GOP-tea party favorite Maes wants it both ways on abortion
LAKEWOOD-- GOP gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes, coming off of victory over six-term Congressman Scott McInnis in the GOP state assembly this weekend, told the Colorado Independent that he was now clear frontrunner in the race for governor. The reason for his success, he said, is that he's the true conservative in the race and that he was chosen by the tea party organically to lead on the right. He also said there was no inconsistency with simultaneously wanting less government intrusion and opposing abortion rights and gay marriage. He said he fully embraced the proposed personhood amendment but mostly as a statement and that he didn't think the amendment would actually outlaw abortion.

WATCH: McInnis, Maes, Buck light up GOP state delegates
At the state assembly in Loveland Saturday, the three top Republican candidates in the state gave short speeches blasting government spending and politics as usual. Gubernatorial candidates Scott McInnis and Dan Maes nearly split the delegate voting, with Evergreen businessman Maes coming out ahead. U.S. Senate candidate Ken Buck demolished the opponents who participated in the assembly and also notched an indirect win against his main opponent, former Lt. Governor Jane Norton, who lost to Buck in the March straw poll caucus voting, where delegates to the assembly were chosen. Norton decided not to participate in the state assembly as a result. She is petitioning directly to voters to appear on the primary ballot in August.

LOVELAND-- Both major Republican candidates for governor will be on the August primary ballot. Dan Maes edged out Scott McInnis 1741-1725, taking 49.35 percent of the vote. “Wow,” Maes said after hearing the vote announced. “This is about you. This is about the people standing up and making their voices heard, telling us what is important, telling us what you want from government and not the other way around. We are just getting warmed up,” he told the few hundred people who stayed to the end of the assembly at the Budweiser Event Center here.

Maes: Campaign finance irregularities reflect payment for early expenses
Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes Monday said all of his campaign expenses are absolutely legitimate. Referring to a complaint filed against his campaign by a Republican activist from Grand Junction, he said, “It is frivolous and it needs to go away.” Maes said the reason his campaign has paid him $33,135 in mileage reimbursement since October is because when he began campaigning in March, 2009, he paid for most of his mileage out of pocket because the campaign had very little money.
