Andrew Romanoff
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Romanoff is a Democratic politician and the current Speaker of the House in the Colorado General Assembly.
Mr. Romanoff has been in the Colorado House since 2000 and has been reelected twice. He is the first Democrat to hold the Speaker's post since 1975. Before becoming Speaker he was the minority leader of the State House. He currently represents House District 6 in the Colorado Assembly. When the legislature is not in session, he teaches at the Community College of Aurora. Romanoff was considered by many to be a possible Democratic candidate for Governor of Colorado in 2006, but announced in late 2005 that that he would not seek the Democratic nomination for Governor.
Romanoff writes a column in the Cherry Creek News. He is an avid tennis player and has attended the University of Denver Law School and attended graduate school at Harvard's Kennedy School of government. He is the youngest Speaker of the House in Colorado history.
He is widely credited as the author of Referendum C, a major fiscal initiative approved by Colorado voters in 2005.
Romanoff has a Democratic mother and a Republican father, a twin sister, and a border collie named Zorro.
