** This Week on the House Floor
------------------------------------------------------------
On Friday, I sponsored a memorial in honor of Former Representative Leo Lucero who passed away last September at the age of 91. Leo was a dedicated teacher, administrator, and State Representative who fought for southern Colorado. He will be truly missed. Read more about his life and legacy here ([link removed]) .
On Thursday, Rye from Centauri Middle School shadowed me for the day through the annual event hosted by the Colorado Association for Gifted and Talented. I truly enjoyed the opportunity to meet and converse with the next generation of leaders.
