Majority Leader Rodriguez Announces Updated Senate Committee Assignments
DENVER, CO – Senate Majority Leader Robert Rodriguez, D-Denver, today announced updated Senate committee assignments for the upcoming 2024 legislative session. The updates were necessitated by the departure of former Senate Majority Leader Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, and the subsequent changes to Senate membership and leadership that followed.
“Our caucus members have been hard at work over the interim preparing to tackle the challenges that matter most to our communities and build on the progress we made last year,” Rodriguez said. “I am excited for our members to dive into the issues, have informed and thoughtful deliberations, and create lasting results for the people of Colorado."
