Jeff Crank will be the GOP candidate in Congressional District Five
By Colorado Public Radio
In the closely-watched, high-stakes Republican primary race for the House seat representing Colorado Springs, Republican Jeff Crank defeated controversial GOP state party chair Dave Williams.
The Associated Press called the race for Crank at 8:20 p.m., with Crank up, 68 percent to 32 percent, over Williams in preliminary results.
“This is about the future of the Republican Party in Colorado and, frankly, nationally,” said Kelly Maher, who heads the group Restoring Standards and worked on soft side spending against WIlliams in the race. She sees this primary as the perfect microcosm of the “good faith versus bad faith spectrum.”
