As Colorado works hard to protect our LGBTQ+ community, the Supreme Court’s decision on conversion therapy is extremely disappointing. The facts are simple: Conversion therapy is harmful and no Coloradan should be forced to change who they are.

This week, I introduced a bipartisan bill to demand accountability on stalled U.S. arms sales to Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines.
These delays undermine our decades-long commitment to Indo-Pacific security.
My bill will clearly identify what the Pentagon must do to close this gap.
I will not back down until we get accountability and an overhaul of leadership and operations at DHS.
Read my full statement ⬇️
For over a month, Democrats fought to pay TSA, FEMA & Coast Guard workers. Republicans blocked every attempt — until airports descended into chaos.
This deal doesn't go far enough, but it ensures federal workers get paid and airports stay open — without any funds for ICE or CBP.
With this week's unanimous vote by the House Ways and Means Committee, we are one step closer to ensuring all educators, especially those who teach our youngest children, can deduct these school supply costs.
As a former school superintendent, I saw firsthand how educators spend their own money to give kids what they need to succeed in the classroom. That's why I introduced the bipartisan SEED Act to help early childhood educators cover the cost of supplies, books, and other classroom materials.
It's long past time Congress demand accountability from these tech giants and pass legislation to protect our kids online.
This week, a jury confirmed what Colorado parents already know — Meta and Alphabet should be held accountable for deliberately designing platforms to addict children and exploit their attention for profit.
Everywhere I go in Colorado, parents tell me that social media is harming their kids' mental health.
We’re all going to have to do our part to get through this, and to become more resilient in the face of climate change.
I appreciate Colorado water utilities who are taking proactive steps to manage our water supplies in the face of unprecedented high temperatures and record low snowpack this spring. I’d encourage Coloradans to make sure you’re up to speed on the latest guidance from your local utility.
Working families in Colorado didn’t ask for this war, and they can’t afford it.
President Trump's unauthorized war with Iran has spiked oil prices – forcing Coloradans to choose between a full tank and groceries for their families.
Since Trump launched his war, Colorado gas prices are up nearly 35%, outpacing the national average and the biggest hike in 25 years.
I am glad to have contributed to the bipartisan effort to secure his release, and look forward to welcoming Dennis back to Colorado.
I'm grateful that Dennis Coyle will be coming home after the Taliban wrongfully detained him for more than a year in Afghanistan.
Dennis is a native of Pueblo, Colorado who dedicated over 20 years of his life to improving the lives of the Afghan people.
I have no faith that any Trump-appointed nominee, including Senator Mullin, will have the independence and vision they need to make the necessary changes to protect our rights, follow the rule of law, and respect human dignity.
For these reasons, I voted no on his nomination.
I have been steadfast in my belief that President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security has made our communities less safe, left states to suffer alone in the wake of natural disasters, and completely disregarded the rule of law.
Federal workers deserve their paychecks. Travelers deserve functioning airports. Americans should not be pawns in the President’s political games.
Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard 7 times. Republicans have blocked these attempts at every turn.
President Trump is holding critical safety agencies hostage to push through a voter suppression bill and shield a lawless ICE operation from accountability.
On the fifth anniversary of the horrific King Soopers shooting in Boulder, we remember the 10 Coloradans who lost their lives to this senseless act of gun violence.
We keep their families in our thoughts and recommit to fighting for the gun safety reforms they deserve.
