On its opening day, Colorado legislature previews big fights to come
Family, friends and former colleagues joined Colorado’s new and returning lawmakers as they convened at the state capitol on Wednesday for the start of the annual legislative session.
People were in a celebratory mood, but the day still reflected some deep partisan strains, as lawmakers get ready to work on thorny topics with tight budget constraints and under a new Trump administration.
Democrats still hold a wide majority in both chambers but lost their super majority in the House when Republicans picked up three seats. And in a legislative first, six House Republicans voted against the Colorado Secretary of State’s certification of their own election.

‘God’s Backyard’ seen as affordable housing solution in proposed Colorado bill
Mountain View United Church has owned two acres of undeveloped land since its founding. The Aurora church held on to the open space in case it required a new, larger sanctuary for a growing congregation, but that need never came. Instead, the empty parcel became little more than dirt and weeds in the neighborhood — there was space for outdoor worship under a group of trees and Denver Urban Gardens created a small plot in one corner, but that was about it.
Then, in 2018, leadership had a bold idea. Why not use the land for affordable housing?
“The land is a gift from God, and we’re called to use that gift for the common good. This is how we, as a very small congregation, can impact the beloved community and share love. This was a beautiful opportunity to help transform our neighborhood,” said Rev. Dr. Tracy Hughes, the church’s lead minister.

"Unprecedented" and "Dangerous": Colorado Lawmakers Kick Off 2025 Fighting Over Election Results
What is usually a formality turned into a heated partisan debate on the opening day of Colorado's 2025 legislative session, setting the stage for tumultuous months ahead.
For the first time in recent memory, state legislators did not unanimously certify the results of the November election that brought them to the Colorado Capitol. Six Republican representatives voted against the certification on Wednesday, January 8, arguing that the election results are untrustworthy because the Secretary of State's Office inadvertently leaked voting equipment passwords on its website last year.
