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.
Nvidia and AMD to pay 15% of China chip sale revenues to US government on.ft.com/3JaXE0w
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.
The Republican Budget Bill could slash critical food and nutrition assistance for hundreds of thousands of Colorado families. As Republicans cut vital safety net programs for those who need them most, I will use every tool at my disposal to ensure Colorado families can put food on the table.
As students head back to their classrooms this month, I will keep pushing to ensure Colorado’s schools have all they need to prepare their students for the future. Thank you to the teachers & school administrators for your hard work gearing up for a successful school year.
Three years ago, we passed the CHIPS and Science Act to reinvest in next-generation technology and bring advanced manufacturing back to America. As a result, Colorado has created hundreds of good-paying jobs in vital industries and continues to lead the way in technologies of the future.
I am closely monitoring the Lee and Elk wildfires in Rio Blanco County. My thoughts are with the Town of Meeker, the evacuees, and the people who have lost their homes. Thank you to our brave firefighters and first responders working on the ground to protect Northwest Colorado.
At my town hall, it was clear that Coloradans face extraordinary challenges, from housing costs to educational outcomes and health care access. I believe our state can become a leader for the country in solving these issues and chart a better future for the next generation.
President Trump’s decision to impose 100% tariffs on computer chips puts our national and economic security at risk. When we faced a chip shortage during the pandemic, prices rose, and everything from home appliances to farm equipment became scarce. Trump is doing the same thing.
Colorado made sure families shouldn't have to worry about their kids losing health care in their earliest years. That’s why I led a letter urging the Trump Administration to ensure our state continues providing continuous lifesaving health care for kids.
Today is the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. As our voting rights continue to come under attack, we must keep fighting to ensure every American can freely exercise their right to vote. Our future depends on it.
Affordable housing and childcare are out of reach for too many rural Colorado families. I was glad to meet with local leaders in Ouray who are stepping up to meet this challenge and working to address the childcare and housing shortages across their community.
Thank you to all who attended yesterday's Durango Town Hall to use your voices and discuss the challenges facing our state, from health care access for our children to the future of our democracy. I will keep fighting for Colorado and look forward to our next conversation.
While in Montrose yesterday, I had the opportunity to meet with Mayor Dave Frank and talk with him about affordable housing and fighting for rural communities. Thank you, Montrose, for the warm welcome. I look forward to coming back.
Coloradans tell me that no matter how hard they work, they can’t get ahead, and their kids can’t get ahead. It was great to hear directly from young Coloradans about how we can make Montrose County and the rest of our state affordable for them and their families.
