Lesley Hollywood and the Tea Party influence

Meet Lesley Hollywood, stay-at-home mom turned kingmaker.

Thirty years old and new to politics, she has in short order become director of the Northern Colorado Tea Party and state coordinator of the national Tea Party Patriots, leading some of the had-it-up-to-here conservatives who have flipped the Senate race in this swing state upside down.

Now the "Tea Party"-favored candidate in the Aug. 10 Republican primary, Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck, has gone from long shot to front-runner in his race against former lieutenant governor Jane Norton, who is backed by the Republican establishment.

So in a state many hailed in 2008 as the nation's new bellwether, the Senate race has become a primer of the politics of 2010: A Republican Party driven by Tea Party activism, for one, and a Democratic Party trying to rally its base despite concern about the lagging economy and disappointment over the pace of change since Obama's election.   More -

  1. "Lesley Hollywood"............... Actually her real name is Lesley Schoonmaker and she uses Hollywood as an alias so people don't look into her past.

  2. Any quick fact checking would prove that this person uses a false name. Her criminal record in both the states of Colorado and California, her driver's license all indicate her name. At no time, has she ever been named Lesley Hollywood. Her criminal record indicates her frequent, and known use of aliases. This information is all public and easily verified.

  3. Her real name is Lesley Schoonmaker as the person in 2011 very correctly indicated. The author of this article should make the necessary correction and apology, as well as reconsider a profile of a person whose greatest achievement is having being able to fool people into thinking that they are not a high school drop out with a long criminal record.

  4. Yes it is true, there is no such person as Lesley Hollywood. This is Lesley Schoonmaker and she uses a fake name in order to avoid background checks. Shame on this media outlet for not being more diligent and easily discovering that there is no person existing with the name Lesley Hollywood.
