Victor Marx Blitz Kicks Off This Weekend

• by: Colorado Pols

While Republican gubernatorial candidate Barb Kirkmeyer is bogged down in the sausagemaking at the Colorado General Assembly, upstart Republican “high-risk missionary” Victor Marx continues to seize the momentum in the GOP primary with a series of public events along the Front Range that kick off this Friday the 13th in Golden:

Marx has skipped several gubernatorial candidate forums in the last few weeks while focusing on fundraising and cultivating his peculiar mystique on his own terms. We expect Marx’s campaign rallies will be similarly well-scripted affairs, and opposition to his insurgent bid to snatch the nomination for governor from career politician Barb Kirkmeyer will be quickly shown the door. With Kirkmeyer and at least to some lunatic extent Rep. Scott “There Is No” Bottoms busy with their legislative duties until May, Marx has the jumpstart to rally support–and crucially, to raise money–months ahead of his competitors.

If it all comes together, Marx takes primary voters off the table before Kirkmeyer and company even get to ask.
