The University of Colorado Board of Regents will have at least one new face after Tuesday night’s election.

In the other two districts on the board, which mirror the state’s congressional districts, incumbents are seeking reelection to another six-year term.

Colorado’s 2nd Congressional District is up for grabs after Democrat Callie Rennison announced last year she won’t run for reelection. Colorado’s 6th and 7th district races feature Democratic Party incumbents.

Democrats currently have a 5-4 majority control of the board, which creates policy and makes funding decisions that govern CU Boulder, CU Denver, CU Colorado Springs, and the state’s medical campus CU Anschutz.
