O’Dea, a first-time candidate who owns a Denver-based construction company, spent about $250,000 to air the ad across the state for three weeks, starting Sunday, in order to introduce himself to voters, according to a Fox News report.
He has positioned himself as the more moderate of the two Republicans on the ballot in the June 28 primary. While his opponent, state Rep. Ron Hanks, has made false claims of election fraud a central part of his campaign, O’Dea has made clear from the outset that he believes President Joe Biden won the 2020 election and that he plans to focus his campaign on the records of Biden and incumbent Bennet. That would put O’Dea at odds with those on the extreme right who have sometimes expressed sympathy or even admiration for Putin.
But if O’Dea wins the Republican nomination, Democrats will be looking for any way to tie him to the extreme elements of the GOP to undermine Republicans’ assertion that the state, which has been trending to the left in recent elections, is ready to elect a Republican in a statewide race.
Veronica Yoo, spokesperson for Senate Majority PAC, a super PAC aligned with Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, said the ad shows O’Dea was “incompetent.” She said voters deserve better.
“Claiming to support our troops over footage of Russian fighter jets is a slap in the face to Colorado veterans, service members, and military families — not to mention the height of political negligence,” Yoo said.
