It was a pleasure to meet with our Denver fall interns to thank them for their hard work and hear their plans for the future. Our office wouldn’t be the same without them, and I’m incredibly grateful for their dedication throughout the government shutdown.

This deal will protect critical wildlife habitat, grazing, cultural sites, and hunting and fishing for the San Luis Valley for generations to come. [2/2]

I’m glad to see the Colorado State Land Board approve the transfer of 46,000 acres near La Jara to the Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service using the Land and Water Conservation Fund. [1/2]

Colorado State Land Board approves La Jara Basin sale, reversing a possible plan to cancel the 9-year deal

The $50M sale of 46,000-acre basin in San Luis Valley to the feds followed concern over Trump administration protection of public land

I will do everything I can to extend these tax credits and bring down health care costs for working families. [2/2]

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govNov 14(source)

Colorado families are already struggling to get by as the costs of childcare, rent, and groceries continue to skyrocket. The least we could do is make things a little bit easier and extend the ACA tax credits that make their health insurance more affordable. [1/2]

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govNov 13(source)

That is why I joined my colleagues earlier this week to demand Starbucks stop its illegal union-busting campaign and negotiate a fair contract with its workers. [2/2]

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govNov 13(source)

I’m proud to stand with @sbworkersunited.org and Starbucks employees across the country as they fight for fair pay, respect, and a voice on the job. No one serving our communities should struggle to make ends meet. [1/2]

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govNov 12(source)

I won’t stop fighting to restore those credits or to make health care affordable and accessible to working people in our state. [2/2]

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govNov 12(source)

Nearly 300,000 Coloradans face the real possibility of their monthly health care premiums doubling, tripling, or even quadrupling next year without the ACA tax credits Republicans have refused to extend. [1/2]

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govNov 12(source)

Health care is a right. And until we have universal coverage in this country, we shouldn’t make it harder for working families to afford coverage & stay healthy by allowing critical ACA tax credits to expire. These credits are a lifeline for countless Coloradans. We must fight to preserve them.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govNov 11(source)

America’s veterans bravely answered the call to serve our country and sacrificed to defend our freedom. On Veterans Day, we honor their service and remember our duty to ensure veterans in Colorado and across the country have the healthcare, housing, and support they’ve earned and deserve.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govNov 10(source)

When we passed the Affordable Care Act, we made historic progress in making health care attainable for working people. After years of Republicans trying to take that health care away, we cannot give up our fight now, as millions are at risk of losing their premium tax credits and their coverage.

I’m glad the Supreme Court affirmed LGBTQ+ equality and refused to hear a case attempting to overturn same-sex couples’ constitutional rights. Every person, no matter who they are or who they love, deserves the right to marry and share the freedoms granted to every American.

Hunger is not a political weapon, and I will continue pushing to ensure Trump fully funds SNAP and put an end to this cruelty. [2/2] www.bennet.senate.gov/2025/11/04/b...

President Trump is continuing his political tug-of-war with hungry families’ SNAP benefits and has now resorted to punishing states for trying to ensure their families can feed themselves. [1/2]

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govNov 9(source)

If you have seen your 2026 health care premiums skyrocket, please share your story. Republicans have refused to extend critical premium tax credits for working families, and now thousands of Coloradans are at risk of losing coverage. Your story will allow me to shine a light on this crisis.

But local governments have stepped up to support their communities. For more information about resources in your local government, visit: cdhs.colorado.gov/snap or call the SNAP hotline at 1-800-816-4451 [2/2]

More than 600,000 Coloradans are going without their SNAP benefits as Trump continues to play political games with people's lives and appeals the court mandate to fully fund the program saving children and families from going hungry. [1/2]

Good News: UC Colorado Springs will now have an Air Force ROTC unit to better serve students in southern Colorado traveling 100+ miles for classes. After urging the US Air Force to establish this unit, I’m glad students who have committed to serving our country will now have greater support.
