Colorado Democrats elect Senator James Coleman as new Senate President amid a $1 billion deficit.

Colorado Democrats have elected Senator James Coleman as the new Senate President, succeeding Steve Fenberg. Coleman, a moderate, was unopposed for the position as Democrats maintain control of the Senate, which consists of 23 Democrats and 12 Republicans. Other leadership roles were filled by key Democrats, including Robert Rodriguez as Majority Leader. Despite this, the party faces a $1 billion budget deficit and must balance cuts with a mandated $350 million increase for law enforcement.
