The Pueblo County Republican Party chair said Tuesday the party is temporarily uprooting from its downtown headquarters in the southern Colorado city after volunteers discovered a bullet hole in a plate glass window days before ballots were due in the state’s primary election.

“We’re closing things down now until we know we have a safe space for volunteers,” county GOP chair Michelle Gray told Colorado Politics.

Gray said she had no evidence the bullet was intentionally fired at the political party’s headquarters in the 600 block of North Main Street and declined to speculate as to motive.

“It can’t be the first window on Main Street that’s been shot out,” she said.

“This is a great space, this is where we’re going to stay,” Gray added. “We’re just going to put some precautions in place.” She said the party planned to move back into the street front office after installing security cameras and taking other security measures.

Gray said police are investigating the incident, which took place between late Friday night and sometime Saturday morning, when volunteers arrived at the office for a get-out-the-vote activity and noticed the broken window.

Gray said she initially thought someone had thrown a potted plant through the window but later determined it had been shot after a party worker found the bullet hole.

Republican congressional candidate Stephen Varela, a Pueblo-based member of the State Board of Education, said in an email to supporters Tuesday that he was moving his primary election watch party from the party headquarters to nearby bowling alley.

“While the motive of the perpetrators is unknown, acts of violence toward a political party or candidate must always be condemned,” Varela wrote in the fundraising email. “We must not be intimidated.”

Varela is one of six GOP candidates running a primary for the 3rd Congressional District seat held by Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, who announced at the beginning of the year she was moving to another district.
