State Executive Board
Chairman
Josh’s political roots run deep - he was campaigning in parades by age 8 and became 2nd Vice Chair of the Logan County GOP at just 19. Now, as a 4th-generation Colorado rancher and seasoned conservative leader, he’s bringing Eastern Plains grit to the statewide stage. When he’s not managing Sonnenberg & Sons Cattle with his wife and kids, you’ll catch him behind the plate - umpiring baseball or coaching his boys’ teams. As Chair, Josh is on a mission to grow the bench and keep Colorado’s conservative movement charging forward. Let’s ride!

He now runs his own insurance agency in Colorado Springs - but his favorite title? Dad. Sean cherishes time with his daughter and loves hitting the mountain trails on his bike when he's not in the fight for freedom.
