The Greeley Tribune has the article:

Ken Buck brings on state GOP leader as campaign manager

Kay Rendleman, former chairwoman of the El Paso County Republican Party, has been appointed campaign manager for U.S. Senate candidate Ken Buck’s campaign.

After serving as a staffer on Ronald Reagan’s first presidential campaign, Rendleman has been a leader in state and federal campaigns for the past 30 years…

“I will do all I can to help Ken take back the seat now held by the appointed Sen. Michael Bennet,” she said.

Walt Klein had performed many of these functions since he has been hired as a consultant.

There is some more information on Rendleman from the Colorado Springs Independent:

Rendleman started her political career as one of four paid staff members for the Reagan for President primary campaign in California in 1980. She also worked as a field staff member for Reagan’s general election campaign overseeing 11 California counties.

She worked as the statewide volunteer coordinator for a U.S. Senate campaign and helped with Bob Dole’s presidential bid. Her background also includes work on two proposition campaigns as a paid staffer and on several state assembly races in California. She coordinated Ken Lambert’s state legislative campaign here.

Rendleman moved to Colorado in 2002 and served as the volunteer coordinator for the 2002 cycle. “I got right to work,” she says.

She said a friend asked if she would be interested in working on Buck’s campaign. After she expressed interest, Buck called her. “I’ve seen him many times coming through here and have been very impressed with Ken.”
