The newly-minted House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, released the names and assignments of Democratic committee leaders Wednesday morning. The Democrats didn’t have anyone in House leadership for the last two years while the Republicans held the majority, and so this is a new experience for many of them, especially newly-elected officials.

The leadership team includes Colorado Springs Democrat Pete Lee, who will be vice chair of the House Judiciary Committee. Lee, an attorney, said in a statement, “I am passionate about the law and justice, and I look forward to addressing issues of criminal and civil justice and administration of the courts.”

Here’s the list:

Agriculture: Reps. Randy Fischer (D-Fort Collins) and Ed Vigil (D-Fort Garland)

Appropriations: Reps. Claire Levy (D-Boulder) and Crisanta Duran (D-Denver)

Business, Labor & Economic & Workforce Development: Rep. Angela Williams (D-Denver) and Rep.-elect Tracy Kraft-Tharp (D-Arvada)
