To many, this year's legislative session in Colorado served as a much welcomed departure from the chaos of last year, and the looming elections likely played a role in shaping the dynamics at the state Capitol.
Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, D-Arvada, who completed her final term as a legislator and is running for Jefferson County Commission, said the election has influenced everything from the way lawmakers acted, the bills they introduced, and the messages they sent to their constituents this session.
Notably, Zenzinger pointed out the marked rise in cooperation between parties, something she said was hard to come by last session.
