Reapportionment Means Uncertainty in HD 51

Changes to the boundaries of Colorado’s General Assembly districts, known as reapportionment, mean that Reps. BJ Nikkel and Brian DelGrosso both live in House District 51. Rep. Nikkel will continue to represent HD 49 through this year. But the two representatives, who have similar views and consider themselves friends, say they have decided that only one of them will seek the nomination of the Republican Party to run for the seat in November’s election. They have not made a final decision on the matter and have been under some pressure from the Larimer GOP to make a formal announcement quickly.
