DENVER - Governor Polis released the following statement thanking Senator Dafna Michaelson Jenet for her legislative career and continued commitment to public service.
“Dafna has been an incredible leader for the Coloradans she represents, both in the State House and State Senate, and has championed the issues that matter most to her constituents. From leading the way on mental health - especially for youth - through the creation of iMatter, school-based mental health screenings, inpatient and residential behavioral health services, and more, to her advocacy for comprehensive reproductive health care, and support for healthy school meals for Colorado’s students to her leadership on education and work against antisemitism. She has been a champion for the Jewish community and she will continue that important work with the Merage Foundation. I look forward to working with her in her new capacity fighting anti-semitism. I wish her the best in this next chapter and know she will continue giving back to her community and her state,” said Governor Jared Polis.
