"Tea Party" Tim Leonard Wins HD-25 Seat

  • 13 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

That’s the word from Jefferson County’s Taj Majal this afternoon, where the political machine of U.S. Senate candidate and GOP grassroots leader Tim Neville has succeeding in winning the Colorado House seat of retiring Rep. Jon Keyser–Keyser, of course, resigning to take on Neville in the 2016 GOP U.S. Senate primary.

The appointment of Tim Leonard to succeed Jon Keyser, overwhelmingly and in the first round of balloting, is a huge win for the Jefferson County Neville political coalition. Leonard, a co-founder of the whackjob-friendly American Constitution Party willingly hijacked by Tom Tancredo in 2010, was far enough to the right to lose in SD-16 to Democrat Jeanne Nicholson in the Tea Party year that year but the party’s recent shift rightward under Neville’s influence has, if you will, brought Republicans to him.

In addition to Rep. Leonard making the Colorado General Assembly a very colorful place in the coming months, something Democrats will be happy to record for posterity, this win shows how the Neville machine is in full control of the party in the state’s most important suburban battleground.

And that is a story much bigger than Colorado House District 25.

      1. Yep…Bizarro world…you've heard of it, no doubt..I don't think the Enterprise ever visited there, though…If it did, I missed that episode…smiley….

  1. Well, I helped take him out when he ran for Senate.  I just guess I'll have to do it again.  Janet Doyle.  Please run again. And talking about bizarre, well, that describes Timmy Lennard.  Evergreen, well, I've been telling you for a long time that this is what you would get with Republicans.  Well, now you've got to believe me.  LMAO.

    1. I recorded a robo call to all Republicans in the District from former GOP Chair Chris O'Dell which completely blasted him and his nuttiness.  It was effective.
