Colorado House of Representatives

Elections

Representative Gregg Rippy, a Republican, did not seek reelection to the Colorado House of Representatives and instead ran for a seat in the United States House of Representatives.[2] Curry ran for a seat in the state house from the 61st district with the Democratic nomination and defeated Republican nominee Becky Rippy and Libertarian nominee Dale F. Reed in the 2004 election.[3] She faced no opposition in the 2006 and 2008 elections.[4][5]

Curry left the Democratic Party on December 28, 2009, to become an independent stating that it would be misleading to voters to run as a member of the Democratic Party when she was not aligned with the party's ideology due to her fiscally conservative stances.[6][7] She submitted petitions to run as an independent for reelection in the 2010 election, but under Colorado law she had to run as a write-in candidate as she had been a member of a qualified party in the preceding year. Legislation by Curry to get rid of the restriction was passed, but did not take effect until 2011.[8][9] During the campaign her write-in candidacy was endorsed by The Denver Post.[10] Curry lost in the general election to Democratic nominee Roger Wilson, but placed ahead of Republican nominee Luke Korkowski.[11] She won a lawsuit in which the court ruled that write-in votes where the voter forgot to fill in the oval next to the write-in line would still count.[12]

She ran in the 2012 election as an independent and appeared on the ballot, but placed third out of five candidates and behind Democratic nominee Millie Hamner and Republican nominee Debra Irvine.[9][13] Had Curry won she would have been the first independent elected to the state house since 1900.[14]

Representative Marc Catlin, a Republican from the 58th district, was term-limited in the 2024 election. In June 2023, Curry returned to the Democratic Party and announced her campaign on August 16.[15] In the Democratic primary election held June 25, 2024, she ran unopposed.[16] In the general election held November 5, 2024, Republican opponent Larry Don Suckla defeated Curry, winning 54.59% of the vote to Curry's 45.41%.[17]

Tenure

Curry served as chair of the Agriculture committee in the state house. Speaker Terrance Carroll appointed Curry as Speaker Pro-tempore, the second highest ranking position in the state house, in an attempt to keep her in the Democratic Party.[18][19] During her tenure in the state house over 90% of her legislation was passed.[20] She lost her position as chair of the Agriculture committee and as Speaker Pro-tempore after leaving the Democratic Party with Representative Randy Fischer replacing her as chair and Representative Buffie McFadyen replacing her as Speaker Pro-tempore.[21]

Later life

Curry endorsed former Speaker Andrew Romanoff for the Democratic nomination for United States Senate during the 2020 election.[22]
