Marc Holtzman has finally done something to help out the Republican Party in this election:
During a news conference Tuesday at Holtzman's campaign headquarters, his running mate, Lola Spradley, brought up the issue of Dennis' endorsement of Beauprez. Spradley said going to court would remove Dennis from an awkward situation where her objectivity might be questioned."We want to take her off the horns of that dilemma," she said.
Dennis also has been mentioned as a possible running mate for Beauprez.
It's also noteworthy that neither Grueskin, nor Holtzman, nor Spradley, nor Gould said anything to impugn Dennis's integrity, as they had implied in the past. The suit will be filed not because they don't trust Dennis, but for jurisdictional reasons.
By giving Dennis this wiggle room (oh, cut it out), they cut the legs out from underneath the Clear Peak investigation, and also make it thinkable again for her to be on a potential Beauprez ticket in the fall.
Sound move, Marc.
