Key state House races in Colorado: Sean Camacho, Iris Halpern neck-and-neck; Rep. Mandy Lindsay trails

• In House District 6, Rep. Sean Camacho and civil rights attorney Iris Halpern are neck-and-neck

• In House District 9, Monica Van Buskirk leads by a wide margin against Neal Walia

• In House District 33, Rep. Kenny Van Nguyen has a slim lead over Heidi Henkel, a Broomfield City councilmember

• Rep. Mandy Lindsay is trailing Democratic primary challenger Sarah Woodson

Primary results for key Colorado House contests rolled in on Tuesday night, when voters chose who would carry their party’s banner into the November general election.

Turnout stood at 24% among the state’s four million active voters — meaning a relatively small share of the electorate decided the races, a common feature in primary elections.

The House currently holds a 43–22 Democratic majority, a balance not expected to shift dramatically this year. But Tuesday’s primaries will effectively settle the outcome in many safe districts long before November.

Nineteen of the 65 House seats on the ballot this fall will be decided by candidates who emerged from contested primaries.

Here are the unofficial results in key districts as of 8 p.m.
