Four years after the Marshall Fire, I’m thinking of the two Coloradans we lost, and the thousands displaced during the most destructive fire in our state’s history.
The resilience of Coloradans in the wake of the Marshall Fire and other devastating wildfires this year is inspiring.

After holding a record number of public town halls from Durango to Greeley, I’m reminded how every corner of our state is ready to stand up for what’s best for Colorado.
Coloradans showed up this year and made their voices heard on rising costs, public lands, health care, the future of our democracy, and so much more.
I look forward to even more important conversations in 2026.
I hit the road again this year, reaching Coloradans in Pueblo, Pagosa Springs, and beyond to learn more about what I can do to support their communities, including access to clean water, affordable child care, and protecting our precious public lands.
The best part of my job is meeting with Coloradans across our state to discuss the issues that matter most to them.
From standing against rising health care costs and threats to our public lands to calling out incompetent and dangerous members of Trump’s admin, these fights would not have been possible without voices and support from across our state.
This year, I stood up for Coloradans and pushed back on the Trump Administration's threats to our democracy and way of life.
As we move into the new year, we're proud to continue fighting for you!
Every day, my office helps Coloradans cut through red tape and resolve issues with federal agencies.
In 2025, we helped over one thousand Coloradans navigate the immigration system and addressed hundreds of social security challenges for seniors across our state.
If you're facing a problem with the federal government, pick up the phone. We're here, and we're ready to help.

When Coloradans call, we listen—and we fight to solve their problems.
In response to the chaos and uncertainty of this year, our office received hundreds of thousands of calls and millions of letters from Coloradans seeking help and making their voices heard.
In 2025, USDA lost over 20,000 employees – including 16% of the U.S. Forest Service work force.
The Trump Administration's indiscriminate, shortsighted layoffs hurt Colorado's farmers, undermine efforts to strengthen rural economies, and leave our state more vulnerable to wildfires.
Colorado’s public lands are a cornerstone of our economy and way of life. I will keep fighting for the public servants who manage the landscapes that make Colorado - Colorado. (2/2)
President Trump’s mass layoffs of Forest Service staff tore at the agency already stretching itself to oversee our public lands and protect our communities from wildfires. (1/2)
Jeanette Vizguerra will finally reunite with her family, but her release is long overdue. As we fight for to fix our broken immigration system, I’m grateful for Jeanette’s continued leadership in speaking out against this administration’s cruel and inhumane policies.
The next generation deserves a President who understands the stakes of climate change and the benefits of embracing a clean energy economy - and puts their future first. (2/2)
At President Trump’s inauguration, he declared an “energy emergency” to try and justify his damaging actions to roll back clean energy and climate protections.
It’s dangerous, and it weakens America’s energy leadership and progress towards a net-zero future. (1/2)
Western Colorado communities need help recovering after the historic flooding and wildfires this year, and federal assistance should be available to every state and county that needs it.
Together with Gov. Polis and the Colorado delegation, I will take every available step to appeal this decision.
FEMA’s denial of Colorado’s request for federal disaster assistance is unacceptable.
