Penfield Tate is experienced in Public Finance and Municipal Law - as someone who has worked in government and is an adviser to government.
He has wide-ranging experience representing public entities, lenders and underwriters engaged in the process of financing essential public improvements, and advising local and state governments in the exercise of their administrative responsibilities.
In government, Pen has served in both the Colorado Senate and House of Representatives. He has served as executive director of the Department of Administration for former Governor Roy Romer, as well as on both the State of Colorado Banking Board and the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority. As an aide to former Denver Mayor Federico Peña, Pen represented the mayor's office on issues involving airport finance, business and economic development, and housing development.
In 2003, Pen waged a campaign to become mayor of Denver. When John Hickenlooper won the election, he asked Pen to serve as co-chairman of his transition team. The mayor also appointed him co-chair of the Denver Police Reform Commission and, in 2005, as one of five commissioners serving six-year terms on the Denver Water Board.
Pen is known throughout Colorado - as a lawyer and as a public figure. He is often called upon to speak before groups on issues of public interest; he is also tapped as a regular commentator by the local print and electronic news media. |
