Geography
[edit | edit source]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.[2]
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.[3]
Recent election results
[edit | edit source]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.
