From the Opening Day remarks of Colorado State Senate Minority Leader Mike Feeley, January 7, 1998
There is another gentleman from Colorado that many of you have heard of, maybe some of you haven’t. His name is Billy Adams. He was from Alamosa. Billy Adams was first elected to public office as county commissioner in Conejos County in 1882. Four years later he was elected as a representative from Alamosa, after one term in the House he was elected to the State Senate where he served, in this chamber, for 38 years. Billy Adams was a Democrat and almost all of his long tenure he served as a member of the minority party.
