Special Update – 2025 General Assembly House Committee Assignments

Just days after it became clear that House Democrats had lost their supermajority in the Colorado House of Representatives AND House Speaker Julie McCluskie announced she has appointed Representative Andy Boesenecker as Speaker Pro Tempore, we are receiving the first information about the committee assignments for the First Regular Session of the 75th Colorado General Assembly, which is set to begin on January 8, 2025.

As a reminder, three state senators announced they will be resigning at the start of the 2025 legislative session. Democratic Senators Janet Buckner and Chris Hansen, along with Republican Senator Kevin Van Winkle, are leaving three open seats in the Colorado Senate. Vacancy committees will decide who fills those spots in the coming weeks. The 2025-26 legislative session is expected to begin with at least 20 lawmakers who entered the General Assembly through the vacancy process. With current or incoming House members likely competing for Senate seats, this could lead to additional vacancies and changes in both chambers. I will share the 2025 General Assembly Senate Committee Assignments when they become available.
