Elections
2012
Looper is running for re-election in the 2012 election for the Colorado House of Representatives, District 19. Redistricting has pitted her against current 20th district incumbent Amy Stephens in the Republican primary on June 26, 2012. This has caused some tension in the Statehouse as Looper co-sponsored a bill repealing the act that established the Colorado Health Care Benefits Exchange, which Stephens sponsored in 2011; Stephens labeled this move as "political posturing," while Looper sought to associate the Exchange program with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act -- commonly known simply as 'the health care law' or, more pejoratively, 'Obamacare'.[3] The general election takes place on November 6, 2012.[4]
