Abstract: This report was written by participants in Metropolitan State University of Denver’s Applied Political Research Lab in the Department of Political Science. It is published by the Golda Meir Center for Political Leadership. The goal of the report is to provide objective analyses of the processes related to, and impacts of, gender and racial diversification in Colorado’s 2018 state legislative elections and the 2019 state legislative session. The research was conducted during the spring of 2020, and the focus on the 2019 legislative session avoids the unique nature of the 2020 session. The findings shed light on the role of diversification, the potential impact of redistricting, and the degree to which female legislators and legislators of color are represented and influence policymaking in what was the most diverse legislative setting in Colorado’s history
