Colorado's 30th Senate district is one of 35 districts in the Colorado Senate. It has been represented by Republican Kevin Van Winkle since June 2022, following the resignation of fellow Republican Chris Holbert.[3] [4]
District 30 covers the far southern suburbs of Denver in Douglas County, including Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Meridian, Stonegate, Acres Green, Roxborough Park, and small parts of Parker and Littleton.[5]
The district overlaps with Colorado's 4th and 6th congressional districts, and with the 39th, 43rd, 44th, and 45th districts of the Colorado House of Representatives.[6]
Colorado state senators are elected to staggered four-year terms; under normal circumstances, the 30th district holds elections in midterm years. The 2022 election will be the first held under the state's new district lines.
In May 2022, incumbent Senator Chris Holbert resigned, saying that he intended to move to Florida.[7] State Rep. Kevin Van Winkle was chosen to take Holbert's place, and is seeking a full term in 2022.[8]
