A Voice Silenced: Colorado Mourns a Tragic Loss 

The state of Colorado is profoundly shaken and draped in collective sorrow following the news of the tragic loss of Senator Faith Winter. She was more than just a politician; she was a vibrant force—a friend, mother, community leader, and mentor—whose life was abruptly and violently extinguished in a multi-vehicle car crash on I-25. The shock of losing a dedicated public servant, aged just 45, in such a sudden manner is a stark and painful reminder of the fragility of life, leaving a deep void both in the State Capitol and in the heart of her family.

A Legacy of Love: Mother, Leader, and Mentor

Senator Faith Winter’s impact reached far beyond the legislative chambers. Her political work was rooted in her deep compassion, championing landmark policies for women, families, and environmental reform. Yet, for those closest to her, her truest roles were those she held at home and in her community. She leaves behind many who loved her and are so grateful to have known her and felt her warmth and love. This outpouring of grief from colleagues, friends, and constituents underscores the profound human connection she fostered. Her warmth, her courage in standing for what was right, and her unwavering advocacy will be her enduring legacy.

Carrying the Light: Support for Faith Winter’s Family

In this period of unimaginable grief, the hearts of all Coloradans go out to her two children, her fiancé, and her entire family. Governor Jared Polis has ordered flags to half-staff to honor the woman who was a fierce advocate for hardworking Coloradans. The best tribute we can offer is to hold her family close, ensuring that her children feel the strength of the community their mother dedicated her life to serving. We will miss her leadership, her partnership, and her deep commitment to a brighter future.
