DENVER, CO - Colorado Senate Majority Leader Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, today announced Senate committee assignments for the 2023 General Assembly.

“As our 2023 legislative session approaches, I am excited to continue working to create a more just and resilient Colorado,” said President Steve Fenberg, D-Boulder. “Our committee leaders are energized and ready to bring momentum to the new year, and I am excited to watch them collaborate on the issues, move important policies through the legislative process, and deliver results for our state. The Senate Democrats are ready to hit the ground running, and I am eager to see all we will accomplish together as we continue fighting to move Colorado forward.”
