"Colorado Senator Faith Winter Enters Treatment for Substance Abuse, Steps Down from Committee"

Faith Winter, the No. 3 Democrat in the Colorado Senate, is seeking treatment for alcoholism after appearing intoxicated at a community hearing. Colleagues have expressed concerns about her drinking, and she has stepped down from her role as chair of the Senate Transportation and Energy Committee to focus on her health. Winter, who has been a state lawmaker since 2015, is under the care of medical professionals and receiving treatment for her substance abuse disorder. It's unclear how her treatment will affect her ability to participate in the remaining legislative session.
