Why Brita's Running
I’m Brita Horn, and I’m running to be your next GOP State Chair because our party needs a rescue plan, and it needs it now.
The Colorado GOP is in trouble. Our state party is out of funds and lacks a clear strategy to win elections. But I’m not one to run from challenges. As a long-time political activist AND a fire chief, I’ve faced countless emergencies head-on, saving lives, protecting our community, all while defending our rights from an overreaching Democrat-controlled government. Now, I’m ready to bring that same determination and leadership to the Colorado GOP.

It is up to each and every one of us to get the Republican candidates across the finish line.
Brita's Values
My determination to serve others runs deep in my soul. It’s how I was raised. Be grateful for what you have and give back more. While living in Washington D.C., I served those less fortunate at soup kitchens each night after work. It was there that my passion to serve others was ignited. After Gary and I were married and began raising two daughters, we firmly believed that you finish what you start. Whether it’s joining the volleyball team, raising a steer or sewing a dress for a 4-H project; you finish what you start. As a mother, I practice what I preach.
