| Info | Fred Edwin Anderson
Fred Anderson, a native of Colorado, was born in Loveland on February 20, 1928, and lived close to his grandfather's farm. While attending Loveland High School, he was president of the senior class and the student body. He attended the University of Colorado, where he majored in economics and minored in political science. Anderson served in the United States Army from 1950 to 1952 and was stationed in Germany.
Anderson was first elected to the Senate of the Colorado General Assembly in 1966, representing Larimer County. During his first term in the Senate, he was Assistant Majority Leader from 1969 to 1970. In 1968, he was an unsuccessful candidate for the United States House of Representatives in the Fourth Congressional District.
In 1974, while Anderson was serving in the Senate, the Colorado Constitution, Article V, Section 10, was amended. The amendment removed the Lieutenant Governor as the presiding officer of the Senate and gave the Senate the ability to elect one of its own members as President. In 1975, Anderson was the first President of the Senate to be elected under the provision of this constitutional amendment.
In addition to his service in the Colorado legislature, Anderson held other prominent positions. He was on the board of directors of the Federation of Rocky Mountain States, and was a former president of the National Conference of State Legislatures. He also was a member of the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. Anderson passed away in Loveland on December 22, 2011.
