Senate Democrats Elect Senator Cathy Kipp To Serve as President Pro Tempore

DENVER, CO –Senate Democrats today elected Senator Cathy Kipp, D-Fort Collins, to serve as President Pro Tempore. 

“I send a heartfelt congratulations to Senator Cathy Kipp for her election as Senate President Pro Tempore,” said Senate President Coleman, D-Denver. “In leadership, our role is to govern the chamber effectively and fairly, build relationships, and serve with good conscience and a strong moral compass. I’m supremely confident in the leadership of Senator Kipp and look forward to working closely together to deliver for the people of Colorado.”

“I’m honored to be selected by my colleagues in the Senate to serve as President Pro Tempore,” said Kipp. “In recent years, our caucus has passed legislation to improve the lives of Coloradans, and, this year, we continue our commitment to putting working families first. I look forward to serving the caucus in a new position to be an extra set of eyes and ears, fill in for the President when necessary, and ensure that everyone – legislators, staff, visitors, and constituents – is treated with dignity and respect.” 

The Pro Tempore position was left vacant by the resignation of Senator Dafna Michaelson Jenet, D-Commerce City. Senator Kipp will hold this position for the remainder of the 75th General Assembly.
