Joe Oltmann is a conservative podcaster and conspiracy theorist who formally joined the 2026 Colorado gubernatorial race as a Republican. He is known for trumpeting false election conspiracies and has controversially called for the execution of political rivals, including Governor Jared Polis and President Joe Biden. Oltmann's candidacy is part of a crowded Republican field, but observers question his viability in a blue state, warning that his divisive rhetoric and focus on conspiracy theories could harm the party's chances in down-ballot races.
