As a former Superintendent, I know teaching is one of the toughest and most important jobs. Congratulations to Thornton teacher Michelle Pearson for her induction into the National Teacher Hall of Fame–your passion for teaching will stay with your students for years to come.
This weekend, I was honored to meet Howard Berger, a 101-year-old WW2 veteran. Alongside Howard we remember the brave Americans who fought and died for our freedom. On Memorial Day, we thank you for your sacrifice.
House Republican’s budget bill will strip health care from millions just to pay for tax cuts for the richest Americans. This is unacceptable. Senate Democrats must stand up against these cuts, and give Americans a vision for what a better future can look like.
President Trump has not wasted a moment using his position of power for personal gain. Today’s official acceptance of a luxury jet from the Qatari government for use as Air Force One poses a needless threat to U.S. national security and is a disturbing abuse of the office of the President.
The United States lost its AAA credit rating due to the disastrous policies of this Administration. Whoever our next IRS Commissioner is needs to take responsibility and quit blaming Congress.
Hearing from Coloradans on the issues that matter to them is my favorite part of the job. Join me this week for an in-person town hall in Pueblo on Saturday May 24, at 3:00 PM MT. Sign up below to attend⬇️ docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Ending protections for Venezuelans fleeing Maduro’s regime is cruel, short-sighted, and destabilizing. I’ve fought to extend TPS so families in Colorado can stay safe and rebuild their lives. Stripping it away abandons American values and weakens our communities.
Today, I introduced the STABLE GENIUS Act to ban federal officeholders and candidates from profiting off digital assets like crypto. We have seen rampant corruption in the highest levels of government that can no longer go unchecked. Learn more about my legislation here ⬇️
Susan and I are sad to learn of President Biden’s cancer diagnosis. We are thinking of President Biden and his family today as he begins his path to recovery.
It’s Colorado Public Lands Day–a reminder that Colorado’s public lands are the backbone of our outdoor recreation economy and way of life. Now more than ever, we must keep fighting to protect these lands and the land management employees who preserve them for future generations.
NEXT WEEK: I am hosting an in-person town hall in Pueblo on Saturday, May 24, at 3:00 PM MT. I look forward to speaking with Coloradans about the issues that matter to them. You must sign up below to attend⬇️
Colorado, it's Women's Health Week. As Americans’ health care and women’s reproductive freedom continue to come under attack, it’s more important than ever to ensure women have access to the care and resources they need to have control over their bodies and futures.
It was great to speak with Western Growers about our shared work to deliver for producers on the frontlines of major issues across Colorado and the West. Western agriculture faces unique challenges, and I’m committed to showing up for our farmers, families, and rural communities.
Under the current Republican tax plan, millions of Americans will lose their health insurance or see their costs increase – all for tax breaks for billionaires and corporations. This bill doesn't benefit anyone but President Trump and his ultra-wealthy friends.
