DEADLINES e situation put a spotlight on several of the Senate’s more moderate members, like Democrat Dylan Roberts. Roberts, who was the key no vote on the rent control bill, was a swing vote on three di erent committees.

SERVICE DIRECTORY: THURSDAY, 5 P.M.

LEGALS: THURSDAY, 3 P.M.

“I reminded bill sponsors who were frustrated at my position that I didn’t make the committee assignments,” said Roberts. “I didn’t make the makeup of the committees. I was assigned to those committees, and I’m just doing my job. I got sent here by my district, not by a political party and not by a political philosophy.”

Roberts lives in Avon and represents a mountain district where Democrats hold a less than seven point advantage, according to redistricting maps. He said he scrutinizes every piece of legislation.

“ e goal is collaboration and trying to make bills better. But there were several policies where I just couldn’t get there.”

Republican lawmakers said they were more than happy the Senate acted as a moderating force.

“We haven’t killed that many bills,” said GOP Sen. Perry Will in the nal weeks of session, “But some of the bills that need to go away, it went away. I think it’s great and I think it’s much needed.”

On the House side, where committees were much more steeply tilted in Democrats’ favor, Republicans said they were grateful that the Senate at times blocked policies they lacked the power to stop.

“ ere were Democrats that destroyed bills that would not be good for Colorado. It’s a teamwork e ort here,” said Republican Rep. Ron Weinberg who passed many bipartisan bills this session.

Senate Minority Leader Paul Lundeen said even though the GOP is at a disadvantage he thinks they are “still punching above our weight to kill bad policy ideas. We are actually trying to hold the ideals of freedom for individuals to live the lives they want to live and the way they want to live them.” e narrow committee splits didn’t just result in more moderate Senators voting down progressive bills; in many cases, they were able to get concessions and amendments in exchange for their support.

For progressives, the Senate results were a source of frustration throughout the session. ey argue that Democrats’ surprising success last November — the party picked up legislative seats in a year many analysts expected them to lose some — show that they have a mandate to make big moves.

“Voters are wanting something bigger and bolder. And we tried and that’s not what’s happening,” said Democratic Representative Lorena Garcia who is in her rst year at the Capitol. Garcia believes voters elected Democrats to do more this year on housing and criminal justice, in particular. But several key bills on those topics were defeated.

However, Moreno defended the committee makeup as a good re ection of the Senate’s general views. He notes that even when progressive bills did get to the Senate oor, they still didn’t have the votes to pass.

For instance, a bill to make it harder for landlords to evict people on month to month leases lingered on the calendar and ultimately ran out of time, in part because it lacked the support to move forward. e Senate also gutted a bill that would have prevented prosecutions of 10 to 12-yearolds, except in homicide cases. And when a proposal to allow local communities to set up supervised sites for safe drug use came up in a Senate committee, three Democrats joined Republicans in voting it down.

All of the policies managed to pass the House before hitting roadblocks in the Senate.

And it wasn’t always progressive policies that struggled in the Senate. e governor’s Land Use bill, which was sponsored by Moreno, also died in that chamber. e Senate watered down the bill signi cantly, setting up a showdown with the House, which passed a more robust version. In the end, the bill was dropped in the nal hours of session for lack of Senate votes.

“Yes, we have a historic majority,” said Moreno. “It doesn’t mean that we have a super majority of progressive members. It means that everyone votes their own conscience in their own district.”

Senate defenders also note that some progressive bills didn’t even gain traction in the House. A proposed statewide assault weapons ban failed in its rst committee after three Democrats joined Republicans to defeat it. e House also handily rejected a measure to mandate more predictable schedules for restaurant and retail workers.

Progressive Democrats say they plan to try again with many of these ideas next session.

And as for Alex Nelson, the teacher who started us looking into this issue — he said he’s glad to learn more about how the legislature works, and is optimistic some of the housing proposals he supports will see more success down the road.

“I tried to remind myself that these things take time and that the rst go isn’t always gonna be the one that gets you exactly what you want,” he said, is story is from Colorado Public Radio, a nonpro t news source. Used by permission. For more, and to support Colorado Public Radio, visit cpr.org.
