It’s always a pleasure to see familiar faces and catch up with our youngest Coloradans.
I was glad to see Sarah and her daughter at my Steamboat Town Hall last month and hear all about Alden’s first day of school.
They grow up so fast!

Social Security is a commitment to every American that they can retire with security and dignity after a lifetime of work.
That’s why I'm fighting to reverse President Trump’s disastrous cuts to the Social Security Administration and protect Coloradans' well-earned benefits.
We must channel the raw emotions of our children — their terror, their anger — and summon the will to get something done. (2/2)
As Evergreen High School reels from last week’s horrific shooting, every elementary and middle school student in Colorado is wondering if they are next.
Our kids deserve to grow up and go to school without constant fear of gun violence. (1/2)
Kennedy’s politicization and pressure to upend the childhood vaccine schedule threaten the health of children all across our country.
We must follow her example and hold the line for science. There is too much at stake. (2/2)
Fired CDC Director Monarez’s testimony today exposes Secretary Kennedy’s incompetent leadership for what it is: mired in conspiracy, blatantly political, and dangerous. (1/2)
Teachers will do anything to ensure their students succeed, often dipping into their personal accounts to cover needed school supplies.
That’s why I’m pushing for all educators, especially those teaching our youngest kids, to be able to deduct these costs from their taxes.
Good News: After demanding answers from HUD and GSA on their plans to vacate the HUD Denver Regional Office, they reversed course.
I’m glad this office will remain open and continue to provide critical housing support for families in Colorado and across the country.
I am working with my colleagues on an alternative proposal to ensure Coloradans continue to benefit from vital Affordable Care Act tax credits.
We should also fight to restore the damaging Medicaid cuts the Trump Administration passed as part of its cruel reconciliation package. (2/2)
The House’s temporary budget does nothing to meet the health care needs of the American people. If the House Bill comes before the Senate, I will vote NO. (1/2)
I was glad to meet with CO Springs’ civic and business leaders to discuss the path forward for our veterans, service members, businesses, and families. (2/2)
Colorado Springs is facing unprecedented challenges from the relocation of Space Command to the burdens of rising costs and uncertainty from President Trump’s trade war. (1/2)
Zebra mussels are a serious threat to our ecosystems and outdoor recreation economy, and I’m glad to have passed legislation to detect and stop the spread of this invasive species.
Now that they have infested the Colorado River, we must use every tool available to eradicate these pests.
I've long backed the bipartisan extensions of AGOA and HOPE/HELP, crucial trade programs that bolster U.S. investments in sub-Saharan Africa and Haiti, respectively.
Congress must act to renew them before they expire this month.
Colorado would not be the greatest state in the union without the deep roots of our Hispanic communities.
During Hispanic Heritage Month, let’s continue to uplift Hispanic voices across the country and celebrate Hispanic communities’ contributions to our state’s history and culture.
When Crystal Lake was drained in 2024, the City of Ouray lost a critical water supply and pillar for the local economy.
That’s why I am pushing to transfer ownership to the City so they can repair and refill the reservoir, ensuring the protection of this local treasure for future generations.
President Trump’s use of the military to punish political opposition in cities across the country is a blatant abuse of power.
I joined my colleagues to push the Court to stop Trump’s orders and keep unlawful military deployments out of our cities.

Following this week’s tragedy at Evergreen High School, it is important to find ongoing support for ourselves and our loved ones.
Information and resources are available to Jefferson County families below:
I introduced the bipartisan SHRED Act to reinvest ski fees from Colorado's iconic ski areas directly into the national forests that drive tourism, support local jobs, and power the economies of our mountain towns.
As this bill moves through Congress, we must push to get it across the finish line.
My office is now accepting applications for the Spring 2026 Senate Page program.
My time as a Senate page gave me a deep appreciation for public service and how the Senate works for the American people.
Interested high school juniors should apply by Oct. 1. ⬇️
