A general election will be held in the U.S. state of Colorado on November 8, 2022. All of Colorado's executive officers are up for election, as well as all of Colorado's seats in the United States House of Representatives, and Colorado's U.S. Senate seat currently occupied by Michael Bennet.
In 2018, the Democrats swept every statewide office election, and won four of the seven U.S. House seats available. Jared Polis was elected governor by a double-digit margin. In 2016, Michael Bennet was reelected senator with 49.97% of the vote.

The creation of a new congressional district will create a new seat on the State Board of Education.
At-Large[]
During periods in which there are an even number of congressional districts (such as there will be for the 2022 election), the Colorado State Board of Education will feature an at-large member in order to retain an odd number of members and avoid ties. During the period in which there were six congressional districts, current governor Jared Polis most recently held this position.
CU Regent[]
At-Large[]
Heidi Ganahl will not be running for re-election, as she is running for governor. It is unclear whether this seat will continue to exist for the 2022 election cycle.[35]

- Scott Mangino. [36]
Declined[]
- John "Jack" Kroll, incumbent.[37]
Congressional District 4[]
Incumbent Sue Sharkey is term limited and ineligible to run for re-election.
Congressional District 8[]
The creation of a new Congressional district will also create a new seat on the Board of CU Regents. Because there must be nine members of the Board, one seat will have to be eliminated to make room for the new one, most likely the at-large seat currently held by Heidi Ganahl.[35]
