How many federal elected officials does Colorado have?
Colorado, like all other states, has two US Senators. These seats are elected on a statewide basis and serve 6-year terms. Their terms are staggered so in any given general election Coloradans will be voting for one, the other, or neither.
Colorado also has seven US Representatives (usually generically called Congressmembers). These members are elected by district and serve 2-year terms. Therefore they are up for election in November of every even-numbered year.
