Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has hired former state Rep. Justin Everett as its Colorado state director, the Colorado Republican Party announced Friday,
The move comes less than a month before mail ballots are set to go out for Colorado’s March 5 presidential primary, where Trump is set to face three other Republicans in a vote to determine how the state GOP will apportion delegates to the Republican National Convention.
On Sunday, the state Republican central committee formally endorsed Trump in an unprecedented break from the party’s longstanding practice of staying neutral in primaries.
After representing a Jefferson County house district for three terms, from 2013-2019, Everett lost a primary for state treasurer in 2018 and failed to unseat the Republican incumbent in a 2020 bid to win back his old seat.
