Colorado 6th Congressional District 2026: Jason Crow vs Jason Clark, and the Sliver of Douglas County That Votes in It

Most Douglas County voters will never see this race. The county's 2024 official results show 3,620 ballots cast in the 6th Congressional District contest and 244,433 in the 4th. If your ballot's U.S. House line reads "Representative to the 120th United States Congress - District 6," you are one of the few, and this page is yours. If it reads District 4, you want the Boebert vs Laubacher page instead.

Which Douglas County votes here

The redistricting commission's district sheet lists the 6th's counties as Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson, and its largest communities as Aurora, Centennial, Littleton, Ken Caryl and Englewood. None of those is in Douglas County. The same sheet lists state Senate District 27 and House District 61 among the legislative districts the 6th overlaps, and both appear on Douglas County ballots this year. We have not confirmed which specific neighborhoods fall inside the line, so we will stick to what the numbers prove.

The numbers say the slice is small. The Secretary of State's 2024 abstract counts 4,221 registered Douglas County voters in the district, 3,620 of whom voted, an 85.76 percent turnout. That is about 1.5 percent of the 248,174 ballots the county cast. Anyone in the district also votes for the CU Regent seat labeled Congressional District 6, which is a second tell on the ballot.

The county's own numbers

In 2024, Crow beat Republican John Fabbricatore 202,686 to 132,174 districtwide, 59.0 to 38.5 percent. In Douglas County's piece of the district the result was 1,776 to 1,639, or 51.20 to 47.25 percent, with 33 votes for Travis Nicks and 20 for John Kittleson. So the county slice voted for Crow, but by four points instead of twenty. In 2022 Crow won districtwide 60.6 to 37.4 over Steve Monahan.

The district is drawn to be safe. Ballotpedia puts its Cook Partisan Voter Index at D+11 and reports Kamala Harris carried it 58.5 to 38.7 in 2024. Registration when the map was adopted was 31.1 percent Democratic, 21.8 percent Republican and 45.3 percent unaffiliated.

Jason Crow, Democrat

Crow was born in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1979, served in the Army from 2002 to 2006, and earned a law degree from the University of Denver in 2009, per Ballotpedia. He took office in January 2019 and sits on the Armed Services and Intelligence committees. The state's directory lists his home as Aurora. He drew 94,207 votes in an uncontested June 30 primary.

His campaign site frames the race in one line: "make life more affordable, protect health care, and take on corruption." He says his first bill was the End Dark Money Act and repeats a pledge "not to take a dime of corporate PAC money, just like I promised in 2018." On health care he supports "a public option" and leads the Freedom from Price Gouging Act on drug prices. On housing he says "1 in 4 families in Colorado's 6th District that rent spend more than 50% of their income on rent." On veterans he cites work to bring the VA hospital to Aurora. His money, per the FEC: $3,177,447 raised and $2,707,899 on hand as of June 30.

Jason Clark, Republican

Clark's site is one page. It says he was "raised in a Colorado working-class family," attended Sagebrush Elementary, Laredo Middle School and Smoky Hill High School, graduated from West Point in 1992, and "has been an entrepreneur and small business owner for 30 plus years in Aurora, Colorado." His slogan is "Back to Basics." He drew 38,437 votes in an uncontested June 30 primary after two other Republicans withdrew or were disqualified, per Ballotpedia.

He lists three issues. Affordability: "The cost of rent, education, and healthcare has become unsustainable for too many Coloradans." Jobs: "Embrace Entrepreneurs Embrace Small Business Embrace Developers." Crime: "Go after the criminals" and "Clean up Colfax Avenue." His FEC committee, Jason Clark US Congress, shows no financial totals for the 2026 cycle through June 30.

"Make your mark, vote for Clark!"

That is the whole pitch, and it is aimed at Aurora. Neither Clark's page nor Crow's home and issues pages mention Douglas County.

What this means in Douglas County

Nothing either candidate says touches this county by name. What a Douglas County voter in the 6th gets is a choice between a four-term incumbent with a detailed platform and $2.7 million, and a challenger with three bullet points and no reported money. The county's slice was one of the two closest parts of Crow's 2024 map, and he carried it anyway; only Jefferson County's piece was tighter, 18,494 to 18,258, per the state abstract.
