DENVER—Republican women in the Colorado House of Representatives denounced comments by Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Shultz, who said the Republican Party is “anti-woman” and is waging “a war on women.”
“Congresswoman Shultz’s comments are completely offensive. As a Republican woman in the Colorado House of Representatives, I find this accusation extremely insulting and completely unreasonable” said Marsha Looper of Calhan. “The Congresswoman owes the millions of Republican women in the nation an apology for her unfair and narrow-minded insults.”
House Republican Caucus Chair Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, added that Republican women in Colorado have a strong history of leading the state:
“The first women members of the General Assembly were Republicans, and the first woman Speaker of the House was a Republican. Republicans are carrying on that strong tradition of leadership to this day by electing Republican women into leadership roles, including Majority Leader, Majority Whip and various chairmanships.
“Republicans have passed significant legislation that is important to women, including measures that boost education, make schools safer, create jobs and better our state’s health care system.”
Vice Chair of the Joint Budget Committee Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen, added that Republican women are leading the way when it comes to creating jobs:
“While the Congresswoman was busy rubberstamping Obamacare and the trillions of dollars of debt that have cost thousands of Coloradans their jobs, Republican women have been at the forefront of passing a balanced budget and legislation to get our economy back on track.”
