Colorado's 2nd congressional district, Federal electoral district in north-central Colorado, United States
Colorado's 2nd congressional district is a federal electoral area in north-central Colorado that stretches from Boulder County through Broomfield County to Gilpin County. The district spans a mix of urban communities, mountain towns, and parts of the Rocky Mountain National Park, creating a varied landscape of valleys and peaks.
Colorado established this congressional district in 1870 when the state joined the Union and Colorado received its first two representatives. Boundary changes have occurred many times over the decades as population shifted across the state.
The University of Colorado Boulder within the district shapes local policies through student activism and academic research in environmental and social matters.
Residents can find their congressional representative by entering their address on the state election office website or using official district maps. Information about local voting locations and who represents your specific address is readily available online.
Although this district includes substantial mountainous terrain and national parkland, more than four-fifths of its population lives in urban or suburban areas. This concentration of people in relatively few towns creates a sharp contrast with the open wilderness surrounding them.
