DENVER — The man elected as the new chairman of the Colorado Republican Party is asking a court to declare him the party’s legitimate leader.It's been nearly a week since members of the Republican State Central Committee elected Eli Bremer as the party's new chair after voting to remove Dave Williams as chairman of the party. They also voted to remove two of Williams’ allies, Hope Scheppelman and Anna Ferguson from their leadership positions as vice-chair and secretary, respectively.
“We've got a lot of work to do, but our team is up for the task.”Though Republican leaders across the state, including six of the party's congressional nominees, recognize Bremer as chairman, Williams refuses to step aside, calling the election a fraud.Now, Bremer and members of the central committee are asking an El Paso County court to declare the special meeting held on Aug. 24 was legitimate and that Williams and his allies were legitimately removed.
