COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY LEGISLATOR DIRECTORY: To find it, go to leg.colorado.gov click the “Legislators” tab, pull down to “Legislators”, and you can search for the legislator by name.

To watch Senate and House proceedings live — remarks from legislators, before or after votes have occurred on the Colorado House and Senate floors:
Go to leg.colorado.gov and click the “Watch & Listen” tab at the top of the website home page. This portal will take you to the Colorado Channel on youtube. Once posted on the Colorado Channel on youtube, videos will be named by “Colorado House…” or “Colorado Senate…”, the year of session (“2023”, for example), and by the Legislative “day” within that session. Session usually lasts 120 days.
It’s a good idea to go ahead and subscribe (also click the notifications bell) to the Colorado Channel on youtube.
