Elections in Colorado |
---|
The 1914 United States Senate election in Colorado took place on November 3, 1914. It was the first direct U.S. Senate election in Colorado following the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment. Incumbent U.S. Senator Charles S. Thomas, a Democrat, who was first elected by the state legislature to fill a vacancy in 1913, ran for re-election to a full term.
Thomas faced a competitive general election with several major candidates, including physician Hubert Work, the Republican nominee; former state Attorney General Benjamin Griffith, the Progressive nominee; and Congressman George J. Kindel, who ran as an independent. Thomas narrowly won re-election, but with only a 40% plurality.
