Incoming state House Speaker Alec Garnett watches as GOP state Rep. Dave Williams speaks during the Colorado General Assembly’s opening day of its 2021 session, Tuesday, Jan. 13.
Republicans are in the minority in Colorado s legislature, but the opening day of the 2021 session showed they plan to put up a fight objecting to everything from Democrats choice to lead the House, to the rules governing the chambers, all of which transformed what are normally mostly procedural actions into an hours-long debate.
Typically the minority party either votes for the majority’s choice for Speaker of the House or does not object. Republicans’ doomed-to-fail effort to nominate their own leader instead was even more surprising because Democrats hold a 41-24 majority and incoming Speaker Rep. Alec Garnett is mild-mannered, generally well-liked and on friendly terms with many Republicans.
