The sudden loss of Faith Winter has left Colorado reeling, not only because of her role in the Senate, but because of the human story behind the title. A mother, a fiancée, a colleague, she spent a decade building a reputation as a relentless advocate for safer roads, cleaner air, and working families—only to lose her life on the very kind of highway she fought to improve.
In the quiet after the sirens faded from I-25, what remains is the echo of unfinished work and the faces of those she leaves behind: her children, Tobin and Sienna, and her fiancé, Matt Gray. Her seat will be filled by a party committee, her bills will be carried by others, but her absence will be felt in every debate about transportation, justice, and the future of Colorado.
