“I’m sorry.”
Rep. Mike Lynch of Wellington, the former minority leader of the state House, did not offer an apology to his colleagues or his constituents when he announced on Jan. 23 he would step down as minority leader. He had faced pressure from some Republicans to resign his post following his DUI arrest in 2022.
But, on Thursday, Lynch unequivocally made an apology.
“I’m sorry and embarrassed” to the core, Lynch told Colorado Politics. “As a body we fight to have a good impression and I’m very sorry I put a stain on that.”
