Washington Post: Heidi Ganahl is an Election Denier

Today, the Washington Post included GOP Gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl on their tracker of Republican candidates who have outright questioned and denied the results of the 2020 election. 

Ganahl has not only appointed an election denier as her running mate, she herself has called into question the legitimacy of the election, saying at a campaign event that there was “shady stuff” after the 2020 election.

Prominent believers in the Big Lie have accused Ganahl of lying about her real views on the election. Major election conspiracist Joe Oltmann mentioned Ganahl in a recent video, saying she “sang a very different song” to him regarding the 2020 election in December of that year.

Ganahl has also repeatedly surrounded herself with election deniers, bringing Boris Epshteyn and Brad Parscale on as advisors to her campaign earlier this year, and defending John Eastman, the legal architect of the Jan. 6 coup attempt. Ganahl even exchanged emails attempting to meet with Eastman last year and insisted he was “fantastic” after he wrote a racist op-ed about Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. 

She also told an election conspiracy group to “keep pushing hard” at an event last November.

"Heidi Ganahl has shown distrust in Colorado’s election since the first day of her campaign. Now even the national media has made it clear: Ganahl is an election denier. She can’t be trusted to run our state.” –Colorado Democratic Party spokesperson Kailee Stiles
