Colorado Republican Party Vice Chair Richard Holtorf has announced his resignation from the party position, effective at the end of this month. In a statement released on Tuesday, Holtorf cited his inability to work with state chair Brita Horn as the reason for his decision.
Holtorf, a third-generation cattle rancher, has been a dedicated member of the Colorado Republican Party for many years. He has served as the vice chair since 2018 and has been a strong advocate for conservative values and principles. However, his recent disagreement with Horn has led him to step down from his position.
In his statement, Holtorf expressed his disappointment in not being able to work with Horn. He stated, “It is with a heavy heart that I announce my resignation as the vice chair of the Colorado Republican Party. I have always been committed to the party and its values, but unfortunately, I have reached an impasse with our state chair, Brita Horn.”
Holtorf’s decision to resign comes after months of tension between him and Horn. The two have had differing opinions on the direction of the party and have been unable to find common ground. Despite their efforts to work together, their relationship has become strained, and Holtorf believes it is best for him to step down.
Holtorf’s resignation has been met with mixed reactions from party members. Some have expressed their disappointment in losing such a dedicated and passionate leader, while others have voiced their support for Horn and her leadership. However, one thing is clear – Holtorf’s decision was not an easy one, and it was made with the best interests of the party in mind.
In his statement, Holtorf also thanked the party members for their support and urged them to continue working towards the party’s goals. He said, “I want to thank all the members of the Colorado Republican Party for their unwavering support throughout my time as vice chair. It has been an honor to serve alongside you and fight for our conservative values. I urge you all to continue the important work of the party and to remain united in our mission.”
Holtorf’s resignation has sparked discussions about the future of the Colorado Republican Party and who will fill his position. However, the party remains focused on its goals and is determined to move forward despite this change in leadership.
As we bid farewell to Richard Holtorf as the vice chair of the Colorado Republican Party, we must also recognize his contributions and dedication to the party. He has been a strong voice for conservative values and has worked tirelessly to advance the party’s agenda. His presence will be missed, but his legacy will continue to inspire and guide us.
In conclusion, while it is unfortunate that Richard Holtorf and Brita Horn were unable to work together, we must respect Holtorf’s decision to step down from his position. The Colorado Republican Party remains committed to its values and will continue to work towards a better future for our state. We thank Richard Holtorf for his service and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
