The 2014 Colorado Senate elections were held on November 4, 2014 to elect 18 of the 35 members of the Colorado Senate. The election coincided with Colorado House of Representatives elections and other state and federal elections. Primary elections were held on June 24, 2014. Republicans gained control of the chamber for the first time since 2005, gaining one seat.[1]
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]
