Walked Out, Bullied for 120 Days
Without a Seat at the Table
From the desk of Colorado House Republicans.
(Colorado State Capitol, May 8th, 2023) – Minority Leader Mike Lynch (R-Wellington) issued the following statement in response to House Democrats invoking Rule 16 and cutting off all discussion on SB23-303, Reduce Property Taxes And Voter Approved Revenue Change.
“For 120 days, our minority caucus came to the House Chamber with the intention of collaborating despite not having a seat at the table and being told to wait outside while real decisions were being made inside. Invoking rarely – if ever – used rules doesn’t just silence us, it takes away the opportunity for the people we represent to hear what we have to say.
By walking out in protest, we sent a message to the Majority, who are mostly Metro area Democrats, that our state includes much more than the concrete and steel parts of Colorado. Our voices – that fill the Front Range and the Western Slope — deserve to have their votes counted these last 120 days.
Today, we send a message across Colorado that their voices, their children’s voices, will be heard for as long as we represent them here at the People’s House.”

Colorado JBS Plant toured by State Legislators
I toured the JBS plant last Friday, August 18. The group picture is JBS staff , Holtorf and 3 other legislators. Reps Gabe Evans, Ryan Armagost, and State Senator Byron Pelton. The cattle industry is vital to our rural Colorado economy and the JBS processing plant employs thousands of good people and processes 5000 head of cattle a day.
Proposition HH | Bad for Colorado Tax Payers
Proposition HH is bad for Colorado tax payers. It will not fix the problem of higher property taxes. It taxes local control and transfers it to the state. More big socialist style government thanks to Jarod Polis and your big government Democrats.
Happy Forth of July
