"Colorado House Minority Leader Mike Lynch Survives No-Confidence Vote After DUI Arrest"

Colorado House Minority Leader Mike Lynch narrowly survived a no-confidence vote to remove him as the leader of the Republican caucus following the revelation of his 2022 DUI arrest. The vote was split 9-9, with one lawmaker absent, and Lynch voting to keep his post. His leadership position remains in peril, exacerbating existing divisions in the House Republican caucus, which is split between more conservative and moderate members. Lynch's arrest, which became public last week, has led to calls for his resignation and has tarnished the reputation of the caucus.
