Checking in on Key 2014 Legislative Races: Q2 2013

2 Comments
by: Colorado Pols

We've scrolled through the fundraising reports for state legislative candidates, and after the jump you can see how some of the top races are playing out thus far. The top fundraiser in Colorado (among legislative candidates) is Democrat Alec Garnett, whose HD-2 warchest has grown to $35,467.

As of today, Democrats hold a 37-28 advantage in the State House and a 20-15 advantage in the State Senate. We have not included candidates for the 2013 recall elections in SD-3 (Giron) and SD-11 (Morse). We also did not include races where there are not at least two candidates who have reported fundraising figures, with the exception of SD-5 (where Democrat Kerry Donovan just filed his candidacy papers in July).

Don't forget Edgar Antillon in House District 32! Will 2014 be the Year of the Luchador?

The times are a-changing! Fascinating that HD-37 which currently has reactionary Spencer Swalm as its rep now has two African-Americans vying for the House: Democrat Marlo Alston and Republican Michael Fields. Right now Alston has a much better web presence and a more compelling life story. Hope to see more about this race as a microcosm of modern-day politics.
