DENVER — On Thursday, the newly elected members of the Colorado House of Representatives and Senate picked the lawmakers they want to serve in key leadership roles.
The Senate was the chamber Republicans were most hoping to recapture in the 2022 midterms. However, the election divided the chamber even more, giving larger numbers to Democrats. “The Democrats will need to pivot and come back to the persistent issues that we've been talking about all along,” Lundeen said.
However, voting for the new speaker and other positions was brought to an abrupt halt Thursday after the caucus could not agree on who to represent them and needed the final races in the 2022 election to be decided so that the final few members could vote. “The fact that it is not him today saddens me. We had a plan, and he was that plan. So now, we are picking up and going on from there,” said Rep. Mike Lynch, R-Larimer.
During Thursday’s caucus meeting, some of that tension was brought up when Rep. Stephanie Luck, R-Fremont, nominated herself for minority leader and apologized to members of the caucus publicly for phone calls, emails and text messages that were sent to them from some of her supporters.
