With a 2024 presidential margin of R+36.1, this district ranks among the most partisan in Colorado's lower chamber, suggesting a rural or exurban electorate that has moved consistently away from statewide Democratic trends.

The 2008 election was the turning point, when the Democratic candidate carried the district by nine points. The 2024 margin was nineteen points, in line with the district's new direction.

The demographics suggest why. A population of 135,923, a 80% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $110,656 situate the district in the broader realignment patterns of recent cycles.
