State Sen. Faith Winter speaks during a session in which she was chosen as the Colorado Senate Democrats’ assistant majority leader at the State Capitol in Denver on Sept. 8, 2023.
Before the vote, Gonzales said it was up to the committee to decide what was acceptable conduct by a legislator and that holding office is an honor.The committee recommended that Senate leadership issue a letter to Winter addressing her conduct at the Northglenn meeting and her substance use. She should be invited to address the full Senate when the chamber reconvenes in January, the members said.
She did not immediately return a request for comment as the hearing concluded. In a letter to the committee last month, Winter apologized again and acknowledged that she had a drink before the Northglenn meeting. The committee eschewed harsher recommendations, such as Winter being formally censured by the Senate or expelled from the chamber entirely. Only one legislator has been expelled in the past century: Rep. Steve Lebsockto address concerns about a planned mental health facility in Northglenn that potentially would house some sex offenders.
