Socialists rising in Colorado? Send in the Marines, GOP nominee says

Republican Colorado gubernatorial nominee Victor Marx is campaigning with a newly formed all-Marine ticket alongside George Markert to combat what he describes as a rising democratic socialist movement in the country. Marx attributes his candidacy victory partly to Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros's upset win in Colorado’s primary race, arguing that military discipline and 'steely spines' are needed for government. He contrasts his platform of public safety with approaches supported by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which supports police abolition.
