House holds in‑chamber auction and recognizes staff lifesaving actions

Representative Johnson and colleagues organized an in‑chamber fundraising auction to benefit nonpartisan staff. Members donated items from their districts and local vendors; Representative Johnson reminded colleagues the prior year's benchmark of about $2,000 and encouraged higher bids. Notable sales included a Los Animas County beef package that reached a $2,000 sale and a US flag flown over the Capitol that raised several hundred dollars.
