Just hours before Coloradans were set to carve the Thanksgiving turkey, the state’s radical Democrat machine suffered a tragic blow.
State Senator Faith Winter (D-Broomfield), a key architect of the state’s extreme Green New Deal policies and anti-car “transit” legislation, was killed in a multi-vehicle crash on I-25 Wednesday night.
The wreck occurred just before 6 p.m. in the northbound lanes of I-25 south of Denver.
Authorities say the accident involved five vehicles; three others were injured, but Winter was the only fatality, according to CPR News.
Winter’s identity as the fatality was confirmed by her family late Wednesday night.
“It’s with the deepest sadness that the family of Senator Faith Winter confirms she passed away this evening,” according to her family.
“Faith was tremendous leader of our state, a committed friend, a dedicated partner and a loving mother. Faith led with empathy and love before all else. The family appreciates the outpouring of love for Faith and asks for privacy at this time.”
Leaders of the Colorado Senate Democratic Caucus also issued the following statement:
“We are devastated to learn of the passing of our colleague and friend, Senator Faith Winter. Today, our caucus grieves the loss of a dedicated public servant whose commitment to the people of Colorado never wavered.
Senator Winter served our state with compassion and an unwavering belief in the power of public service to improve lives. Whether fighting for legislation to support mothers and families, championing groundbreaking transit policy, or simply supporting constituents in moments of need, she brought thoughtfulness, innovation, and humility to every aspect of her work.
Senator Winter was a colleague whose presence brought warmth and an invaluable perspective to the Capitol. We will miss her leadership, her partnership, and her deep commitment to a brighter Colorado.
Our hearts are with Senator Winter’s family and friends as they navigate this unimaginable loss. We ask that the public respect their privacy during this difficult time.”
Winter was known for her history of personal struggles, having faced a 2024 ethics investigation after an incident where she appeared intoxicated at a community hearing and later sought treatment for alcoholism.
