GRAND JUNCTION, COLO. (KJCT) - Until now the race for Colorado's District 54 House seat has been dominated by Republican candidates.
But a Democrat is now in the running.
Claudette Konola knows it could be a tough fight for a Democrat here on the Western Slope.
"I'm fighting a really tough race," she says.
Konola says she has the time and energy it'll take to make a difference for this community.
She says in her mind, the biggest issues facing the western slope are jobs, education, and clean accessible water.
On the other side, three republicans are vying for the GOP nomination.
David Cox, Bob Hislop and Ray Scott are all in the running for the spot.
Konola says one of her biggest challenges will be trying to compete with the campaign fundraising of the republican party.
Final nominations for each party will take place in August.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Democratic candidate officially announces she will run for House District 54.
Claudette Konola announced Saturday morning at La Bomba Mexican Restaurant on Main Street, that she would run for the House District 54 seat.
There was concern she wouldn't be able to raise funds in a highly Republican community, but she's way ahead of everyone.
"I'm collecting donations online through Act Blue, which is an organization that collects money for democratic candidates. So I'm trying to reach outside of the community to bring in the dollars that it will take to mount and run an effective campaign," says Konola.
