Stephens will lead House
Republicans
THE GAZETTE
November 10, 2007 - 12:09AM
State Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument, was elected
unanimously Friday to serve as caucus chairwoman for the House
Republicans, a position in which she will be in charge of
keeping party members focused on the goals of their leaders.
Stephens, a freshman, takes over the caucus
position that was vacated Wednesday by Rep. Bill Cadman, a
Colorado Springs Republican who is preparing to resign his House
seat after receiving an appointment to a vacant Senate seat.
“She has been a powerful advocate for our
conservative causes,” Rep. Frank Mc-Nulty, R-Highlands Ranch,
said of Stephens. “Her talents are much needed by our caucus.”
The election came one day after Stephens and
fellow freshman Rep. Bob Gardner, R Colorado Springs, were named
the 2007 Greater Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce
legislators of the year.

Stephens awarded "Common Sense in
the Courtroom" award
DENVER - Rep Amy Stephens of Monument has been awarded the
Colorado Civil Justice League's 2007 "Common Sense in the
Courtroom" award, that group said today. The award is given to
legislators who have supported civil justice reforms at the
state capitol and voted consistently to limit the unnecessary
spread of liability.
"We're pleased to present Representative Stephens with this
award in recognition of a commitment to curbing abusive
litigation in this year's legislative session. Legislators like
Representative Stephens are vital in the fight for civil justice
reform," said CCJL executive director Jeff Weist.
This year, the General Assembly confronted significant issues
affecting civil liability, including: protecting employers'
rights to communicate with their employees, strengthening
landowners' defenses against liability claims, and funding new
judges to handle the state's increasing caseload.
Amy's voting record on these and other important liability
issues earned the Senator the CCJL's recognition.
About the Colorado Civil Justice League (CCJL) - The League
is a state-wide coalition dedicated exclusively to ending
abusive lawsuits and creating a fair civil justice system in
Colorado. A fair justice system protects those who create jobs,
innovate new technologies and provide needed goods and services
from being tied up in expensive and groundless litigation.
Formed in 2000, its membership is open to individuals,
businesses of all sizes, government entities, associations and
non-profits. On the web at:
