Grateful 20 hostages are finally home after two years of anguish. No one should endure what they and their families have been through. Now we must end the war and suffering in Gaza and build a future of lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the enormous contributions of Tribal communities to our state. Indigenous history and culture are deeply woven within the fabric of Colorado.
Let us reaffirm our commitment to support Indigenous peoples in Colorado and across the nation.
My thoughts are with the community of Pagosa Springs as community members evacuate due to extreme flooding.
I am actively monitoring the situation, and am ready to assist at the federal level.
Republicans continuous refusal to negotiate with Democrats means that health care premiums will skyrocket.
A couple in Washington County would pay over $1000 a month for health insurance.
These are the real costs to Republicans’ refusal to negotiate, and Coloradans cannot afford it.
Nearly 80% of Americans support extending the tax credits people need to afford their health care premiums. Yesterday, however, Republicans voted for the 7th time against the extension.
Republicans must negotiate with Democrats to end this shutdown and make health care more affordable.
If Republicans don’t work with Democrats to prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing:
A couple in Bent County would pay over $1000 a month for health insurance.
There are real costs to Republicans’ refusal to negotiate, and Coloradans cannot afford it.
It’s always a pleasure to meet our DC interns and thank them for their dedication to serving Colorado, especially during a government shutdown.
Their hard work is essential for our office to hear and address the needs of all Coloradans.
For the 7th time, I voted against Republicans' budget bill that does nothing to prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing for working families.
They must negotiate with Democrats and reopen the government.
"I am grateful for the announcement of a deal between Israel and Hamas to release the hostages and pause the fighting in Gaza."
Read my full statement on the Israel-Hamas deal:
If Republicans allow the tax credits that help people afford their health care premiums expire, a couple in Ouray would be forced to pay over $1000/ month for health insurance. That is unbelievable.
Coloradans cannot afford that.
Republicans must negotiate with Democrats to preserve these credits.
We need trust, not fear.
That’s why I’m leading the push to prohibit officers from hiding their faces and require them to clearly display their agency, name, and unique identifier during immigration enforcement.
Transparency is essential for accountability and trust. (2/2)
Across Colorado, families are living with a growing fear of ICE raids.
More than half of Latinos in our state say law enforcement should not be allowed to use masks to hide their identity, and 62% say officers should not stop anyone just because they suspect them of being undocumented. (1/2)
I voted NO for a sixth time against Republicans’ partisan budget bill.
I will continue to do so until they agree to negotiate with Democrats and prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing for working families.
Families in Colorado desperately need more affordable housing.
But instead of real solutions, the Trump Administration has shut down HUD and turned their website into a MAGA billboard.
We need an all-hands strategy to lower rents, not Republican political theater.
Application fees have been waived for all 32 public colleges and universities in Colorado, starting today and continuing until Thursday, October 9th.

Coloradans cannot afford for ACA health care tax credits to expire.
Republicans must come to the table to preserve these credits, prevent premiums from skyrocketing, and end their shutdown.
It is imperative that the deal on the table be finalized, that the hostages be reunified with their loved ones, that Gaza be flooded with humanitarian aid, and that this conflict end. Any other outcome will only prolong the tragedy of October 7. (2/2)
Two years after the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, there are still empty chairs at the tables of hostages’ families and millions of Palestinians in Gaza are homeless, facing starvation. (1/2)
Republicans refuse to negotiate with Democrats and prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans.
That’s why I voted NO for the fifth time against Republicans’ partisan budget bill.
Health care premiums will skyrocket by as much as 300% in Colorado if Republicans allow ACA health care tax credits to expire.
Republicans must negotiate with Democrats to preserve this lifeline for families and small businesses.
