The top leadership in the Colorado House of Representatives is a matriarchy. The top three positions — speaker, majority leader and assistant majority leader — are all held by women.The situation is reversed in the Senate. The top three positions — president of the Senate, majority leader and assistant majority leader — are all held by men.But the men do not rule everything in the Senate. Further down the chain of command, women serve as the majority whip and the majority caucus chair.Similar to the House, the Senate is organized on a political party (partisan) basis.
