VERA ORTEGON OFFICIALLY NOMINATED for RE-ELECTION as your RNC National Committeewoman

In order for someone to get officially nominated for the Republican National Committeewoman position and placed on the ballot, there are procedures that must occur. Namely, someone must make the motion to nominate, which must then be seconded by another.

I am happy to inform you these steps have been accomplished and I am now officially nominated for your consideration to continue representing you in front of the Republican National Committee (RNC) as your National Committeewoman. As such, I respectfully ask for your vote.

Here was the process for me, and the very thoughtful comments from some of our great leaders in our state.

Motion made by Marla Reichert, Chairman, Pueblo County Republican Party

To the Delegates of the 2020 Colorado Republican Assembly & Convention;

Most of you know Vera Ortegon as our wonderful National Committeewoman through her consistent informative reports after each RNC meeting. I am fortunate to know her in a little different way. Vera lives in Pueblo and she works tirelessly, side by side with our volunteers. She makes phone calls, participates in our events, and is always among the first to ask “how can I help”. She is the kind of leader who rolls up her sleeves and gets to work. She leads by example. 

Vera is a Colombian-born proud US citizen, a microbiologist, a small business owner, a former city councilwoman, and was selected as Mike Kopp’s running mate and candidate for Lieutenant Governor.  She is a rock solid Republican and a proud Trump supporter. 

Vera Ortegon has done an outstanding job as our National Committeewoman. She serves us well and her experience gives Colorado a strong voice and a powerful seat at the table. 

It is my honor to nominate Vera Ortegon for National Committeewoman.

               Respectfully,

               Marla Reichert

               Chairman

               Pueblo County Republican Party

Holly and I have worked with Vera Ortegon to elect Republicans since the 1990s. Vera is dedicated to our cause and has served us well as our National Committeewoman.

I am honored to second the nomination of Vera Ortegon for National Committeewoman.

To whom it may concern:

I have proudly known Vera Ortegon for many years and have known her to always be a woman

of her word. When she promised to keep us informed as to what goes on at the meetings she

attends in our name, she kept that promise. When she promised to serve with dignity, honor, and respect of those who sent her to do the job, she kept that promise.

For Vera it is all about the strength of the Republican Party and her willingness to do whatever it

takes to keep it both strong and viable. She embodies the ‘what can I do, how can I help’

philosophy that identifies a strong leader. Although she respects the traditions of the past, she

embraces the changes the future will bring. Building relationships, finding common ground

among diverse groups, and being a facilitator for change while keeping true to the traditions of

the past makes Vera the candidate of choice for Colorado’s National Committee Woman.

I believe Vera Ortegon is the best situated and most knowledgeable choice to lead as the

National Committee Woman during the coming term. To that end, I would like to second the

nomination of Vera Ortegon as a candidate for Colorado’s National Committee Woman.

               Respectfully submitted,

               Brenda Bright
