A time-honored event dedicated to the First Amendment and a free press was disrupted by violence that has no place in our country. Grateful that those in attendance are safe, and thankful to the Secret Service and law enforcement who acted swiftly to protect lives.
From gutting NIH research to slashing Medicaid and bankrupting rural hospitals, Trump and RFK Jr.'s assault on public health is hurting families all across America. The United States should be leading the world on public health, not dismantling it.
Congress should be making it easier for families to put food on the table. That's why I joined my colleagues to introduce this bill to let SNAP participants buy hot rotisserie chicken. There’s no good reason a family can buy a cold one but not a hot one.
I wish the firefighter who was injured during yesterday’s wildfire near Horsetooth Reservoir a full and speedy recovery. A huge thank you to the firefighters who responded to wildfires across our state this week.
RFK Jr. must communicate his support for the vaccine to the American people, and put a stop to the misinformation and fear he's caused for parents across the country.
Yesterday I got RFK Jr. to publicly admit that vaccines are safe and vital to protecting children’s health. This new-found position comes after years of anti-vaccine rhetoric.
Together, we have protected more than 700,000 acres of public lands, stopped Trump from selling off Colorado’s public lands, and connected ranchers, farmers, and local governments with federal wildfire support.
Sec. Kennedy spent decades sowing doubt about vaccines. Today, during my questioning, he admitted that the measles vaccine is critical to protecting children’s health. He must now communicate his new-found support directly to the American people.
SOON: I'm going to question Sec. Kennedy on the conspiracy theories he's been peddling from his position as the most senior public health official in America. He must answer for the damage he's done to erode public trust and public health — on behalf of families all across Colorado.
Tomorrow, RFK Jr. is back before the Senate to answer for the dangerous conspiracy theories he’s pushed from the highest seat in American public health. His own testimony made clear he was unfit for this role from the start. He should never have been confirmed.
This legislation would allow the City of Ouray to repair the dam at Crystal Reservoir and restore a critical water supply, while keeping the land public for current residents and future generations to enjoy. We're one step closer to passing this bill and protecting recreation access in Ouray.
Today, we remember the Ludlow Massacre, when Colorado miners and their families were met with violence for daring to demand fair wages, safe conditions, and the right to organize.
RFK Jr. is returning to the Senate to answer for his disastrous approach to America's public health. I was clear the last time I questioned him: Colorado families deserve better than his chaos and uncertainty. On behalf of Coloradans, I won’t back down until we get the answers we need.
Today, Rep. Jason Crow and I introduced a resolution recognizing the 10th anniversary of Columbine Day of Service, recommitting to action and to a future where safety defines our schools.
