Colorado's GOP Chairman has issued a statement congratulating likely Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

"Mr. Trump’s campaign brought out unprecedented enthusiasm among Republicans across the country throughout this primary season, and our Party will need to harness that energy to defeat Hillary Clinton this fall," said Colorado GOP Chairman Steve House.

House added, "America is ready for a leader who understands the threats facing us globally, one who has waded through mountains of regulation to create thousands of jobs, and who won't apologize for our success. Colorado stands ready to Make America Great Again."

House also used the statement to slam likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

"A Clinton presidency would be a cataclysmic disaster for our economy and conservative values, and we need to unite now if we are going to stop her," House said.
