Which entities make up the executive branch in Colorado?

The executive branch in Colorado is primarily composed of the Governor and the elected executive officers. The Governor serves as the head of the executive branch and is responsible for enforcing state laws, administering state government programs, and overseeing the various departments that make up the executive framework. Alongside the Governor, there are several key elected executive officers, including the Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, and Attorney General. These officials have specific duties and powers that contribute to the overall function of the executive branch in managing state affairs.

The other choices do not accurately represent the structure of the executive branch. The Supreme Court justices belong to the judicial branch, which is separate from the executive branch. Similarly, the State Legislature, comprising the State Senate and House of Representatives, is part of the legislative branch, which is responsible for making laws, not for executing them.
