Senate confirms CSU board appointments; finance committee reports other confirmations to consent calendar

The Colorado Senate confirmed two governor appointments to the Colorado State University (CSU) Board of Governors on April 9, 2025. John Fisher of Golden was reappointed and Andrew Worth of Manhattan, Montana, was appointed; the clerk announced confirmation by a recorded vote of 34 ayes, 0 no, 0 absent with one excused.

Majority Leader Rodriguez moved confirmation of the appointments listed on the governor's appointment consent calendar. The clerk announced the vote as 34–0 with one senator excused and those appointments were recorded as confirmed on the floor.

Earlier in the session the Senate Finance Committee reported that it had heard appointments and recommended placing certain nominations on the consent calendar for confirmation. The finance committee recommended the appointment of Jennifer Payne of Arvada to the Colorado Banking Board (term expiring July 1, 2025) to replace David Kelly of Littleton; the committee also reported appointments to the Colorado Racing Commission — John Hams of Holly and Jonathan Horowitz of Parker — each to serve terms beginning July 2, 2024 and expiring July 1, 2028. The committee recommended these appointments be placed on the consent calendar for confirmation.

The floor transcript records the finance committee's recommendation and the subsequent confirmation of the CSU board appointees; it does not record the final chamber confirmation vote explicitly for the banking board or racing commission nominees during this session excerpt, only the committee recommendation that they be placed on the consent calendar and confirmed.
