What this office is

A United States Senator is a federal legislator elected by the whole state. Colorado has two Senate seats. This page is Class III — the other of those two. The term is six years. Class III last stood in the regular election of 2022. The next regular election is 2028. The term of record runs through 3 January 2029.

Florida and Ohio Class III specials in 2026 are not this office. Colorado Class III is not on the 2026 Senate ballot.

This page is Side One: inform, educate, inspire. It is not the race, not legal advice, and not an official government notice. For the next cycle, use the election twin.

How the job fits this community

Class III is the longer remaining regular clock of Colorado’s two seats. The geography is still the state: Grand Junction and the Slope, Pueblo and the south, Larimer and the north Front Range, and the metro that already has a Class II inbox. Senate casework does not stop at Denver County.

Federal work here is water, public lands, a base, a farm bill, and a VA clinic on one payroll. The Senator is the human hinge between that statewide map and Washington.

What the job entails

  • Legislate. Introduce and cosponsor bills. Sit on committees. Vote.
  • Advice and consent. Nominations and treaties.
  • The purse, with the House. Appropriations decide what actually gets built or staffed.
  • Oversight. Hearings and letters that watch the executive branch.
  • Casework. Statewide — including counties that are not on I-70.
  • Two homes. Washington for votes. Colorado for the people who hired the office.

What a day is like

There is no single Tuesday. In Washington: a file from Grand Junction and a file from Pueblo. In the state: a day that is not the same as Colorado’s 3rd House district, even when both touch the Slope.

The staff is the office. A serious Senator is a serious principal: clear priorities, honest casework, no rumor as policy.
