Democrats now benefit from a state trifecta (majorities in both chambers of the state legislature and the governor’s office.) We’ve also won a state government triplex (governor, attorney general and secretary of state.) These gains have helped us ensure reproductive rights in Colorado and put common sense gun-control measures on the agenda. But our current advantage isn’t a given. Important to know:​

​

• Less than a decade ago, Republicans held a chamber in the Legislature and a majority of the U.S. House delegation.

• Democrats only gained a majority in 2018

• The people of Colorado choose the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, State Treasurer, State Board of Education and University of Colorado Board of Regents
   

 

The next statewide election is on November 3, 2026.
