Colorado House of Representatives
The Colorado House of Representatives is the lower house of the Colorado General Assembly, the state legislature of the U.S. state of Colorado. The House is composed of 65 members from an equal number of constituent districts, with each district having roughly 80 thousand people. Representatives are elected to two-year terms, and are limited to four consecutive terms in office, but can run again after a four-year respite.
The Colorado House of Representatives convenes at the State Capitol in Denver.
The House have 11 current committees of reference:
The first women who served in the Colorado House of Representatives were Clara Cressingham, Carrie Holly and Frances Klock. All three were elected to serve in 1895-1896. Carrie Holly introduced and passed a Bill that raised the age of consent for girls from 16 to 18 and another that gave mothers the same rights to their children as fathers.
A total of 10 women served in the period up to 1904, the last of them being Alice Ruble, after which the party leaders declared that 'no woman will ever again be elected to the (Colorado) legislature'
Their prediction proved wrong, as demonstrated by the list of subsequent women members of the House.
