Alex Valdez represents Colorado’s House District 5, which encompasses the urban core of Denver. He was elected in 2018 to succeed former House Speaker Crisanta Duran. Alex Valdez was born and raised in the Denver Metro area. After the recession hit, he founded a solar business with a grassroots campaign out of a co-working space in the River North Art District (RiNo). Today, his dedication and hard work have helped that company flourish into one of Colorado’s largest solar companies.
As the Co-Chair of the Latino Caucus, Representative Valdez works with his colleagues on issues that matter most to his Latino constituents in HD5. Latino people have a long proud history in Colorado and in the legislature, and Alex is proud to carry this history forward by advocating for Latino people statewide.
