Marx Leads Kirkmeyer Narrowly as Colorado GOP Governor Primary Remains Too Close to Call

Victor Marx holds a slim 39.9% to 39.5% lead over Barbara Kirkmeyer in Colorado’s Republican gubernatorial primary as of 5 p.m. Wednesday, with the result too close to call and possibly decided after several more days of counting. Marx has momentum through his national following and narrative, while Kirkmeyer faced fundraising hurdles despite establishment endorsements; the winner will face Democrat Phil Weiser in November.
