How Colorado's U.S. House Delegation Voted On Impeachment

Colorado’s congressional delegation was split in the historic vote Wednesday on the first article of impeachment against President Donald J. Trump.

The House voted mainly among party lines to impeach the president. The vote count was 230 to 197 to impeach the president for abuse of power, and 229 to 198 on the obstruction of justice charge.

Here’s how the Colorado delegation voted:

Diana DGette, District 1, Democrat: YES

Joe Neguse, District 2, Democrat: YES

Scott Tiptop, District 3, Republican: NO

Ken Buck, District 4, Republican: NO

Doug Lamborn, District 5, Republican: NO

Jason Crow, District 6, Democrat: YES

Ed Perlmutter, District 7, Democrat: YES

Last week, a bitterly divided House Judiciary Committee approved two articles of impeachment accusing President Donald Trump of abusing the power of his office and obstructing Congress.

The action came after a parade of witnesses corroborated a whistleblower’s complaint that Trump held up congressionally approved military aid to Ukraine in exchange for an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, a contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, and his son Hunter. The investigation never occurred, and the aid eventually was released.

The Senate is set to hold a trial on the articles of impeachment beginning in January.
