The Democrats of Colorado House District 29 welcome you to our website. We’re proud to call Westminster home. The district includes the northern part of Westminster. The southern part of the city is in House District 35.
We meet the last Thursday of the month on Zoom and we love to meet other Westminster residents who support Democratic issues, whether you’re a Democrat or Unaffiliated voter. Sometimes we meet in person, too. Send us an email and we’ll let you know how to join us! We also have a Facebook page and private group.
This year there are municipal and school board elections. They are non-partisan, so we don’t endorse candidates. Click this link to see the city’s web page that lists all ballot questions and candidates running in Westminster’s election.

Rep. Shannon Bird, is currently vice-chair of Colorado’s Joint Budget Committee and Appropriations, one of the most influential reps. in the state house. She often holds meetings, open to all, around the district, discussing issues at the capitol and listening to voters.
The district is split between Adams and Jefferson County. In Jefferson County, Brittany Pettersen, former chair of Colorado’s House Education Committee, represents House District 7 in Congress. In the state house she passed the nation’s strongest Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, which is still a focus in the U.S. House.
Lindsay Daugherty (District 19 in JeffCo) and Faith Winter (District 25, Adams County) represent the district in the Colorado Senate.
