Member of the ColoradoHouseofRepresentatives
from the 36th district
In office
January 7, 2009 [1]  –January 11, 2017

In June, 2016, Gov. John Hickenlooper appointed Ryden as Public Trustee for Arapahoe County. Colorado's Public Trustee system is unique among the 50 states and dates back to the Silver Crisis of the 1890s. At that time, Colorado was in a deep depression and record numbers of miners, merchants and homeowners were losing their property to foreclosure. The State Legislature decided to take the process out of the courts and put it in the hands of Public Trustees who were pledged to provide a relatively inexpensive process that ensured fairness for everyone concerned.

In 2019, the Legislature passed HB19-1295, which mandates that the currently appointed Public Trustee positions will be eliminated in July 2020, and the County Treasurers will assume the Public Trustee duties.
