Speaker 1: I've got the Colorado share person of the GOP, Britta
Speaker 1: Horn on the phone with me on the horn with me,
Speaker 1: as we say, Britta, and we've got some big news.
Speaker 1: When is the assembly happening and where?
Speaker 2: Britta csu Pludlow April tenth and eleven, Friday and Saturday,
Speaker 2: all in one location. We are so darn excited about it.
Speaker 1: So what is there? Let's let's talk like we're only
Speaker 1: talking to transplants who just moved here and have no
Speaker 1: idea about our political system. What is the State Assembly?
Speaker 1: And why do we have it?
Speaker 2: So? Obviously because it's state statue, so both sides have it,
Speaker 2: and it's saying that you have come a assembly. Whether
Speaker 2: in person or online, we choose to do online to
Speaker 2: see each other because we like family and we like interacting.
Speaker 2: We like the relationships community, we like being a part
Speaker 2: of each other looking at each other face to face.
Speaker 2: So at the State Assembly it will be.
Speaker 1: Well, wait, Britta, wait, stop staying now. Wait yeah, I
Speaker 1: can hear you now as you said the state Assembly
Speaker 1: and then and then he dropped out Assembly.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to find a better spot. I'm driving
Speaker 2: up a help. State Assembly will be where don't we
Speaker 2: decide who's going to be, you know, for our candidates
Speaker 2: or Republicans, And we have so many to have, you know,
Speaker 2: especially with the governors and then some others. We have
Speaker 2: some single feats right now because that could change as well,
Speaker 2: but we're making sure that somebody gets at least thirty
Speaker 2: percent from that body of people to be on the
Speaker 2: primary ballot to win on June thirtieth, to be our
Speaker 2: single candidate for governor all the way down all the
Speaker 2: different seats and then out of host district seats, the
Speaker 2: Senate district seats, Judicial district seats, all the seats.
Speaker 1: So now you just said a single candidate. So people,
Speaker 1: what's the situation with people petitioning on.
Speaker 2: Well, I can still petition on absolutely, but I'm not
Speaker 2: talking just governor. So right now, one person for ad
Speaker 2: right now. He just announced yesterday, right.
Speaker 1: And I have I have seen I have DA Michael
Speaker 1: Allen coming on the show tomorrow to talk about that.
Speaker 1: So that an attorney general's race is going to be critical,
Speaker 1: especially if Jennet Griswold manages to get that nomination. I
Speaker 1: just I think Democrats have to be smarter than that.
Speaker 1: But I don't know so we got to get get
Speaker 1: that attorney general candidate going. Now, Britten, let me ask you,
Speaker 1: how are the how are the ballots going to be counted?
Speaker 1: This has been a very contentious issue lately. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that you guys are already working to make
Speaker 1: this a very smooth running assembly.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, So I have our assembly group. We're sumbling it
Speaker 2: right now and getting together making sure we get all
Speaker 2: the numbers, all the ballots. Of course we want to
Speaker 2: do paper ballots to that I don't I don't see
Speaker 2: another the other way to do it. So I'm wear
Speaker 2: to do a paper ballots or whatever, just like we
Speaker 2: do in our state Central Committee meetings, and we'll make
Speaker 2: sure everybody turns them in different colors again to be clear,
Speaker 2: you know all the things. So I think that's best
Speaker 2: for all of us. But it's going to be a long.
Speaker 1: Day for sure, Yeah, I would imagine. So there's a
Speaker 1: lot on deck. How do people get to participate in
Speaker 1: the state assemblies? Again, talking to those new on transplants,
Speaker 1: So go to.
Speaker 2: Their county party the couch. You may be Republicans, you
Speaker 2: got to be a Republican, go to go to your
Speaker 2: county assembly. You gotta go first university, your cocus. You
Speaker 2: got to go to. Your caucuses are going to be
Speaker 2: between March third and seventh. Like I said, for US Republicans,
Speaker 2: bands were Democrats. So you got to find out when
Speaker 2: your caucus is, go to there, and then go to
Speaker 2: your county assembly. So your county assembly will ask the pieces.
Speaker 2: But then if you want to be for some different
Speaker 2: people as your couch district, confessional district, judicial district, you
Speaker 2: got to find those assemblies and go to that because
Speaker 2: you need to become a delegate. And we'll make sure
Speaker 2: we have all the delegate numbers out however how much
Speaker 2: everybody can have, and then we come to state if
Speaker 2: you're a delegate or an alternate. You can be an
Speaker 2: alternate too if I get moved up because things happen,
Speaker 2: go ahead.
Speaker 1: So how many days? What are we looking at as
Speaker 1: a commitment. I'm just thinking of people that maybe work
Speaker 1: during the day or you know, because that's a Friday
Speaker 1: off in Pueblo that people have to take. How many
Speaker 1: days do you have to commit to from that first
Speaker 1: assembly in your county, your district straight through to the
Speaker 1: state Assembly. What are you looking at?
Speaker 2: There's let's come package. You've got a contradist one evening
Speaker 2: somewhere or a Saturday, Okay, then you have to go
Speaker 2: to an assembly that's another day. And then like you said,
Speaker 2: for if you're going to be part of a multi
Speaker 2: district you know, we want to say these smaller assemblies
Speaker 2: that are just you know, hdcs, sds, all them that
Speaker 2: could be another day in Denver or Sydney, plublow during
Speaker 2: the day. And then for the state Assembly is on
Speaker 2: day Saturday, and then on Friday night we're gonna have
Speaker 2: our centennial dinner and we're looking forward to have some
Speaker 2: really great speakers for that as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I think that people like people need to
Speaker 1: understand the time commitment first of all, because it's not
Speaker 1: just you're getting elected to go like if you're a
Speaker 1: precinct captain, you have responsibilities, and I think this is
Speaker 1: one of the things that people need to understand. But
Speaker 1: if you want to be more politically active, if you
Speaker 1: want to you know, go out and campaign for great candidates,
Speaker 1: then this is a perfect way to dip your toe
Speaker 1: in the water and get involved, right, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: pretty basic, it is. It is a great way to
Speaker 1: meet a lot of people in the party. If you
Speaker 1: want to jump in and start working on party politics.
Speaker 1: So how so they just need to call their county office,
Speaker 1: their their county Republican office and get the details. That's
Speaker 1: all they have to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Our look on Facebook is a lot of them
Speaker 2: might not have phone numbers, but they have a web
Speaker 2: should have a website, should have a Facebook, should be
Speaker 2: able to find them somewhere. You're more welcome to go
Speaker 2: to our website clogop dot org and on our page
Speaker 2: we also have to click on counties to click all
Speaker 2: the counties are there as well, and we really love
Speaker 2: when you go over there, sign up for the newsletters,
Speaker 2: find out what's going on now at the state level,
Speaker 2: but really get your home all the way down to
Speaker 2: your local level.
Speaker 1: All right, Britt, I'm going to add that to the
Speaker 1: blog today, so people can just go and find that
Speaker 1: on the blog and then they can get to their
Speaker 1: county organization that way. That just seems like a much
Speaker 1: easier idea.
Speaker 2: Bretta.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the time today, and I'm sure that there
Speaker 1: are people out there looking forward to this whole process.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if you and I have
Speaker 1: ever talked about it. I hate this process I don't
Speaker 1: like the caucus process. I don't like the assembly process.
Speaker 1: I think it's an outdated sort of dinosaur that is
Speaker 1: great for incredibly passionate members of the party, but for
Speaker 1: most people it's just too time consuming. But it's gonna happen,
Speaker 1: so you may as well get involved.
Speaker 2: That's the way to get involved. Down. If you want
Speaker 2: to change it, you need to come on board and
Speaker 2: get help us change it. That's what you want, all right, Bretta.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the time very very much, and we'll talk
Speaker 1: to you soon. You know, I just I do. I
Speaker 1: think it's archaic. I've been by the way, I have
Speaker 1: been to my precinct meeting.
Speaker 2: I have done that.
Speaker 1: I have gone and I you know, I tried
