In Denver, Democrat Diana DeGette has held this congressional seat for three decades, and she's facing two challengers.
Maylock Quiroz is a 29-year-old first-time candidate and a Democratic Socialist.
We will see if they can continue their momentum after wins in New York primaries.
The other candidate is Wanda James, a University of Colorado regent.
The winner in this race is the overwhelming favorite in November.
This is a deep blue Denver district.
Yes, it is part of the campaign.

Yes, Evans doesn't have a Republican challenger, but two Democrats are vying to oppose him.
Former state lawmaker Shannon Byrd, she bills herself as a bridge builder in this purple district.
And current state lawmaker Manny Rudinell, he's leaning into his history as the child of an immigrant.
And in this heavily Latino district, says Byrd hasn't done enough to oppose ICE.
What are you hearing?
We heard dissatisfaction with Washington.
Caleb Mazner is 27.
He works in construction.
He voted for President Trump twice, but doesn't support the direction of the country and how expensive things are.
Another voter, John Iannone, is from Colorado's Eastern Plains.
He's a data center engineer and farmer and an unaffiliated voter.
He said he reluctantly voted for Trump in the last election, but is not happy with how his second term is going.
