Cook Political Report: Toss Up[1] Sabato's Crystal Ball: Toss Up[2] |
Voters in Colorado elected one member to the U.S. Senate in the election on November 4, 2014.
Representative Cory Gardner won election to the U.S. Senate in 2014. He defeated incumbent Mark Udall (D) to win the seat.[3]
Udall was vulnerable in 2014. This was partially due to the unpopularity of the Affordable Care Act. Additionally, he faced a legitimate Republican challenger in U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner. Polling heading into the election showed a tight race with Gardner appearing to have a slight edge.[4] Udall did hold a significant edge over Gardner in fundraising throughout the race, however.[5][6]
Both the Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball rated the race as a "Toss Up."[7][8]
Candidate Filing Deadline | Primary Election | General Election |
---|---|---|
Primary: A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election.
Colorado utilizes a semi-closed primary system. According to Section 1-7-201 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, " An eligible unaffiliated elector, including a preregistrant who is eligible under section 1-2-101 (2)(c), is entitled to vote in the primary election of a major political party without affiliating with that political party."[9][10][11]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
Voter registration: Voters were able to register to vote in the primary by either June 2 (by mail, at a voter registration agency, voter registration drive or DMV), June 16 (online) or on election day (in-person at a voter service polling center). For the general election, voters could register through election day, November 4, 2014.[12]

Incumbent: The election filled the Senate seat formerly held by Mark Udall (D). Udall was first elected in 2008.

Race background
Multiple Republican candidates filed to run for the seat held by Udall. However, because Cory Gardner received the votes of 73 percent of the more than 3,900 delegates at the state assembly on April 12, 2014, he was the only Republican candidate to appear on the primary ballot. Thus, he was the one to face incumbent Mark Udall in November.[13]
Polling showed the two candidates to be in a tight race with Gardner having a slight edge heading into the election. However, Udall had a large fundraising advantage over Gardner throughout the race. As predicted, the race remained close up to the general election. Both the Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball rated the race as a "Toss Up."[14][15]
Endorsements
Cory Gardner
Gardner received the endorsement of The Denver Post on October 10, 2014. "Congress is hardly functioning these days. It can't pass legislation that is controversial and it often can't even pass legislation on which there is broad agreement. Its reputation is abysmal, and even its members rarely dispute the popular indictment. It needs fresh leadership, energy and ideas, and Cory Gardner can help provide them in the U.S. Senate."[16]
Issues
Water
Both incumbent Udall and challenger Gardner spoke at a conference on water issues in August 2014. Udall issued a news release attacking Gardner for supporting a 2008 ballot initiative, Amendment 52, which would have cut funding on water projects to increase funding on transportation issues. In the release, former Senator Ken Salazar said, "Senators have a duty to represent and protect the well-being of all Coloradans. It is deeply disturbing that Congressman Gardner sided with out-of-state interests over the water needs of Colorado communities. Almost two-thirds of Colorado’s voters from every part of the state rejected Gardner’s scheme. Coloradans deserve better than Congressman Gardner."[17]
Gardner responded to the attack with, "It’s a shame that Sen. Udall can’t even talk about how we need additional dollars for transportation and the water infrastructure in the state, he would rather resort to partisan attacks. I am passionate about water issues in Colorado I have been a leader at the state Legislature and U.S. Congress to protect Colorado water and Colorado water rights from intrusion. I’m going to talk about how Sen. Udall has simply been a rubber stamp for Barack Obama and his administration as they have tried to take Colorado water."[17]

Key votes
Below are important votes the former incumbent cast.
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
During the shutdown in October 2013, the Senate rejected, down party lines, every House-originated bill that stripped the budget of funding for the Affordable Care Act. A deal was reached late on October 16, 2013, just hours before the debt ceiling deadline. The bill to reopen the government, H.R. 2775, lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[19] The final vote on H.R. 2775 was 81-18, with all 18 votes against the bill from Republican members. Mark Udall voted with the Democratic Party for the bill.[20]
Obamacare
Udall voted in favor of H.R. 3590 (The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act). The bill passed the Senate 60-39 on December 24, 2009.[21]

SEIU launched an ad campaign on July 15, 2014, targeting four Republican incumbents in the U.S. House over their chamber’s inaction on immigration reform in 2014.
The ad campaign targeted Gardner and Mike Coffman (Colorado) of Colorado, David Valadao of California and Joe Heck of Nevada with a round of Spanish-language television ads for about two weeks. The ad buy was in the mid-six figures.[22]
Senate Majority PAC released an ad on July 15, 2014, attacking Gardner for supporting a congressional bill to effectively ban abortion even in cases of rape and incest. It also accuses him of trying to "redefine rape" by excluding statutory rape and victims who were drugged and then raped.[23]
AFSCME released an ad on August 15, 2014, attacking Gardner for receiving money from the Koch brothers. The ad stated that he looks out for the super wealthy.[24]
