The Colorado Sun reports:
Conservative commentator and activist Jeff Crank, aided by $2.7 million in super PAC spending, overwhelmingly defeated Colorado GOP Chairman Dave Williams in the 5th District Congressional District Republican primary Tuesday.
The El Paso County district is considered a Republican stronghold, so Crank is likely to win in November, too, replacing longtime Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn, who is retiring at the end of his term.
Trump and the political arm of the House Freedom Caucus endorsed Williams, a former state representative, while House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, endorsed Crank, a regional executive for the conservative political nonprofit Americans For Prosperity.

Biggest night of @cologop chair Dave Williams’ career. He’s turned the state party into his personal political machine to boost his own campaign for Congress and attack his enemies in the GOP. @Marshall9News found where he’s spending Primary Night. #copolitics https://t.co/kboN3M3sfM
