Sen. Michael Bennet has secured another term as Colorado's senior U.S. senator in Tuesday's midterm election. This is Bennet's third term, which makes him Colorado's longest-serving U.S. senator.

During his campaign, the Democrat said he would focus on water, immigration and health care.

Bennet was appointed to the seat in 2009 when then-Senator Ken Salazar became Secretary of the Interior.  

Bennet defeated Republican challenger Joe O'Dea.
