Republican state Sen. Randy Baumgardner, in Democrats' crosshairs because of sexual harassment

Republican state Sen. Randy Baumgardner, in Democrats’ crosshairs because of sexual harassment, leaves legislature


Republican state Sen. Randy Baumgardner, in the crosshairs of Democrats because of sexual harassment allegations, on Monday evening said he will step down from the Colorado legislature.

The lawmaker from Hot Sulphur Springs had not been placed on any committees by his party’s leadership in the Senate for the upcoming legislative session.

In a letter announcing his decision, Baumgardner said he was retiring effective Jan. 21. There are still two years left in his term.

The news was first broken by CBS4.

“It has been the honor of my life to serve the residents of both House District 57 and Senate District 8 over the last 10 years,” Baumgardner said in a letter making his decision formal. “I am humbled by the support I have received in my elections and even more so by those that have been positively affected by legislation I have worked on.”
