Below is a summary of notable outcomes from Colorado, district by district.

Colorado’s 3rd District

Originally from Colorado’s Western Slope, Ms. Boebert decided to switch districts late last year.

Analyses from the Cook Political Report, Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball, and Inside Elections suggest that Colorado’s Third District leans Republican.

In the district’s June 25 GOP primary, Grand Junction attorney Jeff Hurd emerged as the top candidate in a competitive field.

Colorado’s 5th District

In the predominantly Republican Fifth District, encompassing Colorado Springs and its surroundings, the retirement of Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) led to a notable GOP primary.

Jeff Crank, a regional vice-president for the Koch Brothers’ network, Americans for Prosperity, emerged victorious in the June 25 race, defeating Dave Williams, the head of the Colorado Republican Party.

On the Democratic side, researcher River Gassen and Joe Reagan, a U.S. Army veteran with a background in the nonprofit sector, were in a close race with 84 percent of the vote counted, with Mr. Reagan holding a slight lead.

Colorado’s 8th District

State Rep. Gabe Evans secured the Republican nomination by defeating former state representative and retired physician Janak Joshi.

A U.S. Army veteran and former police officer, Mr. Evans ran with the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.

In the upcoming general election, Mr. Evans will challenge incumbent Rep. Yadira Caraveo (D-Colo.), who faced no primary challengers this cycle.

Although Ms. Caraveo has raised significantly more funds than Mr. Evans, the GOP challenger has received substantial support from outside groups like Americans for Prosperity Action. Additionally, Fairshake PAC, funded in part by Silicon Valley venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, has contributed over $75,000 to support Ms. Caraveo.
