State Senator Ted Harvey’s bid for chairman gains momentum

HIGHLANDS RANCH — “I’m honored to have Secretary of State Scott Gessler, State School Board Chairman Bob Schaffer and District Attorney Ken Buck support my campaign for state chairman.  I appreciate their votes and am grateful for their leadership and commitment to our party,” said Harvey.

University of Colorado Regents Steve Bosley and Jim Geddes, as well as, State Representatives J. Paul Brown, Jim Kerr, Larry Liston and Tom Massey have also added their support to Harvey’s bid to lead Colorado’s Republican Party now that Wadhams is out of the race.

“The out pouring of support for my campaign from around the state has been overwhelming,” said Harvey.  “I am committed to redoubling my efforts to earn the votes of the members of the Central Committee who are the backbone of our party.  My passion is to boldly move forward and return the Republican Party to dominance in 2012.”

“I am eager to work hard to unite our Republican leaders and financial supporters with our traditional party activists and the new TEA Party grassroots under a principled, dynamic and successful GOP banner so we can take the battle of ideas directly to the Democrats,” concluded Harvey.
