The election was necessitated by the departure of former Senate Majority Leader Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, who resigned his seat to serve as Deputy Chief of Staff for Strategy in Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s administration.
The Senate elected Senator Robert Rodriguez, D-Denver, to serve as Majority Leader, and Senator Faith Winter, D-Broomfield, to serve as Assistant Majority Leader.
“I am honored and humbled by the faith and trust the caucus has placed in me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve our state in this new position where I look forward to helping our caucus reach its full potential and delivering big wins for our state,” said Majority Leader Rodriguez. “Colorado is counting on us, and I am looking forward to delivering real results this session that position our state well for the future and build a stronger, safer, and healthier Colorado for us all.”
The updated Senate leadership team includes:
President Steve Fenberg D-Boulder
President Pro Tempore James Coleman, D-Denver
Majority Leader Robert Rodriguez, D-Denver
Assistant Majority Leader Faith Winter, D-Broomfield
Majority Whip Julie Gonzales, D-Denver
Majority Caucus Chair Janet Buckner, D-Aurora
JBC Member Rachel Zenzinger, D-Arvada
JBC Member Jeff Bridges, D-Greenwood Village
“Serving the people of Colorado is the honor of my life, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to continue serving them in this new capacity,” said Assistant Majority Leader Winter. “We work best when we work as a team, and I am excited to help lead our caucus forward and take on the hard work so we can improve the lives of families all across Colorado and keep our state on the right track for generations to come.”
“I am pleased to offer my congratulations to our new Senate Majority Leader, Robert Rodriguez, and our new Assistant Majority Leader, Faith Winter,” said President Fenberg.
“The Colorado Senate Democrats stand ready to continue tackling the challenges that matter most to Coloradans like making housing more affordable, creating safer and more resilient communities, and better preparing our students for success. Democrats have delivered on the issues that matter most to Coloradans, and our new leadership team is well-equipped to build on the progress we’ve made together and continue creating lasting results for the people of Colorado.”
