No matter which side of the political aisle you’re on, there’s a lot at stake in the November election
DENVER — . Republicans are hoping for major gains on a state and federal level with things like gas prices, crime, and inflation at the top of voters’ minds.
“Flipping one of the chambers will make it a completely different legislative session,” said Larua Carno and Republican political media strategist. This year, 17 Senate seats are up for reelection. Of those, Democratic candidates are strongly favored to win four seats while Republicans are strongly favored to win six, leaving both parties scrambling over just seven seats.
Data from the independent redistricting commission that redrew the Senate boundaries gives a 5-point advantage to Democrats in this seat. This race is shaping up to be one of the most expensive in the Senate; Solomon has raised $94,000 as of Monday while Roberts has raised $246,000. It’s also one of the races that most readily comes to mind for both political parties as being competitive.This district covers the Southeastern portion of Colorado Springs and Stratmoor. Republican Sen. Dennis Hisey is competing against Democratic Rep. Tony Exum for this seat.
Republican Sen. Robert Woodward is the incumbent in this seat, though with redistricting the lines are a bit different. He’s running against Democratic candidate Janice Marchman for the seat. Marchman is a mother of two, a teacher, and the former vice president of the Thompson School Board.In terms of spending, Woodward has largely outraised his opponent as of Monday with $254,000 in total contributions while Marchman has raised a total of $111,000.
According to Monday’s financial filings, Sullivan has raised a total of $124,000 while Kim has raised roughly $109,000.
