Noteworthy events

Colorado Republican Party chair conflict

On August 24, 2024, members of the Republican Party of Colorado voted to remove Dave Williams as state party chairman. The vote occurred after Williams sent an email using derogatory language to describe members of the LGBTQ+ community. According to CBS News, he also called for the burning of pride flags on social media. The party's central committee voted to replace Williams with Eli Bremer.

Williams refused to recognize the results of the vote. In a text message to The Denver Post, Williams refuted the claim that he was no longer party chairman, saying the roughly 166 votes cast in favor of his removal (12 cast against his removal) could not decide for the 400 plus total members of the party's central committee.

Bremer filed a lawsuit to remove Williams from office, while Williams' supporters filed a counter lawsuit to have Bremer removed.

On September 26, 2024, El Paso County District Judge Eric Bentley wrote in an order that actions to remove Williams as chair and install Bremer were not valid.
