2022 Colorado Senate election

In the previous state Senate election (2020), the Democrats increased their majority to five seats. In August 2022, Republican Sen. Kevin Priola announced he was changing his party affiliation to Democratic. Therefore, for Democrats to lose their absolute majority in the Senate in this election, Republicans and other parties needed to gain at least four more seats. This was the first election with the districts drawn based on the 2020 census. Due to this, some districts did not have incumbents, as they chose to run in other districts that were not up for election in 2022. == Incumbents not seeking re-election ==

One Democratic and four Republican incumbents were term-limited and prohibited from seeking a consecutive third term. Under the laws for the state Senate, for terms to be considered non-consecutive, there needs to be a gap of at least four years between them. Democrats • District 5: Kerry Donovan was term-limited. • District 11: Pete Lee retired. • District 16: Tammy Story retired to run for state representative from District 25. • District 22: Brittany Pettersen retired to run for U. S. representative from Colorado's 7th congressional district. Republicans • District 1: Jerry Sonnenberg was term-limited. • District 6: Don Coram retired to run for U. S. representative from Colorado's 3rd congressional district. • District 7: Ray Scott was term-limited. • District 13: John Cooke was term-limited. • District 30: Chris Holbert was term-limited, then resigned on May 31, 2022. ==Predictions==
