Democrats are set to take an unprecedented level of control over the Colorado House of Representatives after flipping five additional seats, unofficial election results show.

The House’s current 41-24 Democrat-Republican member split is expected to increase to 46-19 Democratic dominance. Preliminary election results show Democratic candidates leading in 46 districts and Republicans leading in 19, according to the Secretary of State’s Office as of 5 p.m. Wednesday.

If the election results remain as they are, that gives Democrats a more than two-thirds majority in the House – among the biggest advantages House Democrats have had in Colorado history. 

“I’m humbled that voters continue to put their trust in Democrats to lead the Colorado House,” said House Speaker Alec Garnett, D-Denver. “Across the state, Democratic lawmakers and candidates prevailed on the strength of their records. Voters rewarded the majority for listening to Coloradans and doing what we said we’d do. … Democratic lawmakers moved Colorado forward, saved people money, and protected a woman’s right to choose.” 

In House District 57, incumbent Republican Rep. Perry Will lost to Democratic candidate and small business owner Elizabeth Velasco. In House District 49, Democratic Rep. Judy Amabile defeated Republican Kathryn Lehr, after Amabile was drawn out of her District 13 during recent redistricting.

In addition to the House’s rising Democrat population, most of the Republican House seats will see centrist candidates overtake who many view as anti-establishment legislators. 

Of the 10 sitting GOP House members considered to lean the furthest right, nine of them did not run for re-election, most due to term limits or because they ran for other offices: Reps. Mark Baisley, Ron Hanks, Tim Geitner, Patrick Neville, Andres Pico, Kim Ransom, Shane Sandridge, Dave Williams and Kevin Van Winkle. That leaves Rep. Stephanie Luck as the only remaining far-right House member.

Luck won her reelection bid in the newly redrawn District 60, receiving 68.2% of votes to her Democratic opponent Kathryn Green’s 31.8% so far. But Pico’s House District 16, Geitner’s District 19 and Van Winkle’s District 43 seats are currently being led by Democratic candidates.

For Republican candidates who are holding on to the seats, most are much more moderate than their predecessors. For example, Neville’s prospective replacement Lisa Frizell as well as Anthony Hartsook and Rose Pugliese who are on course to fill Ransom and Sandridge’s seats, respectively.

In a statement, the Colorado House Republicans expressed disappointment over the election results.

“Colorado voters showed an independence streak, bucking national trends that saw big wins for conservative Republicans in other states,” the statement read. “Though some state House races may not have finished the way we wanted, others certainly did, we in the Colorado House Republican Caucus continue to stand with the Colorado families who put their trust in us.” 

Here are other current results in the most competitive House elections this year, as of Thursday.
