Minority leader names Harvey to business committee
By Robyn Lydick
State Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, will be the ranking Republican on the Senate business affairs, labor and technology committee.
Sen. Josh Penry, R-Grand Junction, named Harvey to the seat.
“Sen. Harvey’s leadership will be vital for ensuring that Colorado’s business environment is nurtured and developed, especially in these grim economic times,” Penry said.
Harvey, who started his political career working under President Ronald Reagan, has been called the conservative conscience of the Colorado legislature by State Rep. Mike May, R-Parker.
He’s conservative in business, too.
Harvey works as a mortgage broker when the Legislature is out of session.
He was named legislator of the year by the Independent Bankers Association of Colorado and Colorado Mortgage Lenders’ Association.
Harvey holds a master’s degree in environmental policy and law. He supports additional drilling and the development of nuclear power in Colorado.
He also sponsored a bill to force state contractors to verify the legal status of their employees, above the federal I-9 form.
He is a proponent of small business and is steadfastly anti-union, campaigning for Amendment 47, which would have made Colorado a right-to-work state.
Colorado has a 60-year history of avoiding being right-to-work or closed shop.
Harvey is also on the Agriculture, Natural Resources, & Energy and appropriations committee.
