Baisley Concedes to Sen. Hickenlooper; Evans Seeks Recount
The longtime Democratic incumbent will return for a second six-year term after campaigning on restoring Medicaid and SNAP funding.
- On Tuesday, Democratic Sen. John Hickenlooper won reelection to the U.S. Senate, defeating Republican Mark Baisley as The Associated Press called the race at 7 p.m., with Hickenlooper leading 81% to 16% in early returns.
- Hickenlooper dominated fundraising with over $9.5 million raised, while Baisley raised $138,210—a 1.5% disparity—and aligned himself with President Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'
- Forward Party nominee Bob Chew spent more than $3.5 million on his campaign but failed to build momentum, while Hickenlooper previously defeated state Sen. Julie Gonzales by nearly 6 percentage points in June's Democratic primary.
- Returning to Washington for a second term, the 74-year-old Hickenlooper declared this his final campaign and criticized the 2025 law as the 'big bad beautiful betrayal.'
- When the 120th Congress convenes in January, Hickenlooper and Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet will become the first pair of Democratic senators in Colorado history to serve over six years alongside one another.
