Statement from Newly Elected Minority Leader Pugliese

(Colorado State Capitol, January 25, 2024) -- Today, The House Minority Caucus elected Rep. Rose Pugliese (R - Colorado Springs) as the new House Minority Leader. Minority Leader Pugliese released the following statement about her election:

"I am humbled and honored by the support of our caucus and ready to lead the fight against the continued failed Democratic policies that have increased the price of groceries, allowed property taxes to rise dramatically and have made our state unaffordable for so many families across Colorado. Republicans stand united in our desire to chart a different path in our state and we are working hard on policies that deliver on our commitment to make Colorado more affordable, safer, and ensure parental rights and educational choice are priorities.

I want to thank Rep. Mike Lynch for all of his hard work and leadership of House Republicans. He has served this country since the day he entered West Point and I am grateful for his leadership fighting to make our state and country a safer and more prosperous nation.”
