We rely on federal workers for national security, public lands, wildfire response, vital benefits, and even keeping planes from colliding. Shutdowns devastate workers, our economy, and safety. We need a bipartisan path to lower health care costs and tackle urgent needs.

Two years ago today, Hamas launched a brutal and unprovoked attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages - including 12 Americans.
Read my full statement:
Proud to stand alongside @WhipKClark.bsky.social& @DemWomenCaucus.bsky.social to fight to protect the health care so many moms & kids rely on.
Families won’t be able to afford the skyrocketing cost of health care if we don’t act.
Us moms will not back down.
Federal employees shouldn’t be used as political pawns, but that’s exactly what Trump is doing—threatening to force them to work without pay or fire them. A wildland firefighter in my district is terrified about a Trump shutdown. Worried too? Share your story: https://bit.ly/4mRBNdz
Donald Trump refuses to negotiate with Democrats to lower health care costs. Instead, he’s threatening mass firings of federal workers, 80% of whom live outside DC. These are our neighbors and vital to our economy. Their livelihoods shouldn’t be used as retribution.
More than 77,000 kids in our state lack health insurance. Trump's Big Ugly Bill cuts Medicaid like never before, gutting our health care system. As a mom, it breaks my heart knowing kids won’t get the care they need. Our kids deserve better.

Great to join the HOYA Foundation to support their work engaging young women in the opportunities available for them to work in the construction and transportation industry. Their event hosted 2,000 girls in high school to expose them to the unlimited opportunities here in Colorado.
We have a toddler in the White House, and Republicans are caving to his tantrums—shutting down the government and withholding billions for critical projects in blue states. Democrats are ready to negotiate a bipartisan path forward when they’re willing to talk.
My mom wouldn’t be alive today without Naloxone.
That’s why I introduced legislation to ensure patients who are at-risk of overdosing can leave the hospital with naloxone in hand. We know naloxone saves lives - let's make sure everyone who needs it can access it.
What, like it's hard?
I’m in Washington ready to work on a bipartisan path to lower health care costs & keep the govt open. We’re hours from a shutdown & Republicans didn’t show up. We must protect coverage & tackle rising insurance costs before it’s too late.
Trump & Republicans want to strip health care from those who need it most, including by ending ACA tax credits that keep coverage affordable for families. And if they don’t get their way, they’re threatening a shutdown. There are just 2 days left to end this chaos & work with us on a path forward.
ICYMI: The Senate passed my bipartisan Support for Patients and Communities bill, now it heads to the President’s desk. This fight is personal. This bill expands naloxone access, supports women in treatment, strengthens the recovery workforce & funds recovery centers.

Housing is already one of the biggest pain points for Colorado families—and Trump’s attacks on immigrant communities make it worse. Deporting workers & spreading fear destabilizes construction. His anti-immigrant agenda is immoral, anti-business & bad for our economy.

What happened in Evergreen was beyond heartbreaking. That’s why I led my CO colleagues on a bipartisan resolution honoring victims & first responders. But we owe them more — we need action to end gun violence.
Republicans are taking food off the plates of seniors, veterans & kids. I’m backing the Restoring Food Security Act to repeal Trump’s SNAP cuts. We can’t let families go hungry while billionaires get more handouts.

No family should have to choose between food & health care. Enhanced Premium Tax Credits help thousands of Coloradans afford coverage, but if they expire, too many will lose care. We need a permanent fix—Republicans must work with us to protect families.
Trump said he would cut “fraud, waste, and abuse” within our government, but instead, he’s helping his billionaire allies cheat our tax system.
The IRS is not Trump’s political arm. The fraud, waste, and abuse is coming from inside the White House.
