Colorado Senate Democrats on Friday elected Sen. James Coleman of Denver to lead the chamber, replacing outgoing President Steve Fenberg, who leaves office in January.
Coleman, who has been serving as Senate president pro tempore, ran unopposed for the position.
“We’re a family,” Coleman told his caucus before he was elected by acclimation. “We will show the country why Colorado is special and continues to be a model.”
