Nine months ago, Victor Marx was a political unknown. Outside of his own orbit, he was perhaps most familiar to parts of the Christian nonprofit world, to listeners of a certain brand of podcast and to anyone who\u2019d seen videos of him laying claim to the title of the world\u2019s fastest gun-disarmer.<\/p>\n

The Republican gubernatorial candidate has attended only one debate alongside his two opponents. He\u2019s never run for office before and has few prominent Republican officials backing him. His backstory is extensive and full of the sort of bizarre detail that, in a pre-Donald Trump world, would likely have caused his campaign to implode before it left the launchpad.<\/p>\n

And after the June 30 primary,\u00a0Marx very well may be Colorado Republicans\u2019 candidate for governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is pretty wild,\u201d he said recently, standing in front of his nonprofit\u2019s indoor shooting range, a handgun holstered in his waistband. \u201cSomeone like me, running for governor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The comment appeared to come less from bewilderment at how far he\u2019d come than from vindicated confidence. And it belied what has been a thoroughly, carefully atypical campaign \u2014 one that has leaned on the 60-year-old\u2019s charm, his direct outreach to voters and his use of the now-familiar pitch of a political outsider who shares voters\u2019 distaste for elected politicians and campaign-speak.<\/p>\n

As he\u2019s outraised other Republicans and seized headlines, Marx has also been bombarded with questions about his background from reporters and from skeptical conservatives.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s said he was forced to kill a man as a child and, when asked by 9News how many people he\u2019d killed as an adult, he replied, \u201cDoes it matter?\u201d He once ran martial arts schools in Hawaii and is a black belt in \u201cCajun Karate,\u201d a form of martial arts created by his dad, Karl.<\/p>\n

He describes himself as a \u201chigh-risk humanitarian\u201d who trains law enforcement and provides trauma relief to people in the United States and overseas, including in conflict zones. Another humanitarian confirmed that Marx was in Iraq a decade ago and that, though he was largely behind the front lines, he was present when medical workers came under fire at least twice.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Marx also talks frequently about praying to free people from demons that, he\u2019s said, can be attracted by porn or unmarried couples living together. In one 2023 podcast, Marx said that he \u201chunts demons\u201d and that, after his dog identified a supernatural presence in a couple at a pool, he set a woman free from \u201cfive demons that had been assigned to her.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an interview, Marx said it didn\u2019t matter if reporters believed him and that he was comfortable with scrutiny of his background, even as it\u2019s drawn incredulity from comedians on national television.<\/p>\n

Voters will decide, he said, arguing that he was qualified because of their support.<\/p>\n

\u201cJudge us by the ability to run a campaign,\u201d he said, \u201cand look at the guy who\u2019s never done it, nothing \u2014 but stepped into it, was aware of the problem and the need, (and) assessed what needed to be done to win. I have avoided some pitfalls of doing it the old way, but the action I\u2019ve taken has broken records.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Marx raised $2.67 million through late May, the most of any Republican gubernatorial candidate up to that point in at least 20 years. To get on the ballot, he submitted more than 28,000 signatures, more than any gubernatorial campaign since at least 2014. Those signatures were not verified because Marx earned ballot access through an assembly vote.<\/p>\n

His endorsements include U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, who did not return messages seeking comment; musician Ted Nugent; three county sheriffs; and Mark Geist, who defended the U.S. embassy in Libya in 2012. (Marx\u2019s campaign has also paid Geist and his wife for consulting and security work.)<\/p>\n

Dick Wadhams, a former chairman of the state GOP and critic of Marx, said Marx had run \u201cthe strangest campaign I\u2019ve seen in all the years I\u2019ve been involved in this business.\u201d<\/p>\n

He argued that Marx\u2019s beliefs about demons and his assertions that he\u2019s helped tens of thousands of women and children \u2014 some amount of which he\u2019s claimed to have rescued, alongside more he\u2019s said he\u2019s helped by providing them stuffed animals and trauma support \u2014 were so outlandish that they would cost the party in down-ballot races in November.<\/p>\n

Kristi Burton Brown, another former state party chair, questioned Marx\u2019s apparent disinterest in policy discussions and debates. His opponents, state Rep. Scott Bottoms and state Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer, have called him a fraud and a con man; both said they would not support him should he win the nomination.<\/p>\n

\u2018New territory for a political campaign\u2019<\/h4>\n

But Wadhams and Burton Brown both acknowledged that Marx\u2019s campaign had proven successful, marshalling what Wadhams described as Marx\u2019s\u00a0 base of support and expanding it with direct mail and \u201cvery aggressive social media outreach.\u201d Marx\u2019s campaign has spent $725,000 on mailers \u2014 nearly what Kirkmeyer and Bottoms have raised combined \u2014 and he\u2019s leaned into videos and podcast appearances.<\/p>\n

When the moderator of one debate, a conservative talk show host, sent Marx a letter pressing him for specifics on his background, Marx skipped the event and organized a rally instead. His campaign later released photos showing more people had attended his event than the debate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in such new territory for a political campaign in Colorado \u2014 frankly, in the nation,\u201d Wadhams said, incredulous at Marx\u2019s TV interviews.<\/p>\n

Marx has eschewed dense policy discussions \u2014 an intentional choice, he said, to let voters\u2019 eyes adjust to his background.<\/p>\n

That hasn\u2019t been a concern for his supporters. Marx is likable, which is \u201cgold\u201d in politics, said Jeff Hunt, a conservative activist and radio host. He first met Marx at a Charlie Kirk memorial in September, where Marx teased his candidacy.<\/p>\n

\u201d \u2018He doesn\u2019t have policy chops\u2019 \u2014 alright, well, he still outraises everybody,\u201d Hunt said. \u201d \u2018He\u2019s got a unique background\u2019 \u2014 well, he\u2019s still driving more people to his events. \u2018He won\u2019t debate\u2019 \u2014 he still has energy and big rallies. (His opponents) are trying to figure out an angle. But when you\u2019re dealing with somebody who has such a big personality force, it\u2019s just not landing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hunt continued: \u201cI\u2019ve told him (that) if I was a political strategist, I would not ever have told him to tell the stories he has told or the things he has written about in his book \u2026 That\u2019s part of the enjoyment I have in this whole process. Alright man, you are 100% yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marx has said he was the victim of profound abuse as a child. In his memoir, he wrote that his stepfather made him behead a cat at age 3. Marx wrote that at age 7, his stepfather put his hand around his own and forced him to shoot and kill a man. His stepfather, he alleges, then smeared blood on him and buried the man beneath the house.<\/p>\n

The sheriff of Simpson County, Mississippi, where the shooting allegedly took place, did not respond to messages seeking comment.<\/p>\n

A Marine veteran who moved to Colorado to work for Focus on the Family, Marx founded All Things Possible in 2003 \u201cto reach people with the gospel of Jesus Christ through outreaches and crusades primarily to youth,\u201d according to the group\u2019s first tax filing. By 2024, ATP\u2019s annual revenue had surpassed $7.6 million.<\/p>\n

A closer look at ministry<\/h4>\n

ATP has done outreach to youth in prisons and focused on \u201ctrauma response,\u201d Marx said, which includes handing out stuffed animals loaded with recorded prayers and songs. In an email, All Things Possible said the ministry was separate from Marx\u2019s campaign. Marx said he and his wife resigned from the group after he announced his candidacy.<\/p>\n

But overlap remains: Marx\u2019s campaign address is at the ministry\u2019s training center outside of Colorado Springs, which is also the home he sold to the nonprofit for nearly $3 million in 2024. His campaign manager was also listed as an ATP board member on its most recent tax returns.<\/p>\n

Marx has said he and his group have worked overseas, including in Iraq, Syria, Israel and southeast Asia. Its tax filings show it has spent more than $4.3 million on those efforts in recent years, though those documents also state ATP had no standing personnel or offices in those countries.<\/p>\n

Dave Eubank, the American head of the Myanmar-based Free Burma Rangers, said he met Marx in California roughly 15 years ago. He later invited Marx to Mynamar, where Eubank\u2019s group supports rebels and civilians caught in that nation\u2019s civil war.<\/p>\n

The trip served as Marx\u2019s introduction to \u201chigh-risk humanitarianism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within a year, Marx asked if Eubank and his medics would like to go to Iraq to help civilians amid fighting between the Islamic State military group and Kurdish and Iraqi military units. Eubank said Marx\u2019s group funded his efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he came to Syria once while we were there, briefly, and then he came to Iraq multiple times while we were there,\u201d Eubank said, praising Marx as a friend and ally. \u201cUsually it was during some lull in the fighting, but not always. He was in at least one \u2026 maybe two engagements with us, when we were providing medical care when we came under direct fire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marx has also said he called in an airstrike on Islamic State militants. Eubank said he hadn\u2019t heard that story before it came up during Marx\u2019s 9News interview in late May. When Eubank was working in the Middle East, he said, the U.S. military had dropped smoke at his request to cover escaping civilians. (The Post sought comment on Marx\u2019s claims from U.S. Central Command, which oversees the Middle East. In an email, an unnamed representative said military officials \u201chave nothing for you on this.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Marx said ATP\u2019s goal is now to \u201cequip and encourage\u201d law enforcement investigating crimes against children. He said his group helped train law enforcement involved in a 2025 operation that located 43 missing children in Florida.<\/p>\n

Abigail Meyer, spokeswoman for the U.S. Marshals Service, which led the operation, said that, \u201caccording to those who ran this operation,\u201d Marx\u2019s group was not involved.<\/p>\n

Political outsider or not, many of the policies Marx has embraced in the gubernatorial campaign \u2014 audits of the state budget, support for police and immigration enforcement, strict Medicaid work requirements, tax relief, school choice \u2014 will be largely familiar to voters in the Republican primary.<\/p>\n

His website\u2019s policy platform includes a number of questionable statutory and constitutional citations; one statute it references has been repealed, and another purports to link a constitutional prohibition on sex discrimination to homeowner\u2019s insurance spikes. He told The Post that the platform was written by an \u201cattorney who did work for Elon Musk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marx said he\u2019s withholding some plans for the general election. Besides, he argued, the GOP primary wouldn\u2019t be decided on policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think Barb or Scott \u2026 are three degrees different on policy positions (from me),\u201d he said, referring to Kirkmeyer and Bottoms. The real difference, he argued, will be who can convince voters they can win.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think, just naturally, I\u2019m comfortable in that arena.\u201d<\/p>\n
