DENVER — The chairman of the Colorado Democratic Party issued a statement calling for reform of the vacancy process after two Democratic state senators issued their resignations Thursday.Democratic Senators Janet Buckner and Chris Hansen issued letters of resignation just weeks after winning re-election in their districts. The two will vacate their Senate seats on Jan. 9, 2025, the day after the next legislative session begins.

Since the two state senators are resigning after the start of the next legislative session, new senators will be chosen by vacancy committees and will serve two years. A general election will then be held in each district in 2026 to fill the remaining two years of the terms. The Colorado Democratic Party said the District 31 vacancy committee will convene in early January. The District 29 vacancy committee will announce its meeting date 'as soon as possible,' according to the party.
