The Republican spending bill does not serve Coloradans well; therefore, I will be voting no.
In the coming days, I am committed to working across the aisle to finish the appropriations process and craft a bill that is a better deal for Colorado.

Republicans knew they needed Democratic votes to pass their spending bill. But, they refused to work with Democrats on a bipartisan deal to put American families first.
I was pleased to join Senator Capito this week to reintroduce the Credit for Caring Act.
Nationwide, 48M family caregivers – including 600K Coloradans – care for a loved one, often at a significant financial cost to themselves. This bill will lessen their strain.

Last night, we hosted a webinar to connect Colorado’s federal workers with resources and answer their questions.
If you weren’t able to tune in, you can watch the full webinar below⬇️
Fire season won’t wait while the Trump Administration decides whether it is worthwhile to train the next generation of firefighters.
The cancellation of courses at America’s premier fire training center is another example of this administration putting our communities at risk.
Egg prices are up nearly 60% from last year. While Donald Trump is shopping for Teslas, the average American is struggling to feed their family.
Colorado pediatricians from the American Academy of Pediatrics stopped by to discuss protecting Medicaid for the millions of Colorado patients who rely on it, many of them children. I will use every tool at my disposal to defend this critical program.
Our webinar for Colorado federal workers is TOMORROW, March 11th, at 5:30 PM MT.

When President Trump and Republicans threaten Medicaid, they are threatening the health care of 80M Americans. These policies are bad for our health care system and bad for patients - especially those in rural communities in Colorado and nationwide who already face numerous barriers to access care.
On #InternationalWomensDay, we honor the incredible achievements and contributions of women in Colorado and around the world. Today and every day, I’m inspired by and grateful for the women in my life – especially my wife, Susan, and our three daughters.
The U.S. Senate Youth Program brings together government officials and students in Washington for a unique week-long program to prepare young people for civic leadership.
It was great to meet with Emily, Jack, and Devin, three inspiring CO student leaders participating in this year’s program.
Forcing 240,000 legal Ukrainian refugees to return to their country amid Putin’s brutal invasion is a shameful decision that flies in the face of America’s values.
President Trump’s decision to impose across-the-board tariffs on Canada and Mexico is the wrong one. This trade war will devastate American workers and families, including here in Colorado.
My full statement⬇️
Colorado farmers export over $2.2 billion of agricultural products annually.
There’s no way around it – Trump’s tariffs will acutely affect Colorado farmers.
To tell our farmers to “have fun” while their livelihoods are at stake is a gross insult.
Canada is our largest trading partner. Mexico is our third-largest.
Starting a trade war with our closest allies and partners will raise costs for Colorado families already struggling to make ends meet.
Trump's plan to cut taxes for his wealthy friends is an insult to the American people. It's time to get serious about tackling our deficit and creating an economy that works for everyone.
An unelected billionaire should not have access to Americans’ personal data.
Elon Musk & DOGE are threatening our national security with their recklessness.
Our immigration system is broken, and the American people deserve real reform that treats people with dignity - instead of cruel measures that force families to live in fear.
In the hours since President Trump’s tariffs on two of our largest trading partners took effect, the stock market has plummeted.
Tariffs are taxes; American workers and families will pay at the pump and grocery store.
My telephone town hall starts SOON at 5:30 PM MT.
If you signed up beforehand, please look out for a call at that time. If you did not sign up, you can still tune in and ask questions on our Facebook livestream.
I look forward to speaking with Coloradans about the issues that matter to them.
