SENATOR BARB KIRKMEYER ANNOUNCES REELECTION CAMPAIGN

(BRIGHTON, CO) – Republican State Senator Barb Kirkmeyer today announced that she will seek reelection in 2024 to her Weld and Larimer-based district and forego a second run for Colorado’s 8 th Congressional District.

“I’m excited to announce that I will seek reelection to the State Senate in 2024. My passion has always been for Colorado. In 2024, I believe the best way for me to serve our great state is to run for reelection to the State Senate.

Many people ask me, ‘why would you want to stay in a legislature dominated by liberal Democrats?’ My answer? Politics should be about improving people’s lives, ensuring opportunities for all Coloradans, and I love a good fight.

These past three years, I’ve enjoyed exposing the folly of far-left policies; promoting common-sense, center-right alternative policies so kids can obtain a quality education to set them up for success; working to ensure that everyone gets to participate in the vision of “our Colorado;" and fostering policies that reduce crime and promote safety.

Together, my out-numbered Republican colleagues and I are making a difference for Colorado’s working families and for the conservative cause in the face of tremendous challenge. I want to continue that fight and ultimately make sure all of us can pursue our dreams.

I appreciate the many supporters who have encouraged me to run again for Colorado’s 8th Congressional District. Being the 2022 Republican nominee for CD 8 was the honor of a lifetime. My decision to instead run for reelection comes after careful consideration and deliberation.

Last year during the legislative session, I passed 49 bills. I’ll continue to work day-in and day-out to get the job done and show you Colorado’s best days lie ahead!"
