Rep. Diana DeGette Wins 10th Term In U.S. House
DENVER (AP) — Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette, Colorado's longest-serving member of Congress, has won a 10th term.
DeGette easily defeated Republican challenger Martin Walsh on Tuesday.
DeGette was the clear favorite in the overwhelmingly Democratic 1st Congressional District, which includes the entire city of Denver.
The district also includes the suburbs of Glendale, Englewood, Sheridan and Cherry Hills Village. It has the highest percentage of registered Democrats of any Colorado district at about 45 percent.
DeGette was first elected in 1996, succeeding Democratic Rep. Patricia Schroeder.
