On the 2025 civics test, some answers depend on your state. For Colorado, that includes the governor, the state capital, one current senator, and your U.S. representative.

01

Start with fixed answers

Lock in the state capital and the governor before adding names that can change.

02

Choose one senator

USCIS asks for one senator, so pick the name you can say most confidently out loud.

03

Confirm your district

Finish with your House representative because that answer depends on your current address.

Common questions

FAQ

These are the follow-up questions applicants usually ask when they start reviewing state-specific answers.

Who is the governor of Colorado now for the citizenship test?

For the 2025 civics test, the current governor answer for Colorado is Jared Polis. This is one of the answers applicants should re-check close to interview day because governors can change after elections, resignations, or appointments.

What is the capital of Colorado for the civics test?

For the 2025 civics test, the capital of Colorado is Denver. Capitals are stable facts, but they still matter because USCIS may ask the question exactly as "What is the capital of your state?"

Who is one of Colorado's U.S. senators now?

For the 2025 civics test, one correct senator answer is Michael F. Bennet or John W. Hickenlooper. Either name works because USCIS asks for one senator, not both, but it helps to know both names for review.

How do I find my U.S. representative in Colorado?

For the 2025 civics test, your House answer depends on your address, not just your state. Colorado currently has 8 congressional districts, so use a ZIP code or address lookup when available, or choose your district in the fallback tool on this page.
