126 years ago today, “Daddy” Bruce Randolph was born. He was a true Denver legend and a fellow restaurant entrepreneur who truly loved his community. This Black History Month, we honor the legacy of Daddy Bruce and his son, Bruce Randolph Jr.

Trump’s tariffs are forcing our small businesses to cut jobs, raise prices, or close. We need to get back to lowering costs and creating jobs.
- JH
I’m a small business guy. One of the reasons I got into public service and ran for Mayor of Denver was because I felt the government wasn’t doing enough to support small businesses.

We need to avoid wasting time – and water – and come together to chart a path to a more sustainable future for the Colorado River. (3/3)
- JH
The best path forward is the one we take together. Litigation won’t solve the problem of this long-term aridification. No one knows for sure how the courts could decide and the math will only get worse. (2/3)

This winter’s alarmingly low snowpack across Colorado adds an exclamation point to the already dire drought in the Basin. If we don’t address this problem together – head-on and fast – our communities, farms, and economies will suffer. (1/3)

Trump’s attacks on child care hurt Americans across the country. Families deserve better.

Republicans had two weeks to work with us to overhaul ICE. Yet, they chose to shut down DHS instead. They can’t keep asking us to ignore what we’ve seen with our own eyes. ICE needs a top-to-bottom overhaul to stop them from terrorizing our communities.
- JH
Republicans rebranded their original SAVE Act to the SAVE America Act, but its goal is the same. They want to stop Americans from using their RIGHT to vote. I was a no then, I’ll be a no now.
- JH
Yet President Trump and the Republicans have chosen to shut down the government rather than work with us. We’ll use every tool at our disposal until ICE is overhauled to keep our communities safe.
- JH
The American people have seen with their own eyes that ICE is out of control. The agency needs a top-to-bottom overhaul. We proposed commonsense reforms — like body cameras, judicial warrants, and strict restraints on the use of force — things that are standard for local law enforcement agencies.

This reckless decision puts our health at risk and will let harmful emissions dirty our air and water. While the Trump administration continues to attack science, it’s our communities who will pay the price.

By cancelling this funding, President Trump is jeopardizing the health of Coloradans and making America more susceptible to future outbreaks. These cuts should be reversed immediately. www.denverpost.com/2026/02/10/t...

When Trump attacks science in Colorado, the whole country is worse off. Gutting energy research doesn’t put us ahead. It hands the future to someone else and raises costs for Americans. coloradosun.com/2026/02/09/l...

ICE is out of control and the clock is close to midnight for Republicans to work with us to overhaul ICE.

Trump wants to silence people he disagrees with, but we are a nation of laws. Intimidation is a classic authoritarian tactic.

Kids should be going to school and dreaming about a better world, not being detained in poorly run facilities. They’re just kids. ICE needs to stop separating families and arresting children.

The cost of this reckless assault on science and innovation could not be higher. Americans just need to look at their electricity bill. (2/2)

No question, the Trump administration is dismantling Golden’s renewable energy lab and hollowing out our energy industry, driving away some of the smartest and most innovative people in the country. (1/2)

Trump’s economy is so bad it’s forcing people out of retirement and into a job market where layoffs are at their highest since 2009. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/05/u...

President Trump claims ICE is targeting “the worst of the worst.” In reality, they’re targeting people with no criminal history, separating families, and killing people in the streets.

Sending masked federal agents to terrorize people at the grocery store, at school, and in their homes is just wrong. Overhaul ICE!

We’ve all seen videos of ICE’s lawlessness. It must stop. We must overhaul ICE now.

A little over one year into Trump’s second term and Americans are getting ripped off. Costs are rising, tariffs are wrecking small businesses, and affordable homes are nowhere to be found.
- JH
Is the President sharing these disgusting racist images to distract people from his ICE agents killing people in the street? I don't even think he deserves that credit. Every single Republican should denounce this immediately.

Masked ICE agents terrorize the public and destroy public trust. We need a top-to-bottom restructuring to stop this insanity.

ICE agents leaving behind “death cards” in the cars of people who they’ve detained is cruel for the sake of being cruel. We need an immediate investigation and a total overhaul of this agency.
