Justin Everett is going to work on the upcoming convention for the Republican National Committee, leaving the state director post empty.

Buckle up.

First things first. I have to credit Colorado State House Republican Justin Everett for being willing to defend his views on twitter. I’ve been blocked by dozens of Republican lawmakers for simply arguing against their positions, even when I’ve done so in a polite and respectful way.
