Background
In the previous state Senate election in 2012, Democrats held the chamber with a 5-seat majority of 20 Democratic seats and 15 Republican seats. However, Democrats had their majority reduced to one seat after the 2013 Colorado recall election, where Senator Angela Giron and Senate President John Morse were successfully recalled and replaced by Republicans.[2] Because of this, Republicans only needed a net gain of one seat in order to claim control of the chamber. Democratic senator Evie Hudak was also targeted in the recall election, however she chose to resign instead, triggering an off-cycle election in district 19.[3]
