Marax? No—Marines on the ballot: Marx taps Col. Markert for Colorado ticket
Colorado GOP gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx announces an all‑Marine ticket by selecting retired Col. George Markert as his running mate, arguing Marine discipline can blunt a rising socialist movement led by the DSA; Marx frames socialism as a step toward communism, contrasts his ticket with the DSA-backed Melat Kiros and AG Phil Weiser, and pitches an outsider, tough-on-crime approach focused on accountability.
