State Rep. Yadira Caraveo (D) defeated state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer (R) in the race for Colorado's newly formed 8th Congressional District. Caraveo won what was expected to be a close race for the seat, which has an even Cook Partisan Voting Index. The district covers much of the area between Denver and Fort Collins, including the cities of Brighton, Commerce City, and Thornton. The suburban district, which voted for Joe Biden by 4.7 percentage points in 2020, was a key "toss-up" race this cycle.
