Colorado's Last 'Purple' District in Pueblo Becomes Key Battleground for State Capitol Power

Colorado's Last 'Purple' District in Pueblo Becomes Key Battleground for State Capitol Power

The state Senate race in Pueblo, Colorado's last 'purple' district, is drawing significant attention as its outcome could determine the balance of power at the state Capitol. This district, Senate District 3, is considered an enigma, having voted for President Trump while also sending Democrats to the state Capitol. The race features Republican Dana Charles, a healthcare administrator, and Democrat Aaron Gutierrez, a criminal defense attorney, both fourth-generation Pueblans. Unaffiliated voters dominate the district, with Democrats holding a slight edge over Republicans in registered voters. Independent expenditure committees are expected to spend heavily in the district, with one group, Pueblo People for Change, already backing Democrats. Republicans are also focusing on SD3 to prevent Democrats from gaining a supermajority in the state Senate. The district is grappling with issues such as recovery from the Aspen Acres fire, energy and jobs, and the rural-urban divide.

House Speaker Mike Johnson's PAC Donates $250,000 to Colorado Redistricting Ballot Measure

House Speaker Mike Johnson's federal political action committee, American Revival PAC, has contributed $250,000 to Fair Redistricting Colorado, an issue committee supporting Amendment 86. This Colorado ballot measure aims to make it more challenging to redraw the state's congressional district boundaries outside of the existing constitutional process. The American Revival PAC, established by Johnson in 2017, funnels funds from other PACs linked to Johnson, which are used for Republican candidates and causes. The donation was made in August, with the measure set for a November vote. Fair Redistricting Colorado has also received funding from Advance Colorado, a conservative political nonprofit that does not disclose its donors. Another conservative nonprofit, Common Sense America, also contributes to a second issue committee, Brighter Colorado, which supports the measure. Amendment 86 is seen as a Republican response to a previous Democratic redistricting effort in Colorado.
