A vacancy committee picked Colorado State Rep. Dafna Michaelson Jenet, D-District 32, to fill a vacancy left by former State Senator Dominick Moreno, who stepped down to join Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s administration.
"I think what's important to know is that when I start fighting, I don't stop,” said Michaelson Jenet."When it comes to issues of our education and our environment and our housing policy, I'm not going to stop because we have a lot of work to do." In Colorado, whenever a state legislative seat becomes vacant, it’s up to a vacancy committee of party insiders to pick a replacement.
Many of the lawmakers appointed through a vacancy committee end up running during the next election, and most end up winning.
