Our rural communities are the engines of our economy. Great to be in Walsenburg to hear more about what Washington can do to help small businesses and towns across Colorado.

Despite President Trump’s efforts, our bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act just became law! Our bill will help housing be more affordable for Americans AND: → Stop Wall Street from buying up homes → Expand housing services for veterans → BUILD MORE HOMES!

The cost of chaos isn’t paid in Washington. It’s paid by Americans in the grocery store, at the gas pump, and anywhere you choose to spend your money. Trump needs to end his illegal war. Stop the illegal tariffs. And put lowering costs for working families at the top of the agenda.

Disaster relief should never be political. The President is leaving Americans to pick up the pieces after disasters based on petty political grievances. The politicization of disaster aid is disgraceful and shameful.

We’re here with crews in Buena Vista who are fighting the Willow fire. We must do everything we can across every level of government to make sure these crews and communities have everything they need.

Another photo-op for an administration that's only currency is lies. Americans are feeling the pain of soaring gas prices because of Trump’s illegal war with Iran.

Trump’s illegal war continues to be a disaster for our country and the world. Americans don’t want forever wars. They want an affordable life and a government that puts their needs first. End this illegal war NOW.

We won’t forget the bravery and sacrifice of the three firefighters lost battling the Snyder Fire. Our hearts are with them and the injured firefighters recovering now.

Our communities have been torn apart by gun violence too many times. Loved ones lost and a sense of security destroyed. The Trump administration is making all of us less safe by rolling back common-sense gun reforms. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...

Had the chance to meet with community members in Meeker and listen to how we can help Coloradans recover from last year’s devastating Elk and Lee Fires. As Colorado battles more wildfires, we have no time to waste to support the impacted communities.

Colorado is at the beginning of what is already a devastating wildfire season. We urge every Coloradan to stay alert and check for updates. We’ll keep fighting for federal resources that can help our communities and first responders stay safe.

Happy 4th of July, Colorado! As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, we’re also celebrating the Centennial State’s 150th this year! Hoping everyone can get out and enjoy time with family and friends and some good food today.

We’re on the ground near Steamboat where conditions are ripe for wildfires. This megadrought is an emergency. All of us, across the state, need to work together to address our water future.

There’s no doubt climate change is shaping this fire season in Colorado. Our communities are in the middle of a megadrought. Our water resources are stretched thin. Our snowpack is at historic lows. This is a climate emergency. coloradosun.com/2026/03/22/1...

It’s been a week since President Trump threw a tantrum and refused to pass a bipartisan bill to lower housing costs for Americans. We need to get this bill across the finish line and make homes affordable for working families.

We’re forever grateful for our servicemembers as we head into July 4th weekend.

Trump’s economy only works for the ultra-wealthy, not YOU. Trump and his cronies are banking billions off the backs of working Americans who are getting the short end of the stick year over year. www.cbsnews.com/news/labor-s...

Colorado communities are under evacuation orders and covered in smoke. The West is experiencing a historic 1,200 year megadrought. This is an all-hands-on-deck emergency. Firefighters and communities need resources NOW to keep themselves and all of us safe. www.denverpost.com/2026/06/30/c...

Scam after scam after scam. While you’re struggling to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare, Trump and his family are banking billions on crypto scams. The most corrupt administration in our nation’s history.

Election Day in Colorado is over, but the real work continues. Working people are facing a cost-of-living emergency, and America is facing the most corrupt administration in our nation’s history. There’s no time to waste. It’s time to work harder and harder. It’s time to giddy up!

Birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the Constitution. Even a MAGA-engineered Supreme Court wouldn't buy Trump's bogus reading of the Constitution. But this isn't Trump's first or last attempt to trample the Constitution. We'll fight him at every turn.

On the ground today in Mesa County meeting with the brave firefighters and emergency management staff who are responding to the horrific Snyder fire. We’ll fight for any support or resources they need as they continue battling these destructive fires.

After a record low snowpack this winter and a 1,200 year megadrought, the West is already in the midst of a catastrophic fire season. This is a climate emergency. The Trump admin needs to quit firing Forest Service staff and send FEMA resources to our communities in need. We need action NOW.

Mail-in voting is safe and secure. As governor of Colorado, we created the gold-standard mail-in voting system because we know every American deserves to have their voices heard. Today’s decision reinforces that every vote counts and states have the right over their own elections.

Colorado Pastor Edward Nalwamba should be with his own congregation today. Instead, he's being detained at the Aurora ICE detention facility and faces deportation to Uganda where his safety is at risk.

Big problems call for big solutions. That's why we fought for and passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the largest investment in infrastructure in generations. Roads. Bridges. Water. Airports. All laying the foundation for a stronger Colorado.

As a geologist, I’ll translate: the White House demolished a perfectly fine, historic walkway and replaced it with expensive granite. Americans want cheaper gas and groceries, and Trump keeps wasting your money on vanity projects.

Our public lands aren't for sale to fund billionaire tax breaks. Not now. Not ever. When MAGA Republicans tried to sell off our public lands we fought them and won. These lands should be cherished and preserved for future generations to enjoy.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran is hurting Americans at the pump, the grocery store, and everywhere in between. Trump ran on lowering costs. Instead he’s raising them.

Tina Peters doesn’t deserve a dime of your taxpayer money. She deserves to be in jail. We led the fight that forced the White House to back down from its disgraceful slush fund for election criminals and the Jan. 6 rioters. And we'll keep fighting until it's dead permanently.

Americans want reliable and affordable energy. To keep up with demand and to combat climate change, we need more investments in clean energy projects. We’ve fought the Trump admin’s reckless cuts to clean energy alternatives at every turn.

No one in Colorado ever did more to promote music, musicians, and the thousands of ways they make Colorado a paradise for all of us lucky enough to call this place home. And no one ever did more to promote the public good and community benefits than Bret Saunders.
