Twenty-three legislative races include contested primaries, and those primaries could go a long way to determining the makeup of the General Assembly in 2027 — particularly whether the Democratic caucuses will lean more progressive and the Republican caucuses will lean more conservative. And on this week’s “Colorado Chamber Office Hours” podcast episode, I examine what this could mean through the lens of two Senate races.
First, I talk with Taylor Voss, a moderate Democrat seeking an open Pueblo-area seat held by a retiring Democrat — a seat that will be one of the most fiercely contested in the November general election. Voss discusses the bread-and-butter issues on which he’s campaigning and talks about what his district wants from the Legislature.
Republican Teddy Collins discusses business issues important to his legislative campaign on “Colorado Chamber Office Hours.”
Then I speak with Teddy Collins, a Republican running for an open GOP-held seat running from Jefferson County south past the Arkansas River Valley. Collins, who cleared the Republican field shortly before this interview was recorded, discusses what issues matter in his conservative-leaning district and how he pivots to the general election after prevailing in what once was a competitive primary.
