Colorado Senator Faith Winter Dies in Tragic Crash

Colorado has been profoundly shaken by the tragic death of State Sen. Faith Winter, who lost her life in a multi-vehicle accident on Interstate 25 in Arapahoe County. The news of her passing was confirmed late Wednesday evening by Gov. Jared Polis and Colorado Senate Democrats, casting a pall over the state.

Senator Winter, a resident of Broomfield, was a devoted public servant, approximately three months into what would have been her 12th and final year as a state lawmaker due to term limits. Colleagues and friends remembered her as a fierce advocate for hardworking Coloradans, women, families, and the environment.

Her loss has been met with deep sorrow from across the political spectrum. Gov. Polis and Senate Democrats issued statements mourning her death, highlighting her commitment to improving the lives of Coloradans and her significant contributions to legislation on various critical issues, including transit and support for mothers and families. She is survived by her two children.
