Ben Markus reports on the "safe seats" in this year's congressional race for Morning Edition.
This week we’re looking at the issues and candidates in Colorado’s 7 Congressional districts. Five of the races are competitive, but two were over before they started.
Colorado’s vast 4th Congressional District is nearly as big as the state of North Carolina. But it now includes different territory then incumbent Republican Cory Gardner won two years ago. Noticeably absent is Larimer County – which redistricting excluded last year. But that’s not stopping Democrat Brandon Shaffer from trying to make inroads in a solidly conservative electorate.
