Colorado: New Colorado GOP Chair appears not as focused on recalls as the last one

The new Republican Party Chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown is taking a step back from the party's push for recalls under past chair Representative Ken Buck (who famously said in his acceptance speech in 2019 that "We need to teach them how to spell R-E-C-A-L-L." Unfortunately for him, the Democrats, who went from winning two presidential elections in the state between 1952-2004 to winning the last four straight, seemed to be focused on learning other words, such as blowout). 

Burton Brown was a leader in the recall effort against State Representative Tom Sullivan that failed, as did all the other recall efforts. 

Burton Brown noted: 

“I think that recalls can be an effective solution,” she told The Sun earlier this year. “We’ve seen them be effective in Colorado in the past. That specific recall, I’ll just say, I learned a lot from. Recall would not be a major strategy I would focus on as state party chairman. I think if any recalls happen, they need to be extremely selective and extremely strategic and there are better strategies to get our candidates in office.”
