Stephen Collier, the Republican chair of the House District 43 Central Committee, has resigned from his position and disaffiliated from the Republican Party, citing President Donald Trump’s involvement in the primary against U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and the ongoing controversy over the release of the Epstein files.
All four candidates for Douglas County sheriff are Republicans facing off in a primary next June, and while their experience in law enforcement and ties to the community are similar, the difference — to the advantage or detriment — could come from FEC United, a conservative advocacy group with its militia arm, United American Defense Force (UADF), and founder and leader of the group, Joe Oltmann.
