科罗拉多州选民将于周二选出未来两年代表该州的美国众议员，民主党人和共和党人正在全国范围内争夺众议院控制权。这个“百年州”拥有八个国会选区，目前由四名民主党人和四名共和党人均分。
Coloradans on Tuesday will pick their U.S. representatives to serve for the next two years as Democrats and Republicans battle across the country for control of the House. The Centennial State is home to eight congressional districts, which are currently split evenly between four Democrats and four Republicans.
共和党众议员杰夫·赫德正寻求首次连任，他在2024年以略低于51%的得票率险胜科罗拉多州西部的第3国会选区。特朗普总统最初支持共和党初选挑战者霍普·谢佩尔曼，并称赫德为“RINO”（即“名义上的共和党人”），但在谢佩尔曼退选后，特朗普又重新背书支持赫德。企业主、陆军老兵德韦恩·罗梅罗作为民主党提名人参选该选区，他在初选中击败了滑雪公司创始人亚历克斯·凯洛夫。
Republican Rep. Jeff Hurd is seeking reelection for the first time after narrowly winning the western Colorado-based 3rd Congressional District with just under 51 percent in 2024. President Trump initially backed GOP primary challenger Hope Scheppelman after calling Hurd a “RINO,” or “Republican in name only,” but Trump later re-endorsed Hurd after Scheppelman dropped out. Business owner Dwayne Romero, an Army veteran, is running as the Democratic nominee in the district, having defeated ski company founder Alex Kelloff in the primary.
火品众议员劳伦·博伯特（共和党）在国会三届任期内在华盛顿崭露头角，但她在捍卫第4国会选区时可能面临挑战，该选区涵盖科罗拉多州东部部分地区和部分丹佛郊区。选情分析机构将该竞争评为“倾向共和党”或“可能共和党”。民主党提名人是退役美国海军少将艾琳·劳巴彻，她曾在拜登前总统任内担任国家安全委员会主任。
Firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert (R) has made a name for herself in Washington, D.C., during her three terms in Congress, but she may be in for a challenge defending the 4th Congressional District that comprises the eastern part of Colorado and some Denver-area suburbs. Election handicappers rate the race as likely or lean Republican. The Democratic nominee is retired U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Eileen Laubacher, who served as the National Security Council director under former President Biden.
第8国会选区从丹佛郊区向北延伸至怀俄明州边界，是民主党本周期另一个重点攻坚目标。他们希望击败另一位新任众议员、共和党人盖布·埃文斯，后者在2024年以49%的得票率获胜。民主党候选人是前科罗拉多州众议员曼尼·鲁蒂内尔，他今年早些时候辞去州议会席位以专注于竞选。大多数选情分析机构预测该席位将翻红为民主党。投票将于美国东部时间晚上9点截止。
The 8th Congressional District, which stretches from the Denver suburbs north to the Wyoming border, is another top target for Democrats this cycle. They're hoping to unseat another freshman congressman, Rep. Gabe Evans (R), who secured just 49 percent in his 2024 victory. The Democratic candidate is former Colorado state Rep. Manny Rutinel, who resigned his state legislative seat earlier this year to focus on the campaign. Most election handicappers predict this seat will flip to the Democratic column. Polls close at 9 p.m. EST.
