Lawmakers continued to grapple with gathering during a deadly pandemic that killed more than 3,500 Coloradans last year.

In a press release sent out Tuesday afternoon, Wyoming Congresswoman and House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney announced she would vote to impeach President Trump. She is the first member of the GOP congressional leadership to do so.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic and new fears raised by last week’s deadly attack at the U.S. Capitol, this Wednesday’s kickoff will be short, and subdued.

Rep. Lauren Boebert, a newly elected congresswoman from Colorado, says she’ll carry a handgun on Capitol Hill.

As the crisis has dragged on, the governor and his administration have been defending themselves against a steady stream of lawsuits coming from churches, businesses and others questioning everything from mask mandates to capacity restrictions.

Gov. Jared Polis has made hundreds of decisions this year that have affected millions of Coloradans. He's the one deciding where we can eat, whether we have to wear masks and most recently, who is first in line to get the vaccine. Capitol Coverage reporter Scott Franz recently spoke with Polis about his coronavirus response.

Democrats say the plan is to still gavel in as scheduled on Jan. 13, but only to swear in new members before taking at least a month-long recess.

A top legal advisor to President Donald Trump testified Tuesday at a hearing called by Republican state lawmakers to look into any irregularities concerning Colorado’s mail-in voting system.

The nine members of Colorado's electoral college, like their counterparts across the country, met Monday at the state Capitol to cast their votes in the 2020 presidential election.

Lawmakers spent the week leading up to the special session trying to manage their constituents’ expectations for the state-funded stimulus.
