Coloradans see right through this latest attempt to undermine our gold-standard election system before the midterms, and I’ll continue to fight this every step of the way.

President Trump can't even convince members of his own party to pass the SAVE Act, so he’s looking for new ways to attack mail-in ballots and make it harder for Americans to vote.
Colorado has lost another firefighter. Five lives have now been taken by this relentless fire season. Our hearts are with every family, every crew, and every community carrying this unimaginable loss. We will never take their service and sacrifice for granted.
That's exactly why we have to keep fighting. Science and innovation funding should never depend on which party is in power. I'll keep standing up for Colorado to protect the funding our researchers and communities have earned.
This confirms what we've known all along: the Trump Administration is using federal funding to punish states that dont fall in line politically.
A private company wants to nearly triple the size of its gravel quarry outside Glenwood, putting our hot springs at risk.
We're glad to work with the Glenwood Springs community to introduce legislation that would block this expansion.

I demand that ACHP work with Tribes to preserve and improve the consultation process, not disregard the federal government's critical responsibilities to Tribal Nations.
No longer requiring the federal government to meaningfully engage in Tribal consultation before projects go forward will not only irreversibly impact our history – it puts Tribal sovereignty, and Tribes’ ability to engage in government-to-government consultation, at risk.
I am outraged to see the new regulations proposed by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) that threaten to eliminate Tribal consultation as we know it.
My bill with @bluntrochester.senate.gov would invest in workforce training programs that drive economic mobility, so veterans, single parents, and workers of every background can compete in today's economy.
Too many Coloradans want to build a sustainable career to provide for their families, but haven't been given the tools to earn a living wage.
Tonight’s reversal only reinforces my concerns. A free press is not a loophole. It’s a cornerstone of our democracy.
The DOJ withdrew its subpoenas to @nytimes.com reporters. At his confirmation hearing, I challenged Jay Clayton about whether these subpoenas respected the First Amendment and followed DOJ policy.
Today, I'm glad to introduce legislation with Representative Hurd and Senator Hickenlooper to defend this iconic landmark that sustains the local economy and has been a site of healing for the Ute Tribes since time immemorial.
I'm standing with the Glenwood Springs community to fight against renewed gravel mining threats to the Glenwood Hot Springs. Risking this one-of-a-kind resource is shortsighted and irresponsible.
These unlawful and corrupt terminations underscore that Trump and RFK Jr. do not care about the quality of your health care.
HHS must abide by bipartisan law and allocate this funding immediately.
Trump's HHS continues its assault on healthcare – this time by illegally dismantling the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and slashing tens of millions in research grants, including important research being done here in Colorado.
I'll continue to fight back against reckless trade policies that treat our farmers and ranchers as collateral damage.
President Trump isn't standing up for farmers and ranchers, he's selling them out with his incoherent trade war. His failed trade policy has punished our producers and threatened America's global leadership in agriculture.
That's why I'm joining my colleagues to urge FEMA to deliver the federal resources communities need to respond to and prevent devastating wildfires. Any delay in resources leaves us exposed, not just to the fires burning today, but to disasters ahead.
