A state senator, a mayor, a county commissioner, and a former Green Beret combat veteran who works in the oil patch are vying for the Republican party’s nod in the June 28 GOP primary in Colorado’s newly created Congressional District 8 (CD 8).

One of seven new U.S. House districts created nationwide following post-2020 Census redistricting, CD 8 is the first new district established in Colorado since the 2000 Census and reflects population growth east of I-25 north of Denver.
