The State Senate on March 9, 2026 confirmed a broad slate of governor appointments on the consent calendar, including appointees to the Building Decarbonization Enterprise (BDE) board of directors, the Colorado Water Conservation Board and members of the Groundwater Commission.
The clerk read names and positions for multiple appointees, including Grant Nelson (Castle Pines) and Aaron Martinez (Englewood) to the building decarbonization board, Cameron Miller (Frisco) and Mark Mike Tru (Fort Collins) among others to various seats, and appointees to water boards and the Groundwater Commission with terms listed in the clerk’s reading. Majority Leader Julia Rodriguez moved approval of the consent-calendar appointments.
Senator Sullivan spoke during floor consideration to note that the Building Decarbonization Enterprise is commonly referred to by its initials (BDE) and to endorse the nominees, saying she had reviewed the roster and was "confident that there will never be a problem of them getting qualified people into this board of directors" and therefore supported confirmation.
The clerk announced the confirmation vote as 34 yeas, 0 nays and 1 excused; the slate on the governor’s appointments consent calendar was confirmed.

- Building Decarbonization Enterprise board of directors: Grant Nelson (Castle Pines), Cameron Miller (Frisco), Mike Tru (Fort Collins), Aaron Martinez (Englewood), Voytech Greka (Denver), Crystal Schubert (Denver). Terms and seat descriptions were read on the floor.
