Incumbent Democrat Brittany Pettersen seeks re-election in Colorado’s 7th district against Republican Timothy Bennett, with the general election set for November 3, 2026. The district’s D+8 partisan lean, Pettersen’s 55.3% win in 2024, and strong fundraising advantage have produced trader consensus favoring a Democratic margin in the low-to-mid 20s. Primaries concluded in June without notable upsets, and forecasters rate the seat solid or safe Democratic. Bennett’s limited resources and the absence of major recent polling shifts or national headwinds have kept probabilities stable, with a Republican victory priced below 2%. Upcoming campaign events or late-cycle national developments could still adjust the final margin within the resolution window.
