CO has yet to have a female US Senator.
They could have asked former CO-4cd US Representative Betsy Markey to run.
Markey was elected to the US House of Representive from CO-4cd in 2008 by unseating controversial Republican incumbent Marilyn Musgrave. Markey lost re-election in 2010 to Gardner.
Markey ran for CO State Treasurer in 2014 against Republican incumbent Walker Stapleton-R losing that race by a less than 5 percent margin. 2014 was a Republican wave election year.
