The 4th District had been in Republican control since 1973 and was long regarded as a secure Republican district. Yet, Democrats considered that Musgrave was at risk. The incumbent who had served three terms had not been able to establish solid foundation within the district, due partly because of her Democratic opponents criticized her for her stance upon social problems (such like The Federal Marriage Amendment) and her perceived poor services to her constituents. After getting the vacant 4th District seat fairly easily in 2002, Musgrave barely held on in 2004 and 2006.

Betsy Markey was born in Cresskill, New Jersey, as the sixth child in a family of seven. Markey went to college in the University of Florida from 1974 until 1978. Her final semester was spent abroad in a university in Poznan, Poland. After graduating with an academic degree in political sciences, Markey worked for a brief period as an assistant to U.S. Senator John A. Durkin (D-NH).

Another factor that made Democrats hopeful of defeating Musgrave was the district’s demographics. The 4th is a large and mostly rural district. While the rural counties are some of the most Republican counties in Colorado, the district’s politics are dominated by two counties–Larimer and Weld—home to Fort Collins and Greeley, respectively. These two counties have only a third of the district’s land, but cast 85 percent of its vote. In the past two elections, Musgrave had only been able to stay in office by running up the votes in Weld County.
