Rochelle Galindo is an American politician who was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives in the 2018 Colorado House of Representatives election at the age of 28.[1] She represented the 50th House District as a member of the Democratic Party.
She is a lesbian and was one of the few members of the LGBT community serving in the House.[2]
Galindo resigned her State House seat on May 12, 2019 following sexual assault allegations made against her.[3] Ultimately, she was ticketed for supplying alcohol to one of her campaign workers who was under 21.[4] The police declined to press charges for the sexual assault allegations. Also, at a trial held in April 2021, a jury unanimously acquitted Galindo of the supplying alcohol to a minor charge.[5]
Following Galindo's yes vote on Colorado Senate Bill 19-181, a bill that would limit oil and gas production in the state, a committee was organized to recall her. She represented a district that lies in Weld County, one of the state's major petroleum and natural gas producing regions.[6]
