A spokesperson for the Senate Republican caucus said Sens. Rob Woodward of Loveland and Dennis Hisey of Fountain will also join the task force. House Republicans have not yet named their appointees.

Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez, D-Denver, will serve as vice chair of the task force, which will also feature Democratic Reps. Dafna Michaelson Jenet of Commerce City and Judy Amabile of Boulder, and Sens. Faith Winter of Westminster and Chris Kolker of Centennial. Republican Sens.
