Colorado Republicans Seek New Leader from Bizarre Field of Candidates
Who’s Running To Lead the Colorado Republican Party?
Darcy Schoening
Schoening is the state GOP’s director of special initiatives who was a co-chair of the El Paso County Moms for Liberty chapter, an anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-government extremist group.
Moms for Liberty has extensive ties to other groups like the Proud Boys and Gays Against Groomers and has been criticized for launching harassment campaigns against teachers, school board members, and staff.
Schoening has taken the mindset of Moms for Liberty with her work for the Colorado GOP. Schoening spearheaded a campaign to defund a school district in Durango over allowing the pride flag in classrooms, during which she referred to members of the school board as ‘pedophiles’ and spread misinformation that trans people were more likely to be school shooters.
Schoening threatened to “professionally and personally” bankrupt the district.
In an interview with the Colorado Times Recorder at the time, Schoening expressed disgust with transgender people: “There is no such thing as a transgender. Every single transgender person is suffering from drastic mental illness. Transgenderism is a fetish. …”
In the same interview, Schoening went on to add that these people should “be ostracized and jailed”.
When there was controversy over the Colorado GOP bringing Trump advisor Steve Bannon to their annual fundraiser after he end his speech at CPAC with a Nazi salute, Schoening dismissed those criticizing of Bannon as “destructive groomers and political terrorists”.
Schoening continues to cast doubt on the 2020 election and has rallied for the release of Tina Peters, who was convicted of a slew of felony charges for trying to undermine the election in Mesa County.

Colorado GOP Director of Special Initiatives Darcy Schoening, who is running for state party chair, said she's been in touch with the U.S. Attorney General's Office about prosecuting the judge in Mesa County who sentenced Peters.
Schoening told 9NEWS that the judge should reflect on what he did when he's locked up in the state penitentiary in Cañon City.

Darcy Schoening, a state Republican Party official who’s running to be the next leader of the Colorado Republican Party, attended the protest, as did Republican Trent Leisy, a failed 2024 congressional candidate in Colorado.
“It was an honor to attend yesterday’s event for Tina Peters,” said Schoening in a Facebook post. “She called from the jail, and it was great to hear from her. I’ve called our new AG to investigate the corrupt judge that handed down such an excessive sentence to Tina, and for [Colorado Gov. Jared] Polis to have his federal funding cut to his pet programs unless he issues a pardon to this 70-year-old woman.”

News Saine Joins Race To Lead Colorado’s Republican Party
Reached for comment, Schoening offered the following statement:
“I welcome Lori Saine to the race and appreciate her contributions to the conservative movement in Colorado, said Schoening. “She played an important role in the legislature, and her vote was consistently conservative. I have great respect for her and other former lawmakers who have served our state.
“When I announced my candidacy in early January, I did so for one reason: to get the GOP back to its winning ways in Colorado. Simply having a voice is not enough—we need doers, not just talkers. Unfortunately, Ms. Saine has not been actively engaged in advancing the Republican Party and has never demonstrated the level of diligence, fundraising ability, or grassroots engagement that this critical moment requires.
“I am the only candidate for GOP Chair who can unequivocally say I stood up for our kids during the COVID madness, fought back against the radical Left, and pushed back against Joe Biden’s attacks on girls and women through his extreme gender ideology agenda. I’ve also worked behind the scenes to support all of our GOP candidates, ensuring they received the respect and resources they deserved in the general election.
“Lori Saine is a valued member of our party, and I appreciate her contributions. But she is not a leader and not a doer. The Colorado GOP cannot afford to elect someone who has been absent from the fight.”

Colo GOP Won’t Disinvite Bannon Over Nazi Salute, Says He’s a ‘Hero of the Right’
Spokeswoman Darcy Schoening rejected the characterization of Bannon’s gesture as a Nazi salute and stated unequivocally that he will remain the GOP’s keynote speaker.
“This is a ridiculous question,” said Schoening. “The same people assigning racism to the incidental wave of an arm are destructive groomers and political terrorists. Steve Bannon is the bane of the left and a hero of the right … and from there he’s cemented himself as a political leader and influencer. The left’s ongoing attempt to paint conservatives, who are so clearly winning, as racists and Nazis, is getting boring, and the left should find a new grift.

I have enjoyed speaking with Steve Bannon on War Room in the past, and he has helped me immensely in my fight to save our kids from genital mutilation and sterilization, as well as anti-white racism. I look forward to seeing him again in March, and to the work we will do together to save our children in the new Golden Era-the Trump era.”
“As someone who is constantly portrayed as an extremist by the media, I want to tell Mr. Bannon that he should be delighted by these ridiculous assertions. When the left is calling you a racist and hurling lies at you, they have lost. As evidenced by their embarrassing loss in the last cycle, the general public is exhausted with the Democrats’ race-baiting and

Colorado GOP Calls on Schools to Break State Law
"The Colorado GOP, represented by Director of Special Initiatives Darcy Schoening, sent an email calling on the state’s school boards to resist enacting recent updates to Title IX that protect transgender students from discrimination on the basis of gender identity.
“The Colorado GOP urges Colorado School Boards NOT (emphasis hers) to enact Joe Biden’s progressive Title IX rewrite and urges parents to enjoin into a federal injunction TODAY to prevent the spread of boys in girls’ sports in Colorado,” wrote Schoening.
“This mandate that harms girls in the name of ‘saving trans kids’ is coming to its end, and we do NOT need to comply because there is no such thing as a ‘trans kid’. There are kids, and there are the adults who use them for sexual and political gratification.”

Colorado GOP Assembly: Anti-Trans, Anti-Immigrant, Anti-Media
“Listen, we know that this is a winning issue,” said Darcy Schoening, echoing the 2022 sentiments of failed Senate candidate Eli Bremer. “We have Republicans and Democrats coming to us from across the state of Colorado saying it has gone too far. Gender ideology has gone too far. When we have become a sanctuary state for removing young girls’ arms to build fake genitalia so that they can identify as males, it’s gone too far. So that is why we created our ballot initiative, ‘Let Kids be Kids.’ Prohibit gender transitioning, whether by medication or by surgery, of minors.”
Schoening’s claims about “removing young girls’ arms” is false, and part of the trend among anti-trans activists, like Rich Guggenheim of Gays Against Groomers, of using sensational post-op photos to score political points. Phalloplasty, the gender-affirming surgery for transgender men, does involve the use of skin grafts, usually taken from the forearm, but that does not result in the “removal” of the limb. Phalloplasty is also not generally offered to patients under 18. A 2018 study of 7,905 transgender patients, 1,047 of whom underwent surgical procedures from 2009 to 2015, noted the average patient age was 29.8 years. A 2019 study of 940 phalloplasty patients noted the average patient age was 32.9 years.
The Colorado GOP also adopted a resolution opposing gender-affirming care for minors. “Resolution number four: parental rights and stopping transgender assaults against children,” announced Williams. “All in favor of parental rights and making sure children aren’t violated by puberty blockers or surgical mutilation. Please rise. Yes. All those opposed and wanting to indoctrinate our children with crazy gender woke ideology, please- I’m not seeing any takers. Resolution number four is adopted.”
Colorado Republicans push for multiple ballot initiatives targeting transgender people
"Asking a child to wait to undergo a drastic and life-alerting gender transition is not anti-LGBTQ+ it's pro-child it's pro common sense," Schoening argued.

It's Official: Colorado Republicans Short-Circuit Super Tuesday
The resolution put forward by Monument-based GOP activist Darcy Shoening not only endorses Trump for re-election, but also calls for the other Republican candidates to get out of the race entirely. Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams played coy when asked about this proposal in early December, but now that the vote has succeeded any pretense of impartiality from the state party has been discarded:
Colorado Republican Party endorses Donald Trump ahead of state's 2024 presidential primary
The party approved the endorsement in an online meeting of its roughly 400-member governing committee, held on the eve of the GOP's first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses, where polling shows Trump holds a commanding lead.
The endorsement resolution passed with 65% of the committee voting in favor, 34% voting against, and the remainder abstaining.

The protest, organized by Colorado Republican Party fundraising chair Darcy Schoening, drew about two dozen people to the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center in Denver Wednesday afternoon. She and Colorado state Sen. Mark Baisley, a Sedalia Republican, addressed the group.
Schoening said the Colorado Republican Party will drop out of the primary and switch to a delegate system so Trump can be the Republican presidential candidate in the state if the U.S. Supreme Court doesn’t overturn the ruling in time. She said the party has the legal ability to drop out of the primary and that GOP Chair Dave Williams is moving in that direction, with a meeting of the state central committee coming soon to decide the matter.

Colorado Republicans want state GOP to endorse Donald Trump, urge rivals to exit primary
A proposal circulated online this week by former Monument Councilwoman Darcy Schoening urges members of the Colorado Republican Party's central committee to adopt a resolution endorsing Trump and calling on the other GOP candidates to drop out ahead of the state's Super Tuesday primary on March 5.
"The primary is fast approaching, and President Trump will be the nominee," Schoening wrote in a letter to central committee members. "I am calling on you to fully support him and call on the other candidates to resign now. No further time, resources, or energy shall be wasted on candidates trailing by double digits."
Schoening's proposal is a virtual mirror image of an effort making its way through Colorado courts to bar Trump from the ballot under a constitutional provision that prohibits insurrectionists from holding federal office.
NEWS Progressive Groups Protest Durango GOP Meeting Featuring Anti-Govt Extremist Group Leader
According to photos of the meeting posted by the La Plata GOP, attendees inside appeared to approximately equal the number of protestors. Schoening welcomed the protestors, writing in the El Paso County M4L group that ” Can’t wait to roll into Durango tomorrow and trigger a bunch of liberals…hopefully their ‘anti-fascist action’ and ‘anti-transphobe action’ lives up to their hype, and there are actual tears. I’m also hoping for a little LARPing action…ideally with swords and shields. And ideally a little face paint.”
After the event she commented on the “pretty massive demonstration” and claimed she needed private security.
“Last night was one of my favorite nights ever! I was welcomed back to La Plata County by the amazing friends and patriots of Durango,” said Schoening. “There was a pretty massive demonstration to make me feel unwelcome, but the ever-prevailing people of La Plata turned out in full force. There was not an empty seat to be filled! Thank you to Shelli Bush Shaw & Will Shaw for your hospitality, thank you to Kelly (Hegarty) for your hard work, Lisa Zimmerman, and so many more, for having me and making me feel so welcome.
This was the first time I needed private security to follow me around and to be driven to a secret entrance and exit. As I told the left, I feel honored.”

“If I gave those books to my neighbor's children, my neighbor's first response would probably be to pick up the phone and call the police,” said Darcy Schoening, a representative for Moms for Liberty, one of the conservative groups that signed the letter.
Colorado’s definition of obscenity is “offensive representations or descriptions of sex acts” and the whole work “lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.” According to Colorado law, the “wholesale promotion of obscenity to a minor” is a Class 6 Felony, which is why these conservative groups are asking for the DA’s Office to launch a criminal investigation.

“By acting unilaterally to engage an attorney on matters involving his conduct as public official and by participating in the executive session where payment for services rendered by that attorney were discussed, and to conduct his own personal retaliation towards the investigative attorney hired by an affirming vote, Mayor LaKind conducted official acts using town resources for his own personal benefit,” the complaint reads.

‘It’s an honor to be labeled something undesirable by such a laughable organization’ —Q&A with Darcy Schoening, chair, El Paso County Moms for Liberty
It’s an honor to be labeled something undesirable by such a laughable organization. If SLPC, a progressive political hack group, labeled Moms for Liberty as a civil rights organization, we’d have come concerns. SPLC is a pro-BIG government arm of the Democrat Party that runs cover for destructive government policies. SPLC harms kids in its race to grow the state. SPLC has energized our movement in meaningful ways. Parents are waking up to the politicization of education and exactly how hard the left is trying to silence parents by labeling them extremists or hate groups.
CSN: Would you call this a fair and unbiased assessment of your organization?
I would not call this designation fair, but I would say it’s expected. Fairness is forgotten in left-wing politics, but the Left’s increasing push towards communism is predictable.
In recent years, we have seen Merrick Garland weaponize the Department of Education by labeling parents as domestic terrorists, and Biden himself call parents who stand up for their kids “extremists.” The left is taking their plays from Mao Tse-Tung himself. If the state can turn kids against parents, we will have no Constitutional Republic. We will have communism. SPLC knows this, and they know we are fighting back, so they assigned a meaningless label to scare us and those who support us.
Considering SPLC is notorious for racist operations and sexual harassment, I’m not sure how much longer the group will last, especially given this latest debacle. We should probably assume SPLC aims to generate violent threats and attacks on innocent parents, much like their actions in the 2012 Family Research Council scandal.
No threat will scare us parents. SPLC should be labeled a hate group and an extremist group. That’s all it is at this point.
Moms for Liberty named anti-government extremist group by civil rights watchdog
The El Paso County arm of Moms for Liberty is led by Darcy Schoening, a former Monument City Council member. Local Moms for Liberty members have been instrumental in getting conservative candidates elected to several school boards across the county in 2021, flipping those boards to conservative majorities. Known for expressing anti-LGBTQ views, the group has been active in book banning efforts in Academy School District 20 and an ill-fated attempt to get Colorado Springs School District 11’s board to ban teachers from asking kids about their pronouns.
Moms for Liberty leader says Biden & teachers are turning kids queer

“We all know what’s going on. I don’t even know why we keep stuff private,” she said about the clandestine monitoring. She even said she welcomed some of the intended attacks on her group, showing screenshots of opponents messaging about what to tweet in protest.
“What they don’t realize is that they’re doing half the work for us,” Schoening said. “Because the more and more they post… You get those parents that are sitting out there saying, ‘Oh, this doesn’t sound so crazy. I want to go be a part of this.’”

In El Paso County, Moms for Liberty, which is led by former Monument Town Councilor Darcy Schoening, is building alliances with political figures. Rep. Scott Bottoms (R-CO Springs), Rep.

Woodland Park School District made national news recently due to controversial decisions by its board to hire Superintendent Ken Witt, who was recalled as a Jefferson County School Board president, and the decision to adopt the conservative “American Birthright” social studies curriculum, among other issues. In March, Salt was hired as Woodland Park School District’s executive director of human resources.

A mother of two and a community volunteer, Schoening is a member of the Home and School Association at St. Peter Catholic School, as well as organizations including the Sunrise Republican Women, El Paso County Republican Women and Pikes Peak Firearms, according to a resume she submitted to the board. She previously owned Dex’s Depot in Palmer Lake, which closed in 2020, and has worked in various roles with Advent Health Partners, ambulance manufacturer Tri-Star and Hilton Hotels in Tennessee and Indiana.
“I’m excited to be on the board and get the opportunity to make the town better,” Schoening said by phone Friday. “Not that it’s not already great.”
In a cover letter addressed to the board detailing her interest in the position, Schoening called herself a “champion of limited government,” but said it was important to “listen to the voice of the people.”
To that end, Schoening said she wants to host weekly coffee chats where residents can share their thoughts and concerns on town issues.
