DENVER — Joe O’Dea, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate for Colorado, this week received the endorsement from the editorial board of The Gazette. O’Dea is a conservative, first-time candidate and has already received a slew of endorsements from conservative officials and activists across Colorado.
“ENDORSEMENT: Joe O’Dea Could Become Bennet’s Worst Nightmare”
By The Gazette editorial board

...
In the general election, O’Dea would provide voters with a stark contrast to Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet. While Bennet grew up in Washington, D.C. — attending elite schools and later an Ivy League law school — O’Dea is a life-long working-class Coloradan. He dropped out of Colorado State University in his senior year to start a phenomenally successful construction company and other successful businesses.
O’Dea was adopted at birth by a Denver cop and stay-at-home mom. In any casual conversation with him, it quickly becomes apparent that hard work has forged his character. He grew up entitled to nothing and earned everything he has.
“I don’t begrudge Bennet’s privilege,” O’Dea said. “What I do begrudge is that Bennet has used his privilege to help the Democratic Party, not the people of this country.”
...
As Colorado leads the nation in bank robberies, stolen cars, and a soaring fentanyl overdose rate, a self-made businessman and son of a respected career cop may appeal to the masses of unaffiliated voters who are not inherently political. O'Dea comes across as an intelligent everyman who eschews anything politically extreme or doctrinaire. He merely wants peace, safety, justice and economic stability restored to Colorado.
...
In trying times, good people step up to fight for stability. They want what’s right for society, not extreme revolutionary agendas. Fortunately for Colorado, O’Dea has come to fight for what’s right. Republicans and unaffiliated voters will help themselves by making O’Dea a nominee for the U.S. Senate.

On May 17, O’Dea received key endorsements from more than a dozen current and former elected officials and conservative activists.
Last month, O’Dea released a new TV, radio, and digital ad blitz spotlighting his story as a political outsider and his conservative credentials.
