Description | The Texas attorney who unsuccessfully tried to run for Colorado attorney general as a Republican last month filed paperwork Friday to run for the office as an independent candidate.
Stanley Thorne, the former conservative former talk radio host who represented Coloradans in a lawsuit claiming Gov. Jared Polis lacked authority to impose shutdown orders during the pandemic, initially won a spot in April on the June Republican primary ballot for attorney general but was removed after party officials determined he hadn't met legal qualifications to run for the job.
The move left John Kellner, the 18th Judicial District attorney, who also made the ballot at the State GOP assembly, as the presumptive GOP nominee for the state's top legal position. |
