The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby ran down the scoop on the strange story we’ve been talking about for over a week now, mailers delivered in two competitive Colorado congressional races paid for by the Arizona Republican Party–a situation sufficiently unusual that we at first speculated it may have been some kind of printing error.
As it turns out, the Arizona GOP is making no mistake, and is indeed paying for mail pieces in support of Colorado candidates to fill in the gap created by the more-or-less moribund Colorado Republican Party under the chairmanship of Dave “No More Brandon” Williams–which continues after staving off a palace coup attempt to do essentially nothing to help Republican candidates win in the rapidly-approaching elections:
Why the Arizona GOP is spending money on Colorado races is unknown, but presumably it’s to help maintain a Republican majority in the U.S. House.
In a short text message to The Daily Sentinel from an unnamed person in the Arizona party, it said it “is happy to help our Republican neighbors in Colorado anyway it can.”
