Redistricting

During the redistricting process, Republicans argued for minimal changes to the existing map while Democrats pushed for more competitive districts. After a committee of ten members of the Colorado General Assembly failed to draw a map, in November 2011 Judge Robert Hyatt ruled in favor of Democrats' proposals.[3] In December 2011, the Colorado Supreme Court affirmed Hyatt's ruling.[4]

Democrat John Salazar, who represented the district from 2005 until 2011, said in December 2010 that he was considering seeking a rematch against Republican Scott Tipton, to whom he lost his seat in 2010. He commented "We're thinking that we might run again in two years, but who knows? I'm keeping all options open. We've been offered a possibility of serving at many other places, or there's a great possibility of going back to the ranch and raising cattle."[23] In January 2011, Governor John Hickenlooper appointed Salazar to serve as Colorado Agriculture Commissioner.[24]

On May 19, 2011, Democratic state representative Sal Pace said he was "likely to put a campaign together", having met with U.S. House minority whip Steny Hoyer.[25] On May 31, Pace declared his intention to challenge Tipton.[26] Hoyer also suggested the name of Perry Haney, a surgeon, as a potential candidate;[25] however Haney later formed an exploratory committee to run in the 6th district[27] but withdrew from the race in February 2012.[28]
