Communications director Owen Loftus was raised in Pueblo, Colorado by his then wayward Democratic parents.  At the tender age of five, Owen pinned an elephant on his shirt in support of Republican presidential nominee George H.W. Bush and hasn’t looked back.

Owen is a proud graduate of Pueblo East High School and received degrees in English and political science from CSU-Pueblo.

Owen got his start in politics with the Bob Schaffer for Senate campaign.  Since then, he has led communications efforts for Republicans in the Colorado House of Representatives, Congressman Mike Coffman’s 2012 reelection campaign, and Ken Buck’s 2010 race for U.S. Senate.

When he’s not fighting against Colorado’s radical Democrats, Owen can be found testing out Denver’s newest restaurants, fixing up his townhouse, catching some rays at Coors Field, or visiting his family in Pueblo—all of whom are now proudly registered Republican.
