RELEASE: Statement from Senate Democratic Caucus Leadership on the Passing of Senator Faith Winter

I am not often at a loss for words, dear friends and neighbors. But I am not often trying to write about the profound grief of losing a loved one in the middle of the night, either. All I have is this – for all of you who had the chance to meet Senator Faith Winter, to know her, I send you my heart, my fellowship, and deepest condolences.

At this time all we know is that a car accident claimed the life of Senator Winter on November 26th. I will echo the words of the Senate Democrats below and make it a personal request as well: 

We ask that the public respect the privacy of Senator Winter’s family and friends as they navigate this unimaginable loss. You are welcome to reach out to me directly – Sasha Davis, Chair of Broomfield County Democrats at chair@broomfielddems.org – with any questions, and we will of course share any updates about services that may come. 

If Thanksgiving is a holiday you celebrate, I wish you a peaceful one with those you love, and for those whom it is a regular Thursday, I hope you have time to connect with your loved ones as well. 

In sympathy, 

Sasha

Statement from Senate Democratic Caucus Leadership on the Passing of Senator Faith Winter

DENVER, CO – Senate President James Coleman, D-Denver, and Senate Majority Leader Robert Rodriguez, D-Denver, today released a statement on the passing of Senator Faith Winter, D-Broomfield:

“We are devastated to learn of the passing of our colleague and friend, Senator Faith Winter. Today, our caucus grieves the loss of a dedicated public servant whose commitment to the people of Colorado never wavered.

Senator Winter served our state with compassion and an unwavering belief in the power of public service to improve lives. Whether fighting for legislation to support mothers and families, championing groundbreaking transit policy, or simply supporting constituents in moments of need, she brought thoughtfulness, innovation, and humility to every aspect of her work.

Senator Winter was a colleague whose presence brought warmth and an invaluable perspective to the Capitol. We will miss her leadership, her partnership, and her deep commitment to a brighter Colorado.

Our hearts are with Senator Winter’s family and friends as they navigate this unimaginable loss. We ask that the public respect their privacy during this difficult time.”
