Colorado US Rep. Coffman is fighting for his political lifeDENVER (AP) — Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman has kept a firm grip on his Colorado seat for a decade, even as his suburban Denver district shifted steadily leftward. About 20 percent of the residents in Coffman's 6th Congressional District, which covers Denver's eastern and southern suburbs, were born in another country. But Democrats' relentless depictions of Coffman as a Trump supporter — or an ineffective curb on the president — have dragged down Coffman, said Kyle Saunders, a political science professor at Colorado State University. In the other House races:— Incumbent Democrat Diana DeGette faces Republican Charles Casper Stockham in the Denver-based 1st District. — Incumbent Republican Doug Lamborn faces Democrat Stephany Rose Spaulding in the 5th District, dominated by Colorado Springs.
