Ron Weinberg is a state representative from Loveland,Colorado. A Republican,Weinberg represents Colorado House of Representatives District 51,which includes a portion of Larimer County,Colorado,including the city of Loveland. [2]
Weinberg lives in Loveland and is the founder and owner of a business called 365 IT –Technology Solutions. [3] Originally from South Africa,Weinberg immigrated to the United States along with his family in 2002. [4] Prior to serving as a state representative,Weinberg was the chair of the Larimer County Republican Party and the chairman of the Loveland Planning Commission. [5] [6]
On October 30,days before the 2022 general election,Hugh McKean died. McKean ran unopposed for the Colorado House of Representatives,thus triggering a vacancy committee to meet and appoint a successor to fill the remainder of McKean's term and the term in which he was elected posthumously. The vacancy committee elected Weinberg to succeed McKean for the new term beginning in 2023,while Amy Parks was elected to serve out the remainder of McKean's term. [7] [8] [9]
In July 2025,Weinberg was accused of bullying and making unwanted sexual advances prior to his election in 2022,from four women from Larimer County. [10] Weinberg denied the allegations,calling them "a politically motivated attempt to damage my name." [11] [12] [13]
The Colorado Secretary of State filed a formal complaint against Rep. Ron Weinberg on December 19th,2025,for alleged campaign finance violations,alleging he used campaign funds for personal expenses between 2023 and 2025. [14] .
Key allegations include:
$1,955 donation to Maccabi Tel Aviv Football Club,which the Secretary of State’s Office claims was not a legitimate campaign expense,though Weinberg argues it was advertising with his campaign logo on jerseys, [15] multiple hotel stays at Monarch Casino Resort Spa in Blackhawk and the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver,including a $673.62 charge on the last day of the legislative session with no related legislative business, [16] over $3,500 in bar and restaurant bills at McGraff’s American Grill in Loveland,with individual charges ranging from $25.56 to $100,which the complaint deems excessive and not reasonably related to campaigning, [17] $396.23 spent on cigars and other personal expenditures, [18] and a $96.26 charge at the University Club in Denver on Sept. 18,2025,the most recent expense cited. [19]
Weinberg maintains all transactions were made through his registered agent,Marge Klein,and argues the spending was campaign-related,such as hosting events or supporting a team with personal ties. He claims the scrutiny is suspicious,especially coming shortly after he ran for Republican leadership in the House. [20]
The case is now before a hearing officer,with a decision expected by January 20,2026. [21] If violations are found,penalties may include fines,return of misspent funds,and required clarifications. [22]
Weinburg ran for election to the office in the 2024 elections. In the Republican primary election held June 25,2024,he ran unopposed. [23] In the general election held November 5,2024,Weinburg defeated Democratic Party candidate Sarah McKeen,winning 52.62% of the votes. [24]
