We must work together to keep our forests healthy and mitigate wildfire risk, which is why I introduced the Emergency Mountain Pine Beetle Response and Coordination Act.

Colorado’s warming weather and prolonged drought have created the perfect conditions for the spread of the mountain pine beetle in Ponderosa pine forests across the state.

Read my full statement on the Farm Bill failing to advance in Committee ⬇️
Today, with deep disappointment, I voted against the 2026 Farm Bill in the Senate Agriculture Committee. I could not support the bill as written, but I remain committed to finding a bipartisan path forward that works for Colorado families, communities, and farmers.
That's why I'm working with Senator Husted to introduce the bipartisan First-Time Home Buyer Empowerment Act, helping first-time homebuyers overcome one of the biggest barriers to homeownership by allowing them to use savings they already have to cover a down payment.
Across Colorado, the rising cost of housing continues to push homeownership further out of reach for young people and working families.
We must continue standing with Coloradans who have borne the brunt of this dangerous pollution and protect the health and well-being of every family living nearby.
I'm glad the court upheld the right of North Denver and Commerce City residents to hold Suncor accountable to the law and fight for clean air in their communities.
Suncor has a long history of violating emission limits, releasing toxic pollutants that disproportionately impact the neighborhoods surrounding its Commerce City refinery.
That's why I'm glad to join my colleagues to introduce the Wildfire Air Quality Sensor Expansion Act, which will help state, local, and Tribal agencies monitor worsening air pollution from wildfires and make better public health decisions.
As Colorado faces one of the most severe wildfire seasons on record, Coloradans are worried not just about fire growth and destruction, but about the health risks that come with poor air quality.
Moving here with my wife, Susan, and raising our daughters in Colorado was the best decision I've ever made. Today, I encourage Coloradans from every corner of our state to get outside and enjoy everything it has to offer.
Happy 150th birthday, Colorado! Let's celebrate everything that makes this state the best in America: our mountains, our public lands, and the Coloradans who call it home.
Glad to join @hickenlooper.senate.gov and @neguse.house.gov in calling for local cooperation to protect these public lands and prevent harm to wildlife populations and habitats.
I'm leading the charge to urge the National Telecoms & Information Administration to work with state and local partners to protect wildlife habitat and irrigation access at the 1,700-acre Table Mountain Field Site north of Boulder.
Meanwhile, this Administration has already funneled millions of taxpayer dollars into this war and is now asking for billions more.
Enough is enough.
154 days into President Trump's reckless war of choice, the toll keeps rising. Colorado families have shouldered $1 billion in extra gas costs they cannot afford.
Today’s announcement is the bare minimum. I will continue fighting for a durable, long-term solution that brings certainty to the Colorado River.
Read my full statement on the Bureau of Reclamation’s short-term plan for operating the Colorado River ⬇️
I'm leading my colleagues in demanding the Trump Administration crack down on a Russian state-backed crypto network that Putin uses to evade U.S. sanctions and fund his unprovoked war against Ukraine.

I will not sit back and let Trump decimate these vital programs.
