The Centenntial State is expected to grow to 8 districts in 2020, at least by current estimates. In 2010, Colorado Democrats spectacularly resisted the red wave, with Gov. Hickenlooper and Senate Democrats holding on, but sadly still lost the state House of Representatives, meaning it went to the courts. The state courts picked the Democratic map, but we drew a tame map in order to secure that very outcome.
Hopefully we can gain the trifecta in 2020 and can draw a map of our own choosing, maybe something similar to what I've drawn here.
