The Colorado state legislature gavels in for its 73rd General Assembly on Wednesday, January 12. Democrats will hold the majority once again in both the House and Senate, but as has been the case in each of those years, Republicans plan to make sure their voices are heard. Alec Garnett is the Speaker of the House, a Democrat from Denver. Hugh McKean is the House minority leader, a Republican from Loveland.
