District 29 is based in northern and central Aurora, also covering several rural communities in eastern Arapahoe County including Bennett, Byers, and Strasburg.[4][5]
The district is located in between Colorado's 6th congressional district and 4th district; while much of the land is in the 4th, the bulk of the district's population resides in the 6th. It overlaps with the 36th, 42nd, and 56th districts of the Colorado House of Representatives.[6]
Colorado state senators are elected to staggered four-year terms; under normal circumstances, the 29th district holds elections in presidential years.
