The Trump Administration must stop using hunger as a political weapon, follow the law, and fully fund SNAP.
The administration has the authority and resources to fund food assistance for hungry families, and these half measures are unacceptable.

Colorado has led the country in protecting patients’ credit scores from the burden of unexpected medical debt.
The Trump Administration’s cruel attempts to upend these protections, as they leave working families without affordable coverage, will worsen the health care crisis Coloradans are facing.
If you have seen your 2026 health care premiums skyrocket, please share your story.
Republicans have refused to extend critical premium tax credits for working families, and now thousands of Coloradans are at risk of losing coverage.
Your story will allow me to shine a light on this crisis.
OPEN ENROLLMENT for Connect for Health Colorado 2026 plans starts today Nov. 1st, and ends Jan. 15th.
Coloradans across the state have told me their premiums are increasing hundreds or thousands of dollars a month.
Now is the time to check your rate, compare, and secure your plan.
For weeks, I’ve been demanding the Trump administration use contingency funding for critical SNAP benefits that keep families fed.
Now, the courts are requiring it. To Donald Trump and Republicans: get back to work and stop messing with Americans’ lives.
Countless Coloradans are now facing similar choices because of Republicans' failure to extend critical premium tax credits.
I will keep fighting in Washington to find a solution and protect Coloradans' health care.

After a breast cancer diagnosis in 2024, Cyndi relied on her Connect for Health plan for the life-saving treatments and therapies she needed.
Now she's in remission & facing the impossible choice of skipping her annual appointments or paying $1200 more/ month for coverage she can't afford.

As federal workers continue to work without pay, and the government shutdown affects services across Colorado, please visit my website for information and resources that can help.
My office is open and ready to assist however we can during this time.

Colorado: If you have a Connect for Health Colorado plan, you can log on now and see plan prices for next year.
Many Coloradans will see their premiums double or triple.
Please share your 2026 increases here, and I will continue to shine a light on this crisis that our state is now facing.
Bob's story is the reality for countless Coloradans.
Working families in our state simply cannot afford to pay thousands more every month for health insurance.
I will keep fighting to ensure more Coloradans don’t lose their coverage as a result of this crisis.
The Trump Administration spent $20 billion in taxpayer dollars to prop up Argentina and paved the way for their beef producers to profit at the expense of our own.
I will continue to demand answers from Trump’s appointees for this ridiculous policy and betrayal of Colorado’s ranchers.
These immigration actions are inhumane, and attacking the First Amendment rights of Coloradans is un-American.

Yesterday, the Durango community came together to peacefully protest the cruel actions of an ICE raid that separated a family.
I am outraged to see that in response, ICE confronted the protestors with pepper spray, rubber bullets, and physical force.

Instead of ending his trade war and bringing down costs to help struggling ranchers, President Trump is prioritizing his friendship with Argentina’s president & his country’s beef producers over our own.
Colorado ranchers and their families deserve stability, not politically driven trade policies.
Higher premiums will force working families across the state to choose between health care and other necessities like groceries or rent.
And yet, Republicans refuse to extend this critical lifeline.

Coloradans who purchase health insurance through the ACA marketplace may see their premiums double or triple next year.
This is unacceptable.

The proposed acquisition of Tegna — the parent company of 9News — by Nexstar, would make it the largest local broadcasting company in the country & threaten local journalism in Colorado and beyond.
Proud to partner with @bennet.senate.gov in imploring the FCC to reject it.
Next year, a couple in El Paso County could be forced to pay $950 a month for health insurance.
This is the real cost of Republicans' refusal to negotiate to extend premium health care tax credits for working families.
Coloradans cannot afford it.
If Republicans don’t work with Democrats to prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing:
A couple in Jackson County would pay over $1400 a month for health insurance.
There are real costs to Republicans’ refusal to negotiate, and Coloradans cannot afford it.
