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.[1]
Background
Weinberg lives in Loveland and is the founder and owner of a business called 365 IT – Technology Solutions.[2] Originally from South Africa, Weinberg immigrated to the United States along with his family in 2002.[3] 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.[4][5]
Colorado House of Representatives
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.[6][7][8]
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.[9] Weinberg denied the allegations, calling them "a politically motivated attempt to damage my name."[10][11][12]
Elections
Weinburg ran for election to the office in the 2024 elections. In the Republican primary election held June 25, 2024, he ran unopposed.[13] In the general election held November 5, 2024, Weinburg defeated Democratic Party candidate Sarah McKeen, winning 52.62% of the votes.[14]
