Progressive Democrat candidates have lost / are losing 8 out of 11 Colorado State Legislature races to their more moderate challengers.

This follows the governor and several other high-ranking CO Democrat officials publicly backing the opponents of sitting Legislators, such as Denver's Rep, Democratic Socialist Elisabeth Epps.

Epps sued the party for violating open meeting laws and other grievances last year. She also refused to come to the capital and worked remotely for the first 90+ days.
