Donald Trump’s Colorado campaign is opening four field offices around the state this week, part of an effort Trump’s state director says will swing Colorado’s nine electoral votes to the Republican in the fall.

With just eight weeks remaining until mail ballots reach Colorado voters, the GOP presidential candidate is adding organizers and what the campaign calls “the first wave” of offices.

“The Trump-Pence campaign has all the staffing and resources we need to win in Colorado,” said Patrick Davis, the Trump campaign’s state director, in a statement. “We are talking with independents and alienated Democrats daily, fully anticipating a large Trump turnout in November, regardless of voter affiliation. Colorado voters we hear from understand we cannot afford a third Obama term, and will vote for change in November.”

The four Colorado Trump offices will also house state and national Republican Party operations, the campaign said. The campaign’s state headquarters shares space at the Colorado Republican Party’s office in Greenwood Village.

The new offices locations are in Loveland, Wheat Ridge, Colorado Springs and the Uptown neighborhood in Denver.

Trump’s Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, already has 16 offices up and running in Colorado, with plans to open another one on Saturday, her state campaign spokeswoman said.

The Clinton campaign has offices operating in Aurora, Boulder, Brighton, Carbondale, Centennial, Colorado Springs, north Denver, south Denver, west Denver, Durango, Fort Collins, Grand Junction, Greeley, Lakewood and Wheat Ridge. It’s adding a new one in Commerce City this weekend.

The Trump campaign is throwing office-opening parties at the four new locations: 6-7 p.m. Friday at the Loveland office; 9:30-11 a.m. Saturday at the Wheat Ridge office; 6:30-8:30 p.m. Saturday at the Denver office; and 6-8 p.m. Tuesday at the Colorado Springs office.
