Elections in Colorado |
---|
The 2020 United States Senate Election in Colorado will be held on November 3, 2020, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Colorado, concurrently with the 2020 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.
Under Colorado law, the filing deadline for U.S. Senate candidates is March 17, 2020, the third Tuesday in March of the election year; the primary election occurred on June 30.[1][2] Incumbent Republican Senator Cory Gardner is running for reelection to a second term, and will face Democratic former Governor John Hickenlooper in the general election. Gardner was unopposed in the Republican primary, and Hickenlooper defeated former State House Speaker Andrew Romanoff in the Democratic primary. Gardner is one of two Republican U.S. Senators facing reelection in 2020 in a state President Donald Trump lost in 2016, the other being Susan Collins from Maine.[3]
Background
Cory Gardner was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2014, narrowly defeating incumbent Democratic Senator Mark Udall in a very successful election year for Republicans. Gardner is widely considered vulnerable in this election cycle due to Colorado's Democratic trend in recent cycles and his support for President Donald Trump.[4] The seat is expected to be highly competitive and is widely considered the most likely Republican-held seat to flip Democratic. The Democratic nominee, former governor John Hickenlooper, has a double-digit lead over Gardner in the polls.[5]
However, various minor scandals appeared in the days leading up to the June 30 Democratic primary, sparking speculation that progressive candidate Andrew Romanoff might be able to have an upset. However, Hickenlooper's widespread name recognition as well as negative attacks from Romanoff led to many state democrats and voters to sour on the candidate and instead vote for the former Governor. Colorado Independent Ethics Commission, have left the seat hotly contested.[6]

Caucus
On March 7, 2020, the Colorado Democratic Party held a non-binding Senate primary preference poll at its caucus sites. Attendees could choose delegates to county and then state conventions. If a candidate received at least 30% of the delegates at the state convention they would be placed on the ballot. Some candidates were not listed because they instead chose to attempt to collect signatures to reach the ballot. Candidates needed 1,500 signatures from each congressional district. Hickenlooper and Underwood chose to do both. Romanoff collected the needed signatures as of March 8, 2020.[129][130]
Caucus results
Romanoff was the only candidate to get more than 30% in the initial precinct caucuses. Hickenlooper withdrew from the assembly process soon afterward, choosing to qualify for the ballot exclusively by petition. Ballot access for assembly candidates will be decided at the state assembly. Caucus winners do not always receive the party's nomination; Romanoff won them in the 2010 Democratic primary for Colorado's Senate race, but Michael Bennet won the party's nomination that year.[131]
The aggregate results of the various precinct caucuses on March 7, 2020, were:[132]
Candidate | Total Raw Votes | Percentage of Vote Won (%) |
---|---|---|
Andrew Romanoff | 8,629 | 54.98 |
John Hickenlooper | 4,761 | 30.34 |
