Stapleton said he plans on spending the majority of Sunday, his birthday, in pajamas, before getting back to work on Monday. “Based on the week that I’ve had, I would have happily and gladly been happy with 30.1 percent. “I am ecstatic, obviously,” Stapleton said after the win. He said he’s not worried about the petitions resurfacing in the campaign as an issue. He said he made his decision to keep his integrity and character intact. He had just a few days to prepare for the assembly and he delivered. Stapleton announced earlier this week he was abandoning his petition in the wake of a possible misconduct from the firm hired to collect his signatures. Stapleton’s win marks something of a comeback. “She takes their stories with her and thanks them for their kind support.” “AG Coffman thanks the many Coloradans who she met these many months,” her campaign spokesperson Roger Hudson said in a statement. Lopez received 32 percent of votes, while Colorado Springs businessman Barry Farah, who ran intending to take votes from Coffman, earned 12 percent of votes. She did so in miserable fashion, earning just 6 percent of delegates. She had banked on a place on the ballot through the assembly process but failed to qualify. Lopez’s victory was costly for Attorney General Cynthia Coffman. The biggest came in the form of former Parker Mayor Greg Lopez, who swayed enough delegates to pass the 30 percent threshold to join Stapleton on the ballot to suddenly become a contender. This weekend’s stop in the long, weird and winding road toward the Republican Primary lived up to the reputation party insiders had long repeated: Anything can happen at state assembly.Īnd so it did, with State Treasurer Walker Stapleton - who wasn’t expected to even participate in Saturday’s assembly until days before - winning 43 percent of delegates to earn a spot on the June primary ballot.īut he wasn’t the day’s biggest surprise, or its second biggest.
