In late 2016, a vacancy committee appointed Catlin to serve as State Representative after his District 58 predecessor, Don Coram, resigned to fill a vacant seat in the Colorado State Senate. Catlin was sworn in as state representative in early January 2017.[2]
On February 26, 2020, a Denver Post reporter relayed that Catlin, in the fourth hour of the Colorado House's final debate on whether to end the state's death penalty, warned that abolishing the DP could be followed by abolishing life sentences, which he calls a "tradition" in the US. "Are we going to simply say we'll strip this tradition away?"(https://twitter.com/alex_burness/status/1232758347830583299)</ref>
