Dafna Michaelson Jenet in House District 32. Michaelson Jenet was appointed to the state Senate last month, replacing departed Sen. Dominick Moreno.<\/p>\n<p>Rutinel previously had filed to run for the seat in November 2024 and will now serve a year in the House before that election.<\/p>\n<p>An alum of Yale and Johns Hopkins universities, Rutinel is a former environmental attorney who now runs a group called Climate Refarm, which advocates for addressing the climate crisis through changes to the food system.<\/p>\n<p>Rutinel is the sixth legislator selected by a vacancy committee this year. He joins a supermajority of Democrats in the Colorado House, who are flanked by a near-supermajority in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay up-to-date with Colorado Politics by signing up for our weekly newsletter, The Spot.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Share this:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/dfm-trust-indicators\/static\/images\/Trust-Logo-Horizontal.svg\" alt=\"The Trust Project Logo\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Policies<\/li>\n<li>Report an Error<\/li>\n<li>Contact Us<\/li>\n<li>Submit a News Tip<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>2023<span><\/span><\/li>\n<li>October<span><\/span><\/li>\n<li>3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Most Popular<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Kiszla: You better believe CU&#8217;s Shedeur Sanders is better quarterback than Heisman winner Caleb Williams<\/h3>\n<p>Kiszla: You better believe CU&#039;s Shedeur Sanders is better quarterback than Heisman winner Caleb Williams<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Kiszla: Broncos didn&#8217;t win game for Sean Payton, they averted another crisis of grumpy coach&#8217;s making.<\/h3>\n<p>Kiszla: Broncos didn&#039;t win game for Sean Payton, they averted another crisis of grumpy coach&#039;s making.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Parents of CU Boulder students hit by drunken driver say university has been slow to respond<\/h3>\n<p>Parents of CU Boulder students hit by drunken driver say university has been slow to respond<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Keeler: CU Buffs receiver Omarion Miller sealed place in Boulder lore with kiss from Michael Irvin and love from Michael Westbrook. &#8220;Y&#8217;all haven&#8217;t seen nothing yet.&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Keeler: CU Buffs receiver Omarion Miller sealed place in Boulder lore with kiss from Michael Irvin and love from Michael Westbrook. &quot;Y&#039;all haven&#039;t seen nothing yet.&quot;<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Lauren Boebert escorted out of &#8220;Beetlejuice&#8221; musical in Denver after &#8220;causing a disturbance&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Lauren Boebert escorted out of &quot;Beetlejuice&quot; musical in Denver after &quot;causing a disturbance&quot;<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Josh Kroenke on plans for Nuggets, Avalanche broadcasts amid ongoing Altitude\/Comcast dispute: &#8220;We&#8217;re looking at everything&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Josh Kroenke on plans for Nuggets, Avalanche broadcasts amid ongoing Altitude\/Comcast dispute: &quot;We&#039;re looking at everything&quot;<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Instances of drivers behaving badly in Colorado backcountry are on the rise, outdoor officials say<\/h3>\n<p>Instances of drivers behaving badly in Colorado backcountry are on the rise, outdoor officials say<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Colorado man is accused of killing bear and her two cubs, faces felony charges<\/h3>\n<p>Colorado man is accused of killing bear and her two cubs, faces felony charges<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Keeler: Denver hoops icon Chauncey Billups says only one team can keep Nuggets from repeating as NBA champs.
