In their first meeting as a caucus, Colorado’s incoming Senate Democrats found themselves with a problem: The largest Senate committee room didn’t have enough space on the dais for all their members. Democrats in the state House of Representatives would face the same issue hours later Thursday. Instead of a predicted red wave lapping at the edges of Democrats’ control of Colorado’s government, last week’s election reinforced the party’s standing and positioned it to hold a “generational” majority, as Senate President Steve Fenberg termed it. “It’s pretty cool for Democrats that the biggest problem is that there’s not enough chairs in the biggest committee room in the building,” outgoing Speaker Alec Garnett said. But these new Democratic majorities arrive at a tenuous economic moment, with a tighter budget and familiar cost-of-living and affordability issues. Democratic officials have spent the last several months focusing on defending the gains made over the past decade.
