Manny Rutinel, in spite of being vulnerable to accusations of seat shopping and being anti-meat consumption while running in Colorado’s biggest cattle processing county, rode the U.S. and Colorado Democratic wave to a landslide 42,000 vote victory.

Propelled by the national anti-Trump sentiment. Rutinel secured the biggest victory either parties’ candidate has won in the newly created district designed as a closely balanced competitive district in 2021. Until this election, the district only moved by 2,500 votes.
