But for a century and a half, the atrocities at Sand Creek went unacknowledged by our government. It wasn’t until 2014 when I was Governor that Colorado officially apologized for the Sand Creek Massacre.

161 years ago, hundreds of Arapaho and Cheyenne people – mostly women, children, and the elderly – were murdered at Sand Creek by U.S. soldiers.
The Sand Creek Massacre is a horrific stain on Colorado and America’s past.

On Native American Heritage Day, we honor the culture and contributions of Tribal communities, including the Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Ute Tribes in Colorado. We remain committed to strengthening Tribal sovereignty and ensuring our government keeps its promises.
Happy Thanksgiving, Colorado! 🦃🧡
Colorado lost a real leader. I’m thinking of her family whose lives have been upended right as we enter the holiday season.

Robin and I are heartbroken to hear that Sen. Faith Winter tragically passed away last night.
Faith was a true public servant. She helped create Colorado’s paid family leave program and led the effort to invest in our roads and communities.

Today we had the honor of welcoming new U.S. citizens at a naturalization ceremony in Denver.
It’s easy to lose sight of America’s original promise of justice and freedom when we see so much division in our communities and politics. But we can’t give up on the fight towards a more perfect union.
Horrified by the shooting in downtown DC today. Our hearts are with the families of the National Guardsmen who were killed in this act of violence.
Breaking news: Both National Guardsmen who were shot near the White House have died, officials confirm. They were from West Virginia.
D.C. police say they have the suspect in custody.

Stretching back to my mayor of Denver days, we’ve always tried to make service a part of our Thanksgiving.
Thank you to the Denver Rescue Mission for all the work they do to help community members in need.
Working families deserve health care that is universal, affordable, and accessible.
Electricity costs are soaring while the Trump admin guts clean energy projects.
Colorado families shouldn’t have to foot the bill for Trump’s broken promises.
Americans are paying 11% more for electricity than they were at the beginning on this year.
And these rising electricity prices means more people are unable to pay, so more people are getting their power shutoff.

Trump’s tariff-taxes are crushing working families and small businesses.
We need to get back to lowering costs and creating jobs. www.youtube.com/shorts/NhIjA...
Senator Kelly is one of the most honorable public servants I know.
This is intimidation from an administration that is terrified of people standing up to them, and being held accountable.
Climate change is making the drought in the West and natural disasters worse. We can’t wait four years to address it.
Our Inflation Reduction Act was a historic start, but our communities need more bold action now.
On January 1st, millions of families will see their health care premiums skyrocket when the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire.
That’s 39 days away. Republicans need to work with us – and fast – to fix this looming health care crisis for working families.
Trump’s tariff-taxes have cost the U.S. tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs. www.newsweek.com/us-manufactu...
You can’t tell working families that the economy is booming when they’re struggling to pay for rent, health care, and groceries. What happened to Trump’s promise to lower costs for families and create more jobs?
Due process is a constitutional right for every human being in the United States. ICE needs to follow the law, including honoring bond. www.denver7.com/news/crime/j...
These are symbols of hate. Even tolerating these symbols shouldn’t have been a consideration.
Hate and bigotry have no place in our military branches or in America.
Our fight is not over. We will continue to demand transparency from DHS regarding allegations of violence, and about what they did to this family.
