The Spin


Republican narrative

Marx gives Republicans a real shot at winning this election and turning the state around after eight years of failed Democratic leadership. As a U.S. Marine, Marx brings the kind of backbone Colorado needs to crack down on crime, cut income taxes and slash red tape. High costs, unaffordable housing and unsafe neighborhoods demand bold leadership, and Marx is ready to deliver.

Democratic narrative

Marx is a deeply flawed nominee who claims to have killed people, led civilian military ops against the Islamic State group and performed phone exorcisms. None of which screams credible governance, and voters shouldn't buy his act. Colorado deserves the serious leadership Weiser can provide, not a candidate built on wild claims and zero political experience.
