Senate District 9

Paul Lundeen stepped down to pursue other career interests.  Lynda Zamora Wilson filled the vacancy until Jan 12, 2027.  

There are two AMAZING republican candidates currently competing for the republican nomination in the primary in June 2026.  They are Terri Carver and Lynda Zamora Wilson--both great candidates.

 Terri Carver, former state representative 2017-2022 representing District 20.  

In 1994, Terri was a civilian lawyer for the Air Force Space Command.  Subsequent to that, Terri was a colonel in the Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG) for the USAF until 2014.   She was first elected in 2014.  In 2018 Terri won the Legislator of the Year Award from the Colorado Association of Realtors and in 2019, was presented with the Women of Excellence Award from the National Foundation for Women Legislators.  Terri supported legislation to mitigate human trafficking, bills to protect victims while prosecuting criminals.  Take a look at the Gazette article she wrote called "Sound of Freedom-A Call to Action."   Terri will be working to protect parental rights, minimize high crime, and work to make Colorado affordable for private citizens and businesses.  She is pro-life, pro 2nd amendment and supports election integrity.

Terri demonstrates a solid record of support for bills in support of Colorado conservative values and the contractual/legal experience to amend bills that do not.  Her website outlines the many awards and endorsements she has earned.  Terri is entering primary through caucus and petition, let me know if you would like to sign her petition.  Her website is:  https://www.terricarver.org
