The House’s temporary budget does nothing to meet the health care needs of the American people. If the House Bill comes before the Senate, I will vote NO. (1/2)
I was glad to meet with CO Springs’ civic and business leaders to discuss the path forward for our veterans, service members, businesses, and families. (2/2)
Colorado Springs is facing unprecedented challenges from the relocation of Space Command to the burdens of rising costs and uncertainty from President Trump’s trade war. (1/2)
Zebra mussels are a serious threat to our ecosystems and outdoor recreation economy, and I’m glad to have passed legislation to detect and stop the spread of this invasive species. Now that they have infested the Colorado River, we must use every tool available to eradicate these pests.
I've long backed the bipartisan extensions of AGOA and HOPE/HELP, crucial trade programs that bolster U.S. investments in sub-Saharan Africa and Haiti, respectively. Congress must act to renew them before they expire this month.
Colorado would not be the greatest state in the union without the deep roots of our Hispanic communities. During Hispanic Heritage Month, let’s continue to uplift Hispanic voices across the country and celebrate Hispanic communities’ contributions to our state’s history and culture.
When Crystal Lake was drained in 2024, the City of Ouray lost a critical water supply and pillar for the local economy. That’s why I am pushing to transfer ownership to the City so they can repair and refill the reservoir, ensuring the protection of this local treasure for future generations.
I introduced the bipartisan SHRED Act to reinvest ski fees from Colorado's iconic ski areas directly into the national forests that drive tourism, support local jobs, and power the economies of our mountain towns. As this bill moves through Congress, we must push to get it across the finish line.
The swift response by Jefferson County first responders – who arrived on the scene within 2 minutes and immediately neutralized the threat – undoubtedly saved lives. Thank you for your bravery and service. (2/2)
Susan and I are thinking of the entire Evergreen High School community in the wake of yesterday's tragic shooting. Our children deserve to grow up in a country free from the trauma and terror of senseless gun violence. (1/2)
On this solemn anniversary, we mourn those we lost, honor the first responders who bravely answered the call, and recognize the servicemembers who have defended our freedom following that dark day. (2/2)
Today, we remember the nearly 3000 innocent lives lost during the horrific 9/11 attacks 24 years ago and America’s indomitable spirit in the wake of unimaginable tragedy. (1/2)
I am horrified to hear of the shooting at Evergreen High School near Denver today. Thank you to our law enforcement officers for their swift response to this tragedy. I will continue to monitor the situation closely & think of Evergreen's teachers & students in the wake of this senseless violence.
I was glad to sit down with the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union to discuss the urgent need for greater investment in local food systems, a strong agricultural workforce, and sufficient USDA staffing to meet producers’ needs. (2/2)
At a time when families are already struggling to put food on the table due to rising prices, this is the last thing Colorado communities need. (2/2)
The closure of multiple Safeway stores across Colorado will be devastating for rural and low-income communities. Across the state, residents now have more limited grocery choices and fewer job opportunities. (1/2)
