With just over 15 months to go for the 2026 general election, and 11 months from the primary, races are starting to shape up for the General Assembly.

The hottest so far: Senate District 3 in Pueblo, where incumbent Senate Majority Whip Nick Hinrichsen, a Democrat, announced in June he is not running for reelection.

Since his announcement, three Democrats have declared their intention to seek the seat.

• Attorney Aaron Gutierrez, a former public defender, announced he was running on June 30.

• United Steelworkers Local 3267 President Charles Perko announced on June 27.

• Taylor Voss, director of philanthropy at Sangre de Cristo Community Care, announced Tuesday he’s seeking the SD3 seat.

One Republican, Dana Charles, a healthcare manager, has also filed for the SD 3 race.
