Freshman state Rep. Carlos Barron, R-Fort Lupton, has been selected as the House Minority Whip, the Republican caucus announced Monday.
“I’m honored to serve as Caucus Whip and thankful for the trust of my colleagues,” said Barron. “Together, we’ll work to protect our rights, strengthen our economy, and stand up for Colorado families.”
Barron will replace Rep. Ryan Armagost, R-Berthoud, who announced last month that he would be resigning from the legislature in September.
Barron, who also serves on Fort Lupton’s City Council, was elected to the General Assembly in 2024. He has worked in the oil and gas industry for over two decades.
