2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Colorado

The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Colorado were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the eight U.S. representatives from the state of Colorado, one from each of the state's eight congressional districts. The elections coincided with the Colorado gubernatorial election, as well as other elections to the U.S. House of Representatives, elections to the U.S. Senate, and various state and local elections.

District boundaries were redrawn to ensure that the districts are apportioned based on data from the 2020 census, which added an eighth seat to Colorado's delegation.

District 1
The 1st district includes almost all of Denver, as well as the enclaves of Glendale and Holly Hills. The district is very similar to its predecessor before 2020 redistricting. The incumbent was Democrat Diana DeGette, who was re-elected with 73.6% of the vote in 2020. She was running for re-election.

Nominee

 * Diana DeGette, incumbent U.S. representative

Eliminated in primary

 * Neal Walia, grassroots activist and former staffer for governor John Hickenlooper

Did not qualify

 * Dom Waters, graphic artist and educator

Nominee

 * Jennifer Qualteri

District 2
The 2nd district is located in north-central Colorado, taking in Boulder, Fort Collins, and Longmont, as well as the surrounding mountain ski towns, including Vail, Grand Lake and Idaho Springs. The district was made slightly larger during redistricting, and it is now based in the north-central part of the state rather than just west of Denver. The incumbent was Democrat Joe Neguse, who was re-elected with 61.5% of the vote in 2020. He was running for re-election.

Nominee

 * Joe Neguse, incumbent U.S. representative

Nominee

 * Marshall Dawson

District 3
The 3rd district encompasses the Colorado Western Slope, including the cities of Montrose, Pueblo, and Grand Junction. Redistricting made the district slightly safer for the incumbent, Republican Lauren Boebert, who was elected with 51.4% of the vote in 2020. The district absorbs part of the old 4th district. She ran for re-election. Under the new district lines, the seat has a Cook PVI of R+7 and Donald Trump would have carried the district by 8 points. Despite this, Democrats very nearly flipped the seat, as Boebert defeated Adam Frisch by a razor-thin margin of 554 votes. This was the closest House race in 2022.

Nominee

 * Lauren Boebert, incumbent U.S. representative

Eliminated in primary

 * Don Coram, state senator from the 6th district

Eliminated at Convention

 * Marina Zimmerman, crane operator

Declined

 * Tim Foster, president of Colorado Mesa University
 * Matt Soper, state representative from the 54th district (running for re-election)

Results
Republican incumbent Lauren Boebert faced a strong challenge from former Aspen city councilman and businessman Adam Frisch who led on election day. Despite many prediction sites like The Cook Political Report giving the race a rating of "Solid R" up to election day, the race would prove to become the closest race of the cycle. Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight gave Boebert a 97% chance of winning and most projections showed Boebert defeating Frisch by a margin of nearly 15%. However, on election night, Frisch led Boebert with over 90% of votes counted. Over time the vote would narrow, with at one point Frisch leading by only 60 votes. Boebert took the lead two days after the election, though confusion would start to grow as to how many outstanding votes would be left due to military absentee ballots among other errors with vote counting. Although the close margin triggered an automatic recount, Frisch conceded the race on November 17 after all overseas, military and provisional ballots were counted, as he acknowledged that a recount was very unlikely to overturn Boebert's lead. On December 12, Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced that the results of the recount showed minimal change, with Boebert losing 3 votes and Frisch gaining 1.

District 4
The 4th district encompasses rural eastern Colorado and the southern Denver exurbs, including Castle Rock and Parker. The incumbent was Republican Ken Buck, who was re-elected with 60.1% of the vote in 2020. The old 4th district ceded parts to the new 3rd district. Buck was running for re-election.
