LITTLETON, Colo.—Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman has been re-elected in the newly competitive 6th Congressional District seat in Denver’s south suburbs.
Coffman defeated Democratic state lawmaker Joe Miklosi on Tuesday in a district made more competitive by redistricting. Republicans have held the seat since it was created after the 1980 census.
Coffman overcame some early obstacles, including controversy over remarks he made questioning whether President Barack Obama was born in the U.S. He also faced criticism from Democrats for his previous support for a “personhood” measure to ban abortions in all cases.
