Thurlow, a Republican who represented Grand Junction in the Colorado House from 2015 to 2019, has spent the past several years since leaving office trying to save his political party from a growing division between far-right Trump supporters and what people on that side of the party called him and other GOP moderates, a RINO (Republican in name only).
