DENVER — The House has removed two Democrats — including a Denver legislator who previously clashed with leaders and recently disrupted proceedings when she joined a pro-Palestinian protest inside the chamber — from an influential committee.
House Speaker Julie McCluskie removed Rep. Elisabeth Epps, D-Denver, and Rep. Bob Marshall, D-Highlands Ranch, from the House Judiciary Committee. She also made other committee changes.
“Committees are critical to the legislative process and where so much of our work gets done," McCluskie said. "With session just around the corner, these committee assignments lay the groundwork to continue doing the work Coloradans elected us to do."
The speaker added: "Each lawmaker and the committees they serve on play an important role in crafting critical legislation that will uplift hardworking families, invest in public education, protect our water and air for future generations, and make Colorado a more affordable place to live and thrive.”
