Embattled Colorado Republican chair to resign over infighting and vitriol

Colorado Republican Party Chair Brita Horn will resign as party chair in April, months before a critical midterm election for Republicans in the wake of ongoing intraparty strife, low fundraising, and grassroots members of the party calling for her resignation.

In a letter on March 12 Horn cited division, legal attacks and escalation among party members as reasons her tenure was no longer tenable. She was halfway through her two year term.

Horn said she will remain as chair through the GOP state assembly in Pueblo on April 11, which Horn says she will still oversee.

“We cannot allow this party to be weaponized against our efforts to elect more Republicans,” Horn wrote. “With great sorrow, I will be resigning from my role as Chairman of the Republican Party, effective April 17, 2026, following the Republican State Assembly.”
