Colorado's 2026 Election: A Blue Wave Across the State and Eagle County!

​

Democrats celebrate sweeping victories, historic local milestones, and a powerful show of voter participation.

The November 3, 2026, election gave Colorado Democrats plenty to celebrate! From the Governor's Office to the halls of Congress, from the State Capitol to our own Eagle County communities, voters helped shape the next chapter of Colorado's future.

First and foremost, THANK YOU to everyone who cast a ballot! Whether you voted for the first time or have participated in elections for decades, your voice matters. Democracy works when people show up, make informed decisions, and participate.

Democrats Sweep Colorado's Statewide Races!

​

Colorado Democrats won every statewide partisan contest on the ballot.

• Phil Weiser was elected Governor, alongside Lieutenant Governor Lesley Dahlkemper.

• Jena Griswold was elected Attorney General.

• Amanda Gonzalez was elected Secretary of State.

• Jeff Bridges was elected State Treasurer.

• Senator John Hickenlooper won reelection to the U.S. Senate.

​

Colorado's congressional delegation also saw significant Democratic victories, including the reelection of Congressman Joe Neguse in Congressional District 2.

​

Here in the mountains, we celebrated victories by State Senator Dylan Roberts and State Representatives Meghan Lukens and Elizabeth Velasco.

​

Not every race went our way. In Congressional District 3, Democrat Dwayne Romero mounted a hard-fought campaign against Republican incumbent Jeff Hurd. While the outcome was disappointing, we are grateful to Dwayne and everyone who worked on his campaign.

Eagle County Celebrates Its Own Victories!

​

It was an especially exciting election for Eagle County Democrats, with five women leading our county's Democratic slate:

• Kathleen Brendza — County Commissioner, District 3

• Rebecca Anderson — Sheriff

• Teak Simonton — Treasurer

• Andie Noakes — Assessor

• Claire Noble — Coroner

​

Rebecca Anderson's election was particularly historic, making her the first woman elected Sheriff of Eagle County.

These local offices have a direct impact on our daily lives, from public safety and county finances to property assessments and essential county services.
