In 2016 Hillary Clinton carried the state. In 2018, Democrats won the governorship in Colorado and picked up one House seat. In 2020, former Governor John Hickenlooper defeated then Republican US Senator Cory Gardner. In 2022, Colorado Senator Michael Bennet is running for re-election. Let’s keep Colorado BLUE!
A Note about Texting:
Unlike writing and phonebanking, texting opportunities seem to come and go rapidly; a texting opportunity for a given race may be available for a few days or a few hours. Therefore, we are not listing texting opportunities on this page. If you would like to text voters, please see our texting resources page where one or more of the listed organizations may have a project for this state.
