In a year that looks pretty good for Democrats, Republicans will be hard-pressed to make a big dent in the Democrats' 15-seat majority in the state House of Representatives.

But that doesn't mean all is lost for the GOP. House District 40 looks virtually certain to return to the Republicans, one year after state Rep. Debbie Stafford turned rogue and delivered it into Democrats' hands.

There also appear to be a number of close races shaping up, the most interesting of these being House Districts 25, 27, 29, 30, 31, 37, and 56.

Other potentially interesting races include House Districts 17, 33, 39, 52, 55 and 57.

Colorado House Minority Leader Mike May (R-Parker) said Republicans are aiming to pick up one to four seats in the lower chamber this November.

Speaking with PolitickerCO.com on Tuesday, May said Republicans are looking at unseating five Democratic incumbents on Nov. 4: Bernie Buescher, Sara Gagliardi, Wes McKinley, Judy Solano and Christine Scanlan.
