Colorado's 26th Senate district is one of 35 districts in the Colorado Senate. It has been represented by Democrat Jeff Bridges since 2019, following the resignation of fellow Democrat Daniel Kagan. [3] [4]
District 26 covers many of Denver's immediate southern suburbs in Arapahoe County, including Cherry Hills Village, Englewood, Greenwood Village, Sheridan, Columbine Valley, most of Littleton, and a small part of western Aurora. [5]
The district is split between Colorado's 1st and 6th congressional districts, and overlaps with the 3rd, 38th, 40th, and 41st districts of the Colorado House of Representatives. [6]
Colorado state senators are elected to staggered four-year terms; under normal circumstances, the 26th district holds elections in presidential years.
In December 2018, Senator Daniel Kagan announced he would resign following odd allegations that he had repeatedly used a women's bathroom in the state capitol. [7] State Rep. Jeff Bridges was appointed to replace him in January 2019 and won a full term in 2020. [8]
