DENVER - Mark Udall cemented Democrats' hold on Colorado's congressional delegation Tuesday night with a convincing win over Republican Bob Schaffer in the U.S. Senate race.
Although less than a third of precincts were reporting, Udall was leading Schaffer by double-digits when he took the stage at 8:30 p.m. at a downtown Denver hotel.
"Can you feel the winds of change blowing here?" Udall said, flanked by his wife, Maggie Fox, and college-aged children, Jed and Tess.
In La Plata County with all 30 precincts reporting, Udall claimed 57.6 percent of the vote and Shaffer took 39.5 percent.
