Colorado state lawmakers passed a resolution out of committee Thursday to rename a portion of an interstate to the “Barack Obama Barack Hussein ObamaMichelle Obama and Jennifer Lopez exchange Ginsburg memories Pence defends Trump's 'obligation' to nominate new Supreme Court justice The militia menace MORE Highway,” The Denver Post reported.

Democratic state Rep. Dan Pabon introduced the resolution to honor the former president. It passed out of the state House Transportation and Energy Committee by a 12-1 vote.

“It’s a historic stretch of highway near Mile High Stadium where he accepted the Democratic nomination and went on to become president,” Pabon said, according to the Post.

The measure will be voted on by the Democratic-held state House but would have to pass through the GOP-controlled Senate.

Only GOP Rep. Kimmi Lewis voted against the resolution in committee.

“Nothing personal. As a person on the land and a rancher, he did everything there was to hurt me,” Lewis told the Post. “Therefore, I just didn’t think it was a good idea.”

“I sit here and I listen to them bash Donald Trump. He’s our new president, so, you know, I just wasn’t in favor,” she added.
