But it would take a LOT more than this to put the seat in play. There are just way too many Republicans in this district who will always vote R, no matter what, and they outnumber Dems by a 2-to-1 margin. The only thing that puts this seat in play is a population shift that changes the dynamic of the area enough to do a significant change in redistricting.
The same is true of Denver and Diana DeGette, but substitute Democrats for Republicans. Some districts are just too overwhelmingly weighted one way or the other for there to be any real shot at change. Issues matter, but not more than numbers.
And no dog in this fight.
Though once upon a time I did work with the Army to define the description and required acquisition for an expanded training facility in another place. And their process were really, really thorough. (The USAF and Army jointly did acquire a bunch of acreage- and the vocal locals were opposed.)
is also opposing Ritter on Pinon Canyon, due to his ties to the military and his belief in the expansion. And I highly doubt it will put his seat at risk for a Dem pickup anymore than it will Lamborn.
The three CD’s in which this matters are CD-4, CD-5, and CD-3.
Salazar and Markey are against it, because the expansion directly impacts their district, and will essentially gut the local agricultural economies that are still there.
It makes sense for Lamborn to favor it, because he has a constituency that is going to buy the “national security” argument for it, not to mention the economic benefits to El Paso County.
I thought CD4 was up there and PiГ±on Canyon was way down there.

Not all of the boundary projections touch CD-4, but they come close enough to involve that district in a big way.
I thought 5 went one more county line east and south or 3 went another east right under 5.
CD4 does care.
