Democratic U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, a former state lawmaker and civil rights attorney, is seeking reelection to her 15th term against Republican challenger Valdamar Archuleta, who is Hispanic, a member of the Shoshone Tribe, and a poltiical newcomer who describes himself as a blue-collar worker and proud member of the LGBTQ community.

If elected, what are your top three priorities, and how will you tackle them?
My first priority is to lower the cost of living. We need a balanced budget amendment and to stop wasteful government spending. Lowering energy costs, which affect prices on everything, by making full use of America’s energy resources in necessary. And finally, we need to remove unnecessary regulations and simplify the tax code to help local and small businesses thrive.
Please cite one pressing issue specific or unique to your district, and say how you plan to address it.
People in Denver have concerns about the lack of enforcement of lower-level crime that has led to a rise in larger crime—for example, cars without license plates speeding through residential neighborhoods. This is partly due to not having enough Police Officers to adequately serve our city. We must invest in Law Enforcement and encourage a culture of appreciation and support for them. Legislation like the COPS Reauthorization Act and Department of Justice Grant Programs should be continued and possibly expanded.
Please describe your approach to working with colleagues from across the political aisle.
My responsibility would be to represent the people of Denver, not a political party. I would do what was best for Denver regardless of the party that happens to be behind or against a certain measure. In my campaign, I have proven that I am willing to put principles over party and I will do that in Washington as well.

If re-elected, what are your top three priorities, and how will you tackle them?
My priorities include passing into law the Women’s Health Protection Act to codify the protections of Roe v. Wade and ensure access to abortion care nationwide. I’m also focused on expanding access to quality healthcare and making insulin and prescription drugs more affordable. I will also continue working to tackle the urgent threat of climate change.
Please cite one pressing issue specific or unique to your district, and say how you plan to address it.
One pressing issue is environmental justice, particularly in communities like Denver’s Globeville, Elyria, and Swansea neighborhoods, which have been disproportionately affected by poor air quality and pollution for generations. Low-income or predominantly minority communities across the U.S. have been suffering from a disproportionately high number of environmental law violations. That’s why I’ve introduced legislation to require the EPA to identify 100 underserved communities across the U.S. that are disproportionately affected by these violations and clean them up.
Please describe your approach to working with colleagues from across the political aisle.
Finding common ground is often the best way to get results. I’ve proudly worked with my colleagues across the aisle to get important policies enacted. 8 years ago, I worked with a Republican pass my 21st Century Cures Act, which reshaped biomedical research. This Congress, I worked alongside a Republican to pass legislation addressing America’s clean energy production. President Biden recently signed this bill into law.
2nd Congressional District
The heavily Democratic 2nd CD spreads northwest of the Denver area, anchored by Boulder and Larimer counties. Stretching up the Interstate 70 corridor from Idaho Springs to Vail and north to the Wyoming border, including Steamboat Springs.
In his third term, Democratic U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse, the assistant House minority leader, ranks No. 4 in his party’s leadership in the chamber. The attorney and former University of Colorado regent headed Colorado’s Department of Regulatory Agencies before his election to Congress in 2018. Republican Marshall Dawson, an electrical engineer who runs a development organization for global chip-maker Advanced Micro Devices, is making his second run for the seat.

Please cite one pressing issue specific or unique to your district, and say how you plan to address it.
Climate change, notably wildfire resiliency and drought prevention. Since being elected to the Congress, I have made the fight against climate change a centerpiece of my legislative work. From serving on the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, to my work as Chairman of the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands, I have worked tirelessly to champion climate action, including an innovative and successful proposal for a 21st century Climate Conservation Corps and the Camp Hale Continental Divide national monument.
Please describe your approach to working with colleagues from across the political aisle.
I am proud to have been identified as the most bipartisan member of Colorado’s delegation, and believe my legislative record of having 18 bipartisan bills signed into law demonstrates my commitment to working collaboratively. I am also the founder and Co-Chair of three bipartisan caucuses: the Bipartisan Wildfire Caucus, the Colorado River Caucus, and the Bipartisan Fentanyl Prevention Caucus. Through these caucuses, we have coordinated efforts with members from both sides of the aisle to propose and implement solutions.

If elected, what are your top three priorities, and how will you tackle them?
I’m hopeful we’ll unite to fix the open border, reduce overspending, and stop perpetuating the Ukraine war. But additionally, I want to limit the harm done to Americans by our government and reduce the power given to the administrative state. We will pass the REINS Act, requiring congressional approval on many new regulations. New programs need simple sunset clauses. And, I will advocate for regular order.
Please cite one pressing issue specific or unique to your district, and say how you plan to address it.
Our natural resources and BLM lands, on both sides of the divide, are invaluable to CD2. To help ensure the most efficient use of the Colorado River Basin water, we should remove non-native invasive species which consume 192B gallons per day. I will oppose federal coercion and takeovers of water rights. I will see that local stakeholders help determine the continuing use of our federal lands.
Please describe your approach to working with colleagues from across the political aisle.
I remain optimistic that many in Congress are able to come together to solve America’s problems. I’m eager to partner with anyone willing to agree on topics, knowing we may be on opposing sides of others. My engineering experience helps me identify secondary and tertiary effects of decisions and avoid shortsighted actions, and I believe that will help in convincing others on both sides of the aisle.
3rd Congressional District
The Republican-leaning 3rd CD covers most of Colorado’s Western Slope and parts of Southern Colorado, including Pueblo County and the San Luis Valley. Its major cities are Grand Junction, Pueblo, Durango and Aspen.
It’s currently represented by Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, who moved this cycle across the state to a safer district after narrowly defeating Democrat Adam Frisch in the last election.
This year, Frisch, a retired Wall Street currency trader and former member of the Aspen City Council, is making another run for the seat, this time against Republican Jeff Hurd, a Grand Junction attorney and first-time candidate.

If elected, what are your top three priorities, and how will you tackle them?
1. Cost of Living is killing our working families. We must invest in our communities by making workforce housing more affordable, improving access to health care in rural areas, and lowering the cost of child care.
2. Water is the lifeblood of Western and Southern Colorado. CD3 deserves better than to be represented in Congress by someone backed by special interests who want to steal our water and send it to Denver.
3. Healthcare must get more affordable and accessible in rural areas, so more families can live happier, healthier lives.
Please cite one pressing issue specific or unique to your district, and say how you plan to address it.
CD3 feels left out of the conversation by the Great State of Denver. CD3 is the only Colorado Congressional district that doesn’t touch the Denver Metro. I’ll make sure people in rural Colorado feel listened to and respected by Denver and DC.
Please describe your approach to working with colleagues from across the political aisle.
I’m not a partisan guy. I am not on Team Democrat or Team Republican, but Team CD3. Regular people are fed up with politics, which is why I won’t be a yes-man for either party. I’ll work across the aisle to address the real challenges that face communities in Western and Southern Colorado.

If elected, what are your top three priorities, and how will you tackle them?
My top three priorities are securing the southern border, supporting our energy industry, and protecting Colorado’s agriculture and water. I will work to enhance border security by completing construction in high-risk areas, using advanced technology for surveillance, and strengthening penalties for illegal crossings. Supporting the energy industry is key to job creation and economic growth. I will advocate for responsible energy production policies, including traditional and renewable resources, to boost our local economy and ensure energy security. Protecting our water and agriculture is crucial for our rural communities. I will defend the Colorado River Compact and oppose water exportation schemes that threaten our district’s resources.
Please cite one pressing issue specific or unique to your district, and say how you plan to address it.
A pressing issue specific to our district is water management. I plan to address this by defending water rights, supporting high-altitude water storage, and collaborating with local leaders to protect our agricultural sector and sustain rural communities.
Please describe your approach to working with colleagues from across the political aisle.
I believe in working pragmatically across party lines to achieve results. Building trust and open communication, especially on shared issues like agriculture and rural healthcare, is essential. I will seek common ground while upholding my principles, aiming to be a prepared, principled, and effective representative for Colorado’s 3rd District.
4th Congressional District
Dominated by Douglas County and portions of Larimer and Weld counties, the solidly Republican 4th CD covers Colorado Eastern Plains, including all or portions of 18 additional counties.
The district was represented for five terms by Republican U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, who resigned his seat in March. Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, a former restaurant owner who has represented the 3rd CD for two terms, moved into the district at the beginning of the year and won a six-way primary for the GOP nomination. She’s facing Democrat Trisha Calvarese, whose background includes writing speeches and policy work for the AFL-CIO and the National Science Foundation, moved back to the district last year to care for aging parents shortly before both died.

If re-elected, what are your top three priorities, and how will you tackle them?
Our first priority must be securing our Southern Border, which the Biden-Harris Administration has failed to do. We have millions of illegal aliens pouring across our border, with dangerous terrorists and gang members bring drugs and chaos into our communities. It must stop. At a Colorado level, I will continue to prioritize protecting and storing water, as well as introducing bills to protect our oil & gas industry from overreach by the federal government. We need to manage our water resources responsibly for both our ag industry and development, and find solutions that work for our entire state.
Please cite one pressing issue specific or unique to your district, and say how you plan to address it.
Reliable access to water and a plan to store it for our ranchers and farmers, which is why I introduced the Finish the AVC Act to help complete the Arkansas Valley Conduit and have successfully secured millions in funding for water and infrastructure projects in Colorado.
Please describe your approach to working with colleagues from across the political aisle.
I’ve shown I can work across the aisle to get things done, like working with our Democrat Senators to get the Pueblo Jobs Act signed into law. We also collaborated on multiple Community Project Funding requests that led to tens of millions of dollars coming back to Colorado to fund important water and infrastructure projects.

I will fight for our veterans and our seniors, work to get the government out of reproductive choices and freedoms, and I will work to create paths to well-paid union jobs and apprenticeships right out of high school.
While Lauren Boebert has worked to slash Social Security and against health care benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits, I will always stand up for them. I’ll codify Roe v. Wade into law. And I will fight for new ladders of economic opportunity.
Please cite one pressing issue specific or unique to your district, and say how you plan to address it.
We face a rural healthcare crisis and Lauren Boebert’s failure to do her job has made it worse for Eastern Colorado. Families in our district have to drive hours to access basic healthcare.
I’ll fight to increase funding so rural hospitals and clinics can provide essential services, and I’ll push for expanded telehealth options.
Please describe your approach to working with colleagues from across the political aisle.
At the National Science Foundation, I worked with a Trump appointee to take on China and make the American economy more competitive. I’ll work with anyone to get good work done. But Lauren Boebert is a grandstander who only works for herself. We need leaders who will work for the people of Colorado.
5th Congressional District
The reliably Republican 5th CD covers nearly all of El Paso County, including Colorado Springs. It’s the only U.S. House seat in Colorado whose voters have never elected a Democrat.
Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn is retiring this year after serving nine terms representing the district. The candidates hoping to take his place include Republican Jeff Crank, a former radio host, podcaster and top staffer for Americans for Prosperity, and Democrat River Gassen, a first-time candidate who teaches astronomy and solar energy science at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs and was a researcher at NASA.

If elected, what are your top three priorities, and how will you tackle them?:
My priorities include codifying women’s reproductive healthcare and the right to abortion through federal legislation, addressing inflation and the high cost of living by reducing housing and healthcare expenses, and promoting sustainable economic practices. I also aim to strengthen national security by ensuring veterans receive the respect and mental health support they deserve, as this impacts recruitment among younger generations.
Please cite one pressing issue specific or unique to your district, and say how you plan to address it.
We have an aging veteran population and an overburdened VA, with significant mental health challenges and a high suicide rate. I am committed to improving mental health resources, access to care, and overall support. Despite progress from the PACT Act, more is needed, especially for mental health. I will work with local veterans to develop a comprehensive support plan. Additionally, low recruitment levels due to concerns about veteran care pose a national security threat that must be addressed.
Please describe your approach to working with colleagues from across the political aisle.
My approach to bipartisan collaboration is grounded in mutual respect, open dialogue, and a focus on serving the public.

Securing the border, getting inflation under control, downsizing the federal government. Secure the southern border by hiring more border patrol agents, building Trump’s wall, adding additional technology and re-instating remain in Mexico. We must cut non-defense discretionary spending back to pre-COVID levels and cut those levels by one percent for five years. We must renew the Trump tax cuts to spur economic growth, which will bring record revenue

Mission retention and growth at the five military installations in El Paso County. For decades, the military bases in our community- and now the supporting industries have been the backbone of our community. I am working to secure a seat on Armed Services and will constitute a military advisory council with the brightest minds to come up with resourceful ways to enhance our community.
Please describe your approach to working with colleagues from across the political aisle.
You can’t demonize your political opponents and continually call them a threat to democracy, if you take working with others seriously. We need to return to civility in politics and work with others to do good, no matter what their political affiliation is. You can do this while never giving up your principles. Most of what happens in Congress is about working with others for the greater good.
6th Congressional District
Based around Aurora, the suburban 6th CD covers the eastern and southern parts of the Denver metro area. Once a reliably Republican seat, it’s trended toward the Democrats in recent elections.

· Enhancing the nation by prioritizing the enforcement of laws to secure our borders and communities, ensure the safety and prosperity of the nation by implementing effective strategies and policies that protect the country’s integrity and the well-being of its citizens.
· Rebuilding our economy, which starts with bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States, investing in America first, focusing on rebuilding our infrastructure, becoming energy independent through responsible drilling, and securing and strengthening our supply chain.
· Simplifying the government by streamlining and de-regulating when appropriate, simplifying the tax code and reducing waste within the IRS.

Sanctuary policies are exacerbating many issues by shielding criminal aliens from enforcement, creating safe havens for those who prey upon migrant and local communities alike. These policies hinder ICE from collaborating with local law enforcement, making it difficult to identify and apprehend gang members. I would legislate to end these provisions and sanctuary policies.
Please describe your approach to working with colleagues from across the political aisle.
There is more that unites us than divides us — I will find something I can agree with every colleague on. We shouldn’t be afraid to compromise, one of the major dysfunctional things about congress is that no one is willing to make a deal and get results for the people.

My district has faced two of the nation’s worst mass shootings. Coloradans know that we do not have to choose between Second Amendment protections and safer communities. As a hunter and former Army Ranger, I know that there are many responsible gun owners in Colorado, but I also know what guns are capable of and I am committed to finding common-sense reforms to reduce gun violence.
Please describe your approach to working with colleagues from across the political aisle.
The divided nature of our current political environment demands that I seek out bipartisan efforts and solutions to get things done. This means constantly reaching out across party lines, communicating and listening, and finding ways to work together. We must recognize that we want the same thing – security and prosperity for all Americans. I see this everyday in the work I do with the For Country Caucus, a bipartisan group of veterans working together to pass meaningful legislation in support of that goal.
7th Congressional District
The Democratic-leaning 7th CD stretches from Jefferson County and Broomfield south past Cañon City along the eastern slope of the Continental Divide.

Colorado has continued to see droughts that have impacted our water levels and threatened our tourism, farms, and agriculture industries.

Please describe your approach to working with colleagues from across the political aisle.
I am proud of my consistent track record of reaching across the aisle to deliver results for Colorado.

8th Congressional District
Created following the most recent U.S. Census ahead of the 2022 election, the competitive 8th CD covers parts of Adams, Weld and Larimer counties north of the Denver metro area, stretching from Thornton and Northglenn to Greeley.

We must take action to lower costs and make it easier for working-class families to achieve their version of the American Dream. Our local economy relies heavily on the strength of Colorado’s agriculture. We must provide our farmers and ranchers with the essential support they need.

Take back control of the southern border from the cartels and human smugglers. Fix the broken immigration system for legal immigrants. Deport violent criminals illegally present in our communities.
Stop defunding the police and actually support them. I’ll work to fix my opponent’s failed policies — cashless bail, defunding border patrol, and decriminalization of fentanyl — and make our communities safe.
Cut the government red tape and overregulation that is driving up costs and crushing Colorado families.

This district feeds the world and powers the world, so agriculture and energy issues are very important.

I’ll support our energy economy and work to overturn the Biden Administration’s ban on liquified natural gas (LNG) exports.
Please describe your approach to working with colleagues from across the political aisle.
My record tells the story. As a state representative in the minority party, I still passed almost 60% of my bills by working across the aisle. Two thirds of the sitting mayors in the district have endorsed me. As a police officer and US Army veteran, I’ve put country first for a combined total of 22 years. Putting country first means knowing your principles AND being able to collaborate.
