It was great to speak with Dr. Hazelbaker, President at Pueblo Community College, about how we support students from all backgrounds in Colorado. It is critical that we ensure students are ready for 21st-century jobs and have the resources they need to build successful careers.

Rural communities are losing access to lifesaving emergency air services as rising costs force many across the country to shut down. That's why I introduced the Protecting Air Ambulance Services for Americans Act, because all Americans deserve access to emergency care no matter where they live.

Bennet, Blackburn, Estes, DelBene Introduce Bill to Support Lifesaving Emergency Services in Rural Communities - U.S. Senator Michael Bennet

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), alongside U.S. Representatives Ron Estes (R-Kan.) and Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), reintroduced the Protecting Air...

Coloradans have long known this to be true as we face increasingly devastating natural disasters like wildfires and drought. Undermining the EPA's ability to limit climate pollution will put our communities at even greater risk. (2/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 29(source)

The Trump Administration’s actions fly in the face of decades of irrefutable science that human-caused climate change is a danger to public health and welfare. (1/2)

Republicans' budget bill puts millions of children, including nearly half a million in Colorado, at risk of losing their health care. That's why I introduced the Keep Kids Covered Act to ensure no child loses access to health care in the most important years of their development.

Bennet Introduces Bill to Ensure Children Have Continuous Access to Health Care as Republican Budget Bill Strips Coverage from Millions - U.S. Senator Michael Bennet

Washington, D.C. — Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, alongside U.S. Representatives Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) and Derek Tran (D-Calif.), introduced the bicameral Keep Kids Covered Act to provide conti...

Too many rural Coloradans must drive hours to see a doctor due to workforce shortages in their communities. I'm glad the University of Northern Colorado is tackling the problem head-on and leading the way in addressing this critical issue for our state.

UNC takes on health care in effort to improve workforce

In Colorado and across the American West, the "Buffalo Soldiers" served in the first all-black regiments in the U.S. Army and were among the earliest park rangers in the country. Today, we recognize their bravery, commitment to service, and enduring mark on American history.

This week, there will be free and discounted events across Colorado. I hope everyone finds a celebration nearby and gets a chance to enjoy the festivities. (2/2)

Colorado, it's time to celebrate our state's 149th birthday! In honor of this milestone, Celebrate Colorado week kicked off on Friday and lasts until August 3rd. (1/2) celebrate.colorado.gov

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is abhorrent and worsening daily. People are starving and dying, especially children. President Trump must demand that Israel enable a large-scale expansion of assistance throughout Gaza immediately.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 26(source)

Republicans' Budget Bill abandons that commitment and threatens to double the poverty rate of American seniors. (2/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 26(source)

Social Security is a commitment we make to every American after a lifetime of work, and we must protect the program for the millions of seniors and people with disabilities who rely on it. (1/2)

A new analysis projects a 24% cut to Social Security benefits by late 2032.

Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will cause sharp cuts to Social Security by late 2032, a new analysis says.

Trump administration releases billions it withheld from schools

Lawmakers of both parties had lobbied to release the funds, which support English-language learning programs, teacher training and academic enrichment.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 25(source)

Though, I’m glad they have finally reversed their decision, Colorado parents, students, & teachers should have never been in this position. This mismanagement only made life more difficult for Colorado schools & did nothing to help Colorado kids get ready for a successful school year. (2/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 25(source)

The Trump administration should have never withheld these critical funds and thrown our families and public schools into uncertainty right before the new school year. (1/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 25(source)

Colorado continues to be a model for the rest of the Western United States. By building the largest wildlife overpass in the U.S., we are protecting wildlife and keeping Colorado drivers safe. (2/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 25(source)

Today, I visited the Greenland Wildlife Overpass project with the Colorado Department of Transportation, which the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law made possible. (1/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 25(source)

Our work to protect the river that fuels our economy, recreation, and way of life is more important than ever. (2/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 25(source)

The Colorado River was named 104 years ago after the beautiful red rocks and canyons found in our state. From the headwaters in the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California, the Colorado River is the lifeblood for much of the American West. (1/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govJul 25(source)

This week, I introduced the No Surprises Act Enforcement Act to ensure health care providers and insurers are following that law and upholding their obligations. (2/2)
