Today Sen. Fitz-Gerald announced that she was resigning from her seat in the Colorado General Assembly. The Party will begin the process of filling the vacancy left by her early retirement.

Sen. Fitz-Gerald took this action so that she could dedicate herself full-time to her race for the Congressional District 2 seat being vacated by Rep. Mark Udall. Although she is not the only Democrat in that race, her attention to the district is important.

I remain neutral in all contested races. However, I did want to acknowledge the fine work Sen. Fitz-Gerald has done as a member of the Colorado Senate. She has been committed to improving the lives of all Coloradans. And her leadership extended to a national role as head of the DLCC.

We will miss her outspoken leadership for the state, but she is a loyal Colorado Democrat and has a road to journey down. Thank you for your service, Joan.
