Welcome to the official website of the Colorado Hispanic Republicans (CHR). Colorado Hispanic Republicans is a non-profit, center-right organization dedicated to increasing the Hispanic community's awareness of public policy issues and helping Hispanics align their votes and their affiliation to their cultural values of Faith, Family and Freedom. We plan to accomplish this vision the following way:

• By educating the Hispanic community on the true principles of the Republican Party that are based on faith, family, personal responsibility, small government, lower taxes, entrepreneurialism, and free market principles that most Hispanics embrace in the US.
• By supporting the GOP leadership in Colorado with Hispanic Outreach

CHR is currently structured as an organization that collects associate membership donations and welcomes Hispanics and Non-Hispanics who identify themselves as Conservatives and/or Republicans and wish to carry on the vision of CHR and advance its mission. Please join us by downloading an Member Application form and mailing it with your check, made out to CHR, to our PO Box. Thank You. Please attend our Meet & Greets that take place every second Thursday of the month.
As Chairman, I am committed to reaching out to individuals and organizations, Hispanic and Non-Hispanic, willing to work with CHR in bridging the Hispanic community with the Republican Party with the ultimate goal of preserving the political, social and economic freedom that this country has offered all its citizens since its foundation. The Hispanic community is represented by hard-working families that believe in personal responsibility and free market principles which have allowed them to become the fastest growing segment of this nation’s economy. Strong and traditional family values also characterize this community, which strives to educate itself and its children with the hopes of achieving the American Dream. The shared core values held by Republicans and Hispanics alike are numerous. It will be my priority to promote their affinity and help the two groups engage more effectively.

OUR MISSION


The long term goals of CHR are to educate, inform and recruit Hispanic candidates to run for elected positions within the Republican Party, and for elective national, state, and local office and to advocate for, and promote among Hispanics an understanding and acceptance of core Republican principles, as well as to Represent Hispanic interests within the State and the GOP, in partnership with other groups and organizations which share our interests. Our immediate goals are to provide an opportunity for Hispanic Republicans to meet once a month and get involved in the political process, and to help the CO-GOP leadership with ways to engage the Hispanic community.

COLORADO HISPANIC REPUBLICANS DENOUNCES THE COMMENTS OF DEMOCRAT LAWMAKERS

Colorado Hispanic Republicans finds the comments of Rep. Salazar (D-31)
and State Senator Ulibarri (D-21) as “some of the most insulting and demeaning comments uttered by elected officials.

"An ignorant comment such as using a ballpoint pen as a defense method amounts to nothing more than making a mockery of women. To assume that women would sporadically begin firing at anything and everything without regard to their surroundings is a direct affront to their capabilities.”-stated Martin Mendez-Chairman of Colorado Hispanic Republicans

Pauline Olvera, Board Member of Colorado Hispanic Republicans, “As a woman, I am appalled that the female legislators of the Democratic caucus are going along with their male counterparts and not themselves opposing these insulting comments. It’s just another example that Democrats across the board tow the party line at any cost.”

"Is this the kind of legacy they want to leave for their own daughters? That even though women worked so hard for empowerment they help the men in their own party make us victims all over again. It is extremely absurd to assert that women are not competent enough to handle a firearm responsibly, or to identify a dangerous situation.”

“The so-called apology by Rep. Salazar for offending someone is shallow, insensitive and far different than apologizing for what he actually said. Speaker Ferrandino should demand a true apology instead of a rescue attempt.”-continued Mendez
