Colorado sees the most candidates running for the U.S. House in at least a decade

The filing deadline for candidates running for Congress in Colorado this year was March 15, 2022. Thirty candidates are running for Colorado’s eight U.S. House districts, including 12 Democrats and 18 Republicans. That’s 3.75 candidates per district, more than the 2.28 candidates per district in 2020 and the 3.43 in 2018.

Here are some other highlights from this year’s filings:

  • This is the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census, which resulted in Colorado gaining one congressional district. 
  • The 30 candidates running this year are the most candidates running for Colorado’s U.S. House seats since at least 2012, the earliest year for which we have data.
