Elections
2012
Miklosi is running in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing Colorado's 6th District. He is running unopposed in the June 26, 2012, Democratic primary.
Effects of redistricting
According to the Washington Post, redistricting has transformed the 6th district from a safe seat into a swing district. While the 6th formerly went safely for Republican Mike Coffman, the newly drawn district will be a battleground for Republicans and Democrats fighting for control of the House.[2]
2010
Miklosi ran for re-election to the 9th District seat in 2010. He had no opposition in the August 10 primary. Miklosi defeated Robert J. Lane (R) in the November 2 general election.
