Last night the vacancy committee for House District 23 selected Max Tyler to replace Rep. Gwyn Green.

Rep. Green announced at the end of the Colorado General Assembly session that she would retire. Rep. Green has been a champion of children and those Coloradans in need of health care.

"Max Tyler has been active in the Jefferson County Democratic Party for a number of years and has worked closely with Rep. Green. He will do a fine job of carrying on her legacy," said Pat Waak, Chair, Colorado Democratic Party.
