From taking constituent calls to helping with legislative priorities, I can safely say my offices would not function without our interns. I was glad to meet with our incredible Denver summer interns this week and thank them for their hard work on behalf of Colorado.
The Trump administration's decision to rescind guidance requiring schools to accommodate English learners is a blatant attempt to make education less accessible. This administration's continued attacks on English learners fly in the face of our country's values.
Thank you to all who showed up last night to make their voices heard. Visiting with Coloradans has always been my favorite part of my job. I look forward to taking these conversations with me as I continue to fight for our state. (2/2)
Last night in Steamboat Springs with Rep. Joe Neguse, I held my 13th town hall in 2025. Since March, I have met with over 5,200 constituents in-person. (1/2)
It was great to speak at the annual Colorado Water Congress Summer Conference alongside my Colorado Congressional colleagues. As climate change continues to intensify the Western water crisis, I will keep fighting to protect the water Coloradans rely on for the generations to come.
Colorado, join me for an in-person town hall in Aurora with @crow.house.gov this Thursday, August 21st at 7:00 PM MT. The best part of my job is hearing from Coloradans about how to make our state stronger. If you can't join us in person, the event will be livestreamed.
Looking forward to taking your questions at my next town hall with @bennet.senate.gov in Aurora! Join us on Thursday: crow.house.gov/news/events
REMINDER: My town hall in Steamboat Springs with Rep. Joe Neguse starts at 3:00 PM MT today. I look forward to speaking with Coloradans about the issues they care about most. If you didn't register to attend in-person, you can tune in via the livestream on my Facebook page. ⬇️
Clear-eyed, tough-nosed diplomacy is ultimately the only way to end this war. Read my full statement ahead of today’s meeting between President Trump, President Zelensky, and other European leaders below:
As wildfire seasons become longer and more devastating, we must invest in wildfire mitigation. It will save lives, property, and money for Coloradans across the state.
This August marks five years since the start of the Cameron Peak Fire - Colorado's largest wildfire to date - in Larimer County. After 112 days and tens of thousands of acres of land effected, firefighters contained the flames.
3 years ago, the Inflation Reduction Act made the largest climate & clean energy investment in our country's history. I will continue to fight back as Republicans attempt to abandon the historic progress we’ve made to lower energy costs, make communities healthier, and create a clean energy future.
Next Tuesday, August 19th, at 3 PM, I'm hosting an in-person town hall in Steamboat Springs! I'm looking forward to hearing directly from Coloradans about the issues that matter the most to them. Sign up below to attend ⬇️
The North American Wetlands Conservation Act is essential to protecting wetlands and wildlife. I’m glad Colorado will benefit from $9 million in funding to restore habitat along the South Platte and on public and private lands from the Front Range to the prairie.
Social Security is the commitment we make to every American after a lifetime of work. For 90 years, it has helped millions of Americans retire with dignity. As Republican cuts threaten this vital program, we must keep fighting to protect it.
Decades of tax cuts for the wealthy and trickle-down economics have abandoned working families and left their children to pay back trillions of dollars in debt. The Republican Budget Bill is no different and trades investments in the next generation for deeper wealth inequality today.
The recent acts of gun violence across the country remind us that we must recommit ourselves to building a future free from these tragedies. Americans should be able to go to work, shop for groceries, and send their kids to school without fear of senseless gun violence.
3 years ago, the PACT Act became law – the largest expansion of health care benefits for veterans in decades. We must honor our veterans’ sacrifices and continue fighting to ensure they can access the high-quality health care they deserve.
President Trump's outrageous misuse of export controls risks allowing China to secure advanced semiconductors, including for military applications – posing risks to U.S. national security. Trump must not sell out the American people for this unaccountable profit-sharing scheme.

President Trump deployed the D.C. National Guard to address what he calls a surge in violent crime. The reality is this is a baseless power grab to take federal control of a city in order to distract from his unpopular and disastrous polices.
