JeffCo voters in Lakewood’s House District 23 will have the chance to choose a new representative for an open seat for the first time in 14 years. Republicans haven’t held the seat since 2004 when Ramey Johnson lost a close race to Democrat Gwyn Green. Democrat Max Tyler, who replaced Green in a vacancy appointment in 2009, is term-limited.
