DENVER—Rep. Diana DeGette, a Denver Democrat, will become Colorado’s senior member of Congress after an easy victory over Republican George Lilly.
DeGette’s seat, which she has held since 1997, appeared safe in the state’s most urban district. Her own future not in doubt, DeGette spent the campaign season working for fellow Democrats, especially Rep. Mark Udall, who won an open Senate seat Tuesday.
DeGette is a fourth-generation Denverite whose district includes the entire city and some suburbs.
