Senator For The Colorado 15th Senate District
In January 2009, Lundberg was elected by vacancy committee to serve the remainder of State Senator Steve Johnson’s term, which was vacated when Senator Johnson became a county commissioner for Larimer County. The vacancy committee elected Lundberg over his opponent Mike Lynch by a margin of 86 to 42.
In the 2009 session, Senator Lundberg successfully sponsored a measure to require proper signage to warn motorists that traffic control cameras are in use at intersections, and a measure that allows school districts to use discretion in determining punishment for students in incidents of look-alike weapons on school grounds. The latter measure was prompted by an incident in which a student was suspended for having a practice drill team rifle in her vehicle on school grounds.
Senator Lundberg currently serves on the Judiciary Committee, and the Health and Human Services Committee.
On November 2, 2010, Lundberg won a full 4-year term of his own with 59.58 percent of the vote.
