election:

“There is no doubt Bob Beauprez is ready and willing to step up and make Colorado strong again,” said RGA Chairman Chris Christie. “An experienced leader with Colorado roots that run deep, Beauprez has what it takes to revitalize the state’s economy, create good jobs and ensure opportunities for everyone eager to live, work and raise a family in the state. It’s time for Colorado to join the ranks of red states leading the country, and the Republican Governors Association is proud to support Bob Beauprez for governor.”

“Time and time again, Governor Hickenlooper’s failed leadership has hurt Colorado,” said RGA Executive Director Phil Cox. “He’s performed a disservice to the taxpayers by creating an oversized, overreaching state government that’s more extreme than they bargained for. Hickenlooper has stood idly by as his liberal policies have compromised the state’s economic growth and vitality. Colorado needs a real leader in the governor’s office who will put the state back on a path to prosperity and Bob Beauprez is that person.”
