COLORADO SPRINGS — A group of Colorado Springs Republicans Wednesday endorsed Lily Tang Williams, the Libertarian candidate running in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race.

The nod from the El Paso County Republican Strategy Forum was the first time in its 13 years the group has endorsed a third-party candidate, says its chair Sheryl Glasgow.

Williams spoke to the group Wednesday for more than an hour about her former life under Chairman Mao’s rule in Communist China, a place “without any civil liberties, privacy, and economic freedom.” Her message resonated with the Republican group, which is neither affiliated with the El Paso County Republican Party nor the state GOP.

“It doesn’t matter what the political party is. It matters that the person stands for self-governance, limited government, and for freedom,” Glasgow, told The Colorado Independent. “We are Republicans, but there hasn’t been a whole lot of choice.”
