When she was a brand-new legislator besieged by lobbyists at the entrance to the Senate floor, state Sen. Rachel Zenzinger felt a tap on the shoulder from a man telling her she was late for her next committee. She rushed to the elevator, and the man accompanied her all the way to the committee room, securing several minutes of one-on-one time to make the case for his client’s bill.
When Zenzinger pushed open the door to the committee hearing room, there was no one else there. The meeting wasn’t even close to starting.
Now that Zenzinger serves as chair of the Senate Education Committee, education lobbyists don’t have to use creative tactics to get her attention. She meets weekly with key players ranging from the Colorado Education Association to Democrats for Education Reform to go over upcoming bills and hear their concerns.

With the recent death of Ma Khia Bryant, and us being black women, and her being so close in age with us, it really did hit home, said 17-year-old Ashira Campbell who is co-leading the sit-in with two others. People are dying every day by the people that are supposed to protect and serve. We are putting emphasis on that, we are tired of it. We are 16, 17, 18 years old, we are seniors in high school and the fact that we are dealing with his right now is really weighing on our mental health.
Last week, Campbell helped lead one of two protests to stand with Daunte Wright, who was shot by police earlier this April.
