Colorado families already struggling to make ends meet could pay $170 more each year in energy costs by 2030, and an additional $310 by 2035. Once again, working families will bear the brunt of Trump's broken promises. (2/2)

President Trump promised to lower costs – but his "Big Beautiful Bill" will gut clean energy investments and increase energy rates in Colorado. (1/2)
Republicans in Congress stripped health care from millions, blowing a $3.4 trillion hole in our deficit to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.
The American Dream is now further out of reach for working American families.
This tax credit is critical for people on private health plans. Republicans must act now and protect this lifeline while there's still time. (2/2)
Over 300,000 Coloradans would see their health insurance costs skyrocket if Republicans in Congress let the Expanded Premium Tax Credits expire. (1/2)

Congratulations to Aurora Public Schools and Westminster Public Schools for winning 2024 Turnip the Beet Awards for outstanding summer meal programs.
Food insecurity spikes during summer breaks, but summer meal programs provide a lifeline for Colorado's families and ensure no student goes hungry.
My thoughts are with his loved ones and the countless lives he touched. He will be deeply missed. (2/2)
I am sorry to hear of Joe Vigil's passing. A legendary coach who turned Adams State into a destination for top track and field talent, his work revolutionized the sport and inspired generations of athletes to reach their full potential. (1/2)
President Trump dismantling the Department of Education shows he has no idea what's going on in public schools in Colorado or across the country.
We must reimagine our public schools to prepare students for the future, not rob them of the resources they depend on.
13 years ago today, we lost 12 innocent lives in an Aurora movie theater to unspeakable gun violence.
Too many families in Colorado have faced the tragedy of these senseless attacks.
We must commit to building a future free from gun violence.
Our parks, big and small, strengthen our economy, keep us healthy, and make Colorado the most beautiful state in the country.
This weekend, find a park or trail you've never visited before and keep our state thriving.

After-school programs are a lifeline for working families and I will continue to fight for the funding our public schools, community partners, and after-school programs depend on. (2/2)
After demanding answers on Secretary McMahon's funding freeze for after-school programs in Colorado, the administration has rightly reversed course and released already approved funds. (1/2)
The Republican Budget Bill’s Child Tax Credit instead denies the full credit to working families, including 238,000 children in Colorado. It will do nothing to address the growing wealth inequality in this country. (2/2)
Democrats increased and expanded the Child Tax Credit in 2021 so that every family could get it — cutting child poverty in half and hunger by a quarter. Families received it every month, so they could afford groceries, gas, and school supplies. (1/2)
15 years ago, I introduced my Lobbying Ban after I saw the "pay-to-play" politics in Washington up close.
It was clear then that we weren't doing enough to stop it. It's even clearer today.
I am glad @neguse.house.gov and @ocasio-cortez.house.gov are now championing this fight in the House.
This administration continues to promote policy that targets the LGBTQ+ community under the guise of cutting costs. At a time when LGBTQ+ people face increasing discrimination, we must protect this community, not abandon them.
Today, the Trump administration shut down 988 suicide prevention counseling for LGBTQ+ youth. This program was a lifeline for a population that is four times more likely to consider suicide than their peers.
For years, our rural and mountain communities have faced postal delays. I look forward to working with Postmaster General Steiner to improve postal service for all Coloradans, regardless of where they live.
Today, I led my Colorado colleagues in congratulating our 76th Postmaster General, David Steiner, on his appointment and urged him to prioritize improving service across our state.
