Electoral History
Wilson had previously sought the Republican nomination for Colorado's 9th Senate district in the 2022 Colorado Senate election, challenging incumbent Senator Paul Lundeen. Wilson decisively lost the primary election, securing 10,378 of the 30,849 total votes cast.[4] Wilson questioned the outcome of her primary loss to Lundeen[5][6] and fundraised over $20,000 to pay for a recount, which only reaffirmed her overwhelming defeat.[7][8]
In June 2025, Wilson was selected by a vacancy committee to represent the district after Lundeen resigned.[2]
