Here's a background piece on Marc Holtzman and Bob Beauprez from the Denver Post. They write, "Rich. Republican. And running for governor.

"That's pretty much all that Bob Beauprez and Marc Holtzman have in common as they work Colorado's Republican assembly Saturday in hopes of making that party's primary ballot in August.

"Beauprez, 57, has been married for 36 years to his high school sweetheart, Claudia, who chairs the bank he owns and whom in private he calls 'Mommy.' The couple have four children and one grandson.

"Holtzman, 46, is a lifelong bachelor who has for more than two years been engaged to Kristen Hubbell, 28, his former staffer at the Governor's Office of Innovation and Technology who now works as spokeswoman for the state attorney general. After several delays, the two plan a small ceremony in California on July 8, weeks before the August GOP primary."

Marc Holtzman and Bob Beauprez both hope to make the August primary coming out of Saturday's state Republican state assembly. Here's an article from the Denver Post. They write, "After a week of mounting tensions, Republican gubernatorial candidates Marc Holtzman and Bob Beauprez are readying for a Saturday showdown at the state GOP assembly in Colorado Springs. While both campaigns and the state party Thursday downplayed the potential for infighting and voting mishaps, the GOP has taken extraordinary measures to protect the balloting. A team of about 150 - including 35 El Paso County sheriff's deputies, 35 ballot-box judges, 70 ballot-distribution judges, four computer experts and five ballot-machine experts - will watch the voting. Cellphones have been banned, and delegate credentials will be closely monitored. The major upgrade in security is primarily due to Holtzman, who for months has expressed concerns that Republican Party leaders might block his ability to get on the ballot. However, he is not expecting any voting problems now, said spokesman Jesse Mallory...

"Holtzman on Tuesday rejected Beauprez's request to drop out of the race if he doesn't get enough support to automatically make the primary ballot. He has said he will petition onto the ballot if he doesn't garner the 30 percent of delegate support required to get on the ballot Saturday."
