Colorado House Seats to Keep an Eye On This Election Year

Colorado Independent

During the 2015-16 session of the Colorado House of Representatives, Democrats held a 3-seat advantage over Republicans.

That could change tonight. Here are some Colorado house elections you should be keeping an eye on tonight, according to The Colorado Independent.

In Broomfield’s District 33, Democratic Rep. Dianne Primavera has reached her term limit. The seat has flipped between Democrats and Republicans three times in the past four elections.

GOP leaders are hoping to hang on to Durango’s District 59 seat. Outside Democratic groups have spent nearly half a million dollars to put this one in play.

But that’s not the most expensive house seat up for grabs. That honor goes to district 3, which covers Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, Englewood and Sheridan. In that competitive district, Democrats hold an advantage about 1,300 active voter registrations over Republicans.

Republicans are also facing a tough battle to hold onto Pueblo County's House District 47. In that district, Democrats hold a small advantage of about 1,000 voters registrations over Republicans
