This seems like a pretty interesting indicator of the value of the “Democrat” label in Colorado: “State Rep. Kathleen Curry, D-Gunnison, announced on Tuesday that she is no longer a Democrat, after having been elected to her District 61 seat three times as a member of that party. Curry, 49, has served in the Colorado General Assembly since 2005, and is up for her fourth and final election next year. If she wins — and she currently has no opponent — her fourth two-year term will be her last due to state-imposed term limits.”
