The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the Colorado House of Representatives from 2010 to 2024.[1] It will be updated as information becomes available following the state’s candidate filing deadline. If the outgoing officeholder was politically unaffiliated, or was a member of a minor-party, nominations to fill the vacancy follow the nomination procedure for regularly scheduled general elections. The House of Representatives voted on Saturday to approve a substantial foreign aid package for Ukraine and Israel, and the TikTok bill was one of a handful considered alongside it, passing by 360 to 58 votes. Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, unveiled the package earlier this week amid increasing pressure from other congressional leaders and the White House to hold a vote on a similar $95 billion package that passed the Senate in February. The 3rd district encompasses the Colorado Western Slope, including the cities of Montrose, Pueblo, and Grand Junction. The incumbent is Republican Lauren Boebert, who was re-elected with 50.1% of the vote in 2022.

The Colorado House of Representatives is the lower chamber of the Colorado General Assembly. Alongside the Colorado State Senate, it forms the legislative branch of the Colorado state government and works alongside the governor of Colorado to create laws and establish a state budget. The United States is divided into 435 congressional districts, each with a population of about 710,000 individuals.

House Appropriations Committee

Many argue the money should be spent domestically or that policy changes at the US-Mexico border should take precedence. Saturday's vote marked the first time the House had approved billions of dollars in Ukraine aid since December 2022, when Democrats still controlled the chamber. The fourth bill would allow the sale of frozen assets of Russian oligarchs to help fund future aid to Ukraine, potentially force the sale of TikTok and authorize stricter sanctions on Russia, China and Iran. The House approved the fourth bill Saturday in a 360 to 58 vote. Washington — The House approved a $95 billion foreign aid package Saturday, in a pivotal moment for House Speaker Mike Johnson as he tries to stave off a right-wing rebellion.

District 9

The 8th district includes the northern Front Range cities and surrounding Denver communities, including Thornton, Brighton, Johnstown, and Greeley. The incumbent is Democrat Yadira Caraveo, who was elected with 48.4% of the vote in 2022. DENVER — After Colorado's presidential primary on Tuesday, the focus turns to primary races for other offices, including Colorado's eight seats in the U.S.

The 1st district includes almost all of Denver, as well as the enclaves of Glendale and Holly Hills. The incumbent is Democrat Diana DeGette, who was re-elected with 80.3% of the vote in 2022. “The bill will use existing 217 provisions to treat excessive force via prone restraint,” Herod said. The House Judiciary Committee amended the bill in early April so that prone restraint is still permitted, removing an earlier provision that said it would only be permitted when “deadly force” is justified.

They concluded that members of the Independent Legislative Redistricting Commission didn’t abuse their discretion when they approved the House and Senate maps, and so those maps should stand. Colorado’s new redistricting process is in the history books. The Colorado House of Representatives is one of 85 state legislative chambers holding elections in 2024. Last session, McCluskie prime sponsored the most successful bills of any lawmaker at 67 total bills.

Historical party control

The primary election for those offices will be held later this year. Ballots for the June 25 primary election will be mailed out starting June 3 and must be returned by 7 p.m. The President of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Majority and Minority Leaders of each chamber serve as the primary leadership for the legislature. These six members are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the House and Senate as well as serving as the oversight authority for the legislative service agencies.

Johnson has stood behind his decision to bring up Ukraine aid for a vote. Citing classified briefings he's received, Johnson called the aid "critically important" in pushing back on Russian aggression. As of the 2020 Census, Colorado state representatives represented an average of 88,956 residents. After the 2010 Census, each member represented 77,614 residents.

During the last legislative session, McCluskie served as chair of the Joint Budget Committee — the most powerful committee in the Legislature responsible for the state’s annual budget — and vice chair of the Appropriations Committee. She has also previously chaired the School Finance Interim Committee and the Appropriations Committee. She won her first bid for reelection in 2020 and her second on Tuesday. If reelected once more, she will complete her fourth and final two-year term in 2026. In the 2018 elections, Democrats increased their majority in the Colorado House of Representatives from to 41-24. In the 2020 elections, Democrats maintained their majority of in the Colorado House of Representatives.

Another barrier to TikTok being divested in America could be the Chinese authorities, as The Register previously reported. It is understood that an export control law could allow the government to prevent the sale of the company’s US operations. If that were to happen, the US government might be forced to implement a ban. It is understood that the four TikTok ban bills enacted by the House will be bundled together as one package to forward to the Senate, making it more likely to be approved. The bill is widely expected to pass the Senate in the coming days, as it generally mirrors a $95.3 billion national security bill passed by the upper chamber in February.

That amendment came at the bill sponsors’ request, and Herod said it helped assuage the concerns of many organizations that initially opposed the bill. The bill passed on a vote, mostly along party lines with most Democrats in favor of the measure. Democrats hold strong majorities in the state House and Senate. With district boundaries finalized, candidates can move right into the 2022 campaign season. The next few weeks are likely to see a spate of hopefuls declaring for statehouse races. Already on Monday, Democratic state Rep. Kyle Mullica announced he will join the race for Senate District 24.

“This is the beginning, not the end of this long process,” he added. That legislation had also given TikTok only a six-month window in which to comply with the sale or ban ruling, whereas the new bill allows for 270 days, and gives the President authority to issue a one-time extension of 90 days. As a result of his move, Johnson could face a vote on his ouster in the coming weeks. The GOP speaker, however, has grown more willing to confront the threat from the right, and Democrats have suggested that they're willing to protect him from an ouster effort if he allowed a vote on Ukraine aid. The House of Representatives on Saturday passed a more than $60 billion bill to provide military and economic aid to Ukraine.
