Tisha Mauro

Rep. Tisha Mauro is a chile farmer from Pueblo running for reelection to the Colorado House this fall. Tisha has advocated for policies that protect our environment and improve the lives of the workers, small business owners, farmers, and ranchers who keep Colorado’s economy running, championing legislation to expand and improve EV charging stations across the state, increase railroad safety for workers and communities, prevent and respond to wildfires, and incentivize economic development and investment in Southern Colorado.

Tisha’s race is a must-win for defending and expanding the Colorado House’s Democratic majority, and the DLCC is supporting her campaign because she has what it takes to claim victory in this battleground district.

2026 is a historic opportunity to build Democratic power in Colorado and establish a supermajority in both chambers of the state legislature.

Colorado Democrats won a trifecta in 2018 when they flipped the state Senate blue and have since made impressive strides in improving the state’s quality of life, including legislation to expand access to affordable housing and health care, protect the environment, strengthen public education, and support working families.

This year, Democrats need to gain three seats in the Colorado House and just one in the Senate to establish a supermajority in each chamber. This would allow constitutional amendments to be placed on the ballot without Republican support – a huge step for democracy on issues such as voting rights and reproductive freedom.

The DLCC is all in to support candidates in the most competitive battleground districts in Colorado, candidates where national grassroots support could give them the edge they need to win tough races and expand Democratic power in Colorado.
