Parental Rights Advocate, Seasoned GOP Leader Darcy Schoening
Announces Campaign for Colorado Republican Party Chair

MONUMENT, Colo. – The following is a statement from Darcy Schoening, Director of Special Initiatives for the Colorado Republican Party:

“For far too long, Colorado Republicans have suffered loss after loss – whether through the ballot box, or the loss of our values and freedoms. I joined the Colorado GOP more than a year ago as the Director of Special Initiatives, a role created to help protect Colorado families from the ongoing destruction caused by the increasingly leftist lurch of the Colorado legislature and their leader, Governor Polis. In that time, this position has been built from the ground up through hard work and dedication with one, central goal in mind: fight for Colorado by way of local policy, outreach, and initiatives important to Republicans and Colorado families.

In the time I’ve served in this role, together with the push for expanded local autonomy and parental advocacy that I have spearheaded, I’ve played an important role in advancing conservative values throughout our great state. And in these travels, the need to find those willing to roll up their sleeves, bring people together, and fight for Colorado has never been more apparent. I proudly stand in that gap; in fact, I live there - and I love it.  

I am therefore announcing my candidacy for Chair of the Colorado Republican Party. Colorado Republicans can rest assured the principles and values they hold so dearly will always have a committed fighter to back them up, day in and day out. And Colorado Democrats are now on notice - as Chair, I promise you will continually be challenged with your desires to tear down traditional families, harm our children and further erode our freedoms.   

This decision was easy for me; advancing conservative values is never work; it is a passion. Over the coming weeks, I’m excited to take my case to our county Republican Parties as well as State Central Committee members, laying out my vision for solidifying our gains, expanding conservative ideals, and further detailing how we will build bridges that bring Republicans together to renew our shared purpose of advancing our beliefs.
