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.
After the Supreme Court ruled many of President Trump’s tariffs illegal, he doubled down and imposed additional tariffs that will continue to drive up costs and increase economic uncertainty across our state. His actions challenge the checks and balances of our democracy.
When Coloradans lose faith in the government, they turn to the leaders in their communities for guidance. Thank you, Andrea Loya, for your courageous work at Casa de Paz — fighting for the dignity and humanity of immigrants facing detention and the families devastated by separation.
Secretary Noem has already tried to block our access to the existing ICE facility in Aurora. We will not allow ICE to expand operations in our state unchecked while Kristi Noem's DHS has abandoned all standards for oversight and accountability.
