Rate CO-07 for 2022

[Meatball Ron]

Agree w/ previous posters that it's on the border of Lean and Likely D, but it'll depend somewhat on whether Perlmutter runs here or in CO-08.

This is technically the "new" seat, with CO-08 looking more like Perlmutter's current district. But, CO-08 is also 30% Hispanic now and was designed partially to create opportunity for a Hispanic member from Colorado.

So the question is - does Perlmutter just opt for the easier seat (CO-08). Or does he selflessly decide to run in CO-07, which would both create opportunity for a new Hispanic member AND help out the Dems (b/c an incumbent is running in the more competitive district).

Big caveat is that I haven't been able to figure out which one he lives in...

He lives in the new CO-07, although very close to the CO-08 border where he could just as easily run in and not be an issue.

Oh wow...50 yards from the CO-08 border
