Colorado's upcoming session-Patrick Neville

Republican Patrick Neville is only serving his second term in office, but he recently rose to the highest position in his caucus —  house minority leader.

Neville’s selection comes as a surprise; Polly Lawrence, who has served in the legislature since 2012, was considered the favorite for the position. As the second installment in a week-long series previewing the upcoming session, capitol correspondent Bente Birkeland got Neville’s thoughts on his new role.
