Colorado is rapidly turning blue, but Republicans might be on track to hold half the state's House seats by 2022
Colorado is rapidly turning blue, but Republicans might be on track to hold half the state's House seats by 2022.
"The commission for some reason has come up with a 4-4 map — a 4-4 map in a state that Biden won by 13.5 [points] and Hickenlooper won by 10," said Craig Hughes, a Colorado Democratic strategist. "This is as good of a map as Republicans could hope to get in many ways." In a statement, Perlmutter praised the location of the new district and but did not specify in which seat he would run. He currently lives in the 7th District, according to a spokesperson.
“Really, the most important part of this is getting community feedback, which the commission is going to do, and hear communities of interest," Democratic Rep. Jason Crow said Wednesday. "We're just really at the beginning."
