The SAVE Act is a wolf in sheep's clothing–voter suppression dressed up as an election security bill. We’re still a HELL NO on the SAVE Act. Our elections are safe and secure.

The consequences of Trump’s deadly, illegal war are far reaching and he has no plan to get us out and lower costs. We must end the war and focus on lowering costs here at home. apnews.com/article/oil-...

In case anyone forgot: Our elections are safer, more secure, and more accessible because of mail-in voting. In 2013, Colorado set the gold standard. Now the fight to protect Americans' right to vote continues.

President Trump has no idea what he’s doing in Iran. For five months he has promised complete and total victory. He’s not winding down the war, he’s escalating it.

A historic 1,200-year drought is adding fuel to the wildfires in Colorado. It’s costing our state. →It’s costing lives →It’s costing homes →It’s costing communities We won’t stop fighting for resources our first responders and communities need to battle these fires.

Instead of actually working to fix our broken immigration system, the Trump administration is trying to reignite yesterday’s culture wars. These young people, many of whom have never had a home other than Colorado, want an education so they can build their lives.

Walking into the hospital shouldn’t be like walking into a casino–a complete gamble. Patients and employers should know how much they’re paying upfront with no trickery or games. Let’s pass our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act into law!

We’ve now voted a DOZEN TIMES to end Trump’s illegal war that’s costing American lives. The American people are sick and tired of it. We need to bring our troops home safely and start bringing down costs for Americans. END THE WAR NOW!

At a time when 41% of Americans carry a staggering $220 billion in medical debt, patients deserve price transparency. Our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act brings much-needed sunlight to our health care system—the first step toward lowering costs and making universal health care a reality. (1/2)

In June, we visited Glenwood Springs and heard the community's real concerns about the limestone quarry expansion, which poses a threat to local water resources and tourism. We stand with Glenwood Springs and are committed to stopping this expansion.

The link between climate change and drought is undeniable. New research shows the 2026 Western snow drought was about four times more likely because of climate change. We need to work together to address this existential crisis. www.denverpost.com/2026/07/22/c...

4.5 million Americans have lost SNAP benefits because of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. Cutting food assistance for struggling families to fund tax breaks for billionaires is shameful. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

May 5th. That’s the last time Secretary Hegseth and General Caine gave a public briefing on the Iran War. Now they want Congress to write a blank check for nearly $100 billion. Why are they keeping the Americans in the dark, but wanting taxpayers to hand over billions for their illegal war?

The proof is in the pudding. Trump is bad for the economy and bad for American jobs.

This weekend was a painful reminder that President Trump's war isn't some distant conflict. It's costing lives and hurting Colorado families. Seventeen heroic U.S. service members have now been tragically killed, with many more injured.

All across Colorado, we’ve fought alongside communities for federal funding to help invest in projects that help Coloradans!

Americans just can’t catch a break under Trump. They feel it every time they go to the pump, with gas prices again at over $4/gallon on average nationwide because of his illegal war in Iran. End the war and bring down costs here at home NOW. apnews.com/article/gas-...

Wildfires are burning everywhere, from Canada to Colorado. This is a climate emergency. It shouldn’t take smoke covering D.C. to force Congress to take action. We need all hands on deck NOW.

Disaster relief should never be political. These are communities that are hurting and have been through the worst times of their lives. It’s so far below our shared American values and is unacceptable.

Our immigration system is broken. Firing immigration judges who follow the law and refuse to bend to Donald Trump isn’t how we make the system work better. It’s un-American. www.cpr.org/2026/07/14/i...

Trump’s economy and his illegal war with Iran are ballooning gas prices for Colorado families. A president who claims to put Americans first is doing the exact opposite.

At least 4 people are dead this year because of ICE. Trump wants these reckless traffic stops to continue. Not one more penny for ICE and its lawlessness.

Our communities need all the resources they can get to combat this devastating wildfire season. We saw this firsthand visiting Beulah. Trump’s cuts to the Forest Service and his politicization of FEMA funding puts the safety of Americans last.

This is a blatant attack on public lands everywhere. Our public lands are part of our shared heritage. Removing protections and paving the way for mining and drilling on beloved landscapes goes against the values of the West.
