Colorado: If you receive a letter from your health insurer stating your premiums will skyrocket next year, please call our office to share your story. We must shine a light on the harm Republicans will do if they allow the ACA health care tax credits to expire and force premiums to double.

“Yesterday, in a nakedly political action, President Trump’s Department of Energy cancelled nearly $8 billion for sixteen Democratic states, including millions of dollars of federal funding for Colorado." Read my full statement on the targeted cancellation of Colorado's energy project funding:

Bennet Statement on Cancelled Colorado Energy Projects - U.S. Senator Michael Bennet

Washington, D.C. — Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet issued a statement following the Trump Administration’s targeted cancellation of billions of dollars in funding for energy projects across the c...

I will keep fighting to make health care affordable for working families and end this Republican shutdown. (2/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 3(source)

Coloradans are seeing Republicans’ Medicaid and SNAP cuts up close as their neighbors are denied essential health care and food assistance. Now, Republicans have forced a shutdown to double healthcare premiums for millions more. (1/2)

In Some States, Strapped Counties Must Impose Trump’s Medicaid Cuts

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 2(source)

Republicans cannot let ACA tax credits expire and force Coloradans, already struggling to get by, to pay even higher premiums. It’s past time they came to the table, negotiated, and put an end to this government shutdown. (2/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 2(source)

Trump and Republicans are lying about immigrants to distract from the truth. Undocumented immigrants have never been eligible for federal funding under ACA, Medicaid, or Medicare. (1/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 2(source)

During this government shutdown, my offices will remain open and ready to serve all Coloradans. If you need assistance with a federal agency or have questions about the potential impacts of the shutdown, please don't hesitate to give us a call. My team is here to help.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 1(source)

We cannot allow the Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire and for healthcare premiums to skyrocket for Coloradans as they’re already struggling to get by. Republicans need to prioritize lowering costs for working families and put an end to this shutdown.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 1(source)

President Trump's suggestion that the U.S. military use American cities as "training grounds" is dangerous and unacceptable. This is wannabe authoritarian rhetoric that we must all reject.

Communities are living in fear of raids, officers hiding behind masks, and stops based only on suspicion. Instead of silencing culture, we should be uplifting it. (2/2)

The Senate unanimously passed a resolution celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month and the contributions of our Hispanic communities. Sadly, this #HispanicHeritageMonth, too many families are afraid to celebrate. (1/2)

Many Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations scrapped due to ICE raid fears, changed political climate

ICE raids, the federally led English-only initiative and an anti-DEI push have changed the national climate in which Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations occur -- when they do at all.

As hundreds of thousands of federal employees and service members are now forced to work without pay, I’m refusing to accept my own. Republicans must do their jobs, come to the table to negotiate, and end this government shutdown.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 1(source)

For the sake of our kids, we must commit to working together to create a future free from gun violence. (2/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govOct 1(source)

Tonight, the Senate unanimously passed my resolution condemning the tragic shooting at Evergreen High School on September 10th. My thoughts remain with the victims who are still healing, the brave first responders who saved countless lives, and the entire Evergreen community. (1/2)

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govSep 30(source)

President Trump and Republicans are refusing to negotiate with Democrats to prevent healthcare costs from skyrocketing and avoid a government shutdown. A shutdown will be on President Trump’s shoulders – and he agrees.

Exposure to wildfire smoke can create lifelong health issues, years after the wildfire has been extinguished. We are on track to lose hundreds of Coloradans each year if we don’t treat long-term wildfire risks and invest in protecting our communities from deadly wildfire smoke.

Study projects hundreds of wildfire smoke deaths a year in Colorado by 2050

In a projected moderate warming scenario, Colorado would see 529 additional deaths annually around midcentury.

Rio Blanco County faces ongoing threats to its economy and safety from one of the worst fires in our state’s history. That’s why I'm urging President Trump to declare a Major Disaster and deliver the federal assistance this community needs to recover.

25 years ago, the FDA approved mifepristone as a safe and trusted drug for medication abortions. As access to this trusted medication is threatened, I will continue to fight for women’s reproductive freedoms and the right to safe and legal reproductive care.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govSep 27(source)

Colorado is the most beautiful state in America thanks to our incredible public lands. Today, we celebrate National Public Lands Day as a reminder of our shared responsibility to conserve the public lands we love and continue fighting to protect them for future generations of Coloradans.
