2008 Colorado
Election Results
The message couldn't be clearer: voters wanted progressive change. They elected an outstanding progressive as the next president. They put Democrats solidly in control of the Congress. They elected 86 great Progressive Majority candidates to state and local office!
In Colorado's electoral battlegrounds, Progressive Majority is fighting back against decades of conservative control. And this year, our efforts paid off again: we held our majorities in the state House and Senate and elected two progressives to the Colorado University Board of Regents. With each victory, we build the progressive base in Colorado, and we keep conservatives out of office.Click below to jump to results of Progressive Majority candidates running for:
