Suburban in character, this ethnically and economically diverse district takes in Denver's southern and eastern suburbs and is now fairly Democratic, despite historically being a Republican district.
Aurora, a diverse city with 21% foreign-born residents makes up the base of the population: while the city generally votes to the left and is a suburban stronghold for Colorado Democrats, it also provided enough support for Republican
Mike Coffman to hold the district for a decade. The suburbs to Denver's south side in the district are a mixed bag -
Greenwood Village and
Cherry Hills Village have a large amount of registered Republicans, however the Republicans here are mainly economically conservative and much more moderate socially compared to the rest of the state.
Centennial and
Littleton have historically tended to vote Republican but have voted Democratic since 2016:
Englewood and
Sheridan, being closer socially and economically to nearby Denver are safe for the Democrats, however they do not make up a large part of the district's population. == Composition ==
