From the suffragettes to the women on the front lines of today's fight for civil rights, this March we will be highlighting the remarkable women who have shaped the course of Colorado history.
The Trump Administration must explain immediately how it plans to prevent its war with Iran from creating a chain reaction that hopelessly destabilizes the country or ignites a regional conflagration that jeopardizes the lives of American troops. Read my statement on the President’s war in Iran:
In the 1860s, Lewis and Frederick Douglass Jr., sons of the abolitionist and civil rights pioneer, Frederick Douglass, headed west to Denver. The Douglass brothers founded Colorado's first Black school — an entire century before schools were desegregated across America.
Casey Means has repeatedly questioned the safety of childhood vaccines — despite overwhelming scientific evidence of their safety — and has called birth control pills a "disrespect of life." I will oppose her nomination and push back against this administration's dangerous anti-science agenda.
Private prison contractors profiting from people detained at the Aurora detention facility is a moral failure we cannot ignore. I will keep fighting for real accountability, transparency, and human dignity at every level of our immigration process. coloradosun.com/2026/02/25/u...
Pearce has shown he will be the first to sell off our public lands which sustain Colorado’s economy and way of life. He will be an enforcer of Trump's reckless 'drill baby drill' policies and demolish the protections that ensure our kids and grandkids will benefit from public lands as we do today.
Coloradans have witnessed the reality: American citizens shot and killed in U.S. cities, families living in fear and struggling to afford health care and groceries, and small businesses fighting for survival under the weight of Trump's tariffs.
Donald Trump wants you to think he’s brought back the Expanded Child Tax Credit. He hasn’t. Under his plan, 19M children will be left out of the full credit — meaning hungry kids, struggling parents, and families falling behind.
In one year, President Trump has ordered military action against seven countries and deployed federal troops to American cities without Congressional approval. He has undermined NATO, the most successful alliance in history and alienated key U.S. allies with his tariffs.
Tonight, Trump is trying to sow distrust in our public elections. The SAVE America Act will only make it harder for millions of American citizens — women, rural voters, seniors — to vote. The SAVE America ACT is voter suppression. We won't stand for it.
Our priority should be expanding access to health care for our families. That’s why I will always fight against Republican efforts to cut Medicaid, take away ACA benefits, and strip funding and resources from rural hospitals.
I'm fighting to return oversight authority to Congress and put an end to this costly trade war that is crushing Colorado families and small businesses.
