Q&A with Sen. Julie Gonzales | Democratic whip on legislating for marginalized communities

Jul 18

This session, Gonzales is majority whip of the Senate, co-chair of the Colorado Democratic Latino Caucus and treasurer of the Board of Latino Legislative Leaders. She is also chair of the Judiciary Committee and Committee on Legal Services (one of only three senators to chair multiple committees), a member of two other committees, and prime sponsor of 17 bills so far — the eighth most of any senator.

Just over a month into the 2023 legislative session, Gonzales sat down with Colorado Politics to discuss her goals for the year ahead and how she seeks to legislate for the marginalized.
