Republicans must stop stonewalling Democrats and negotiate an end to their government shutdown.
Failing to extend the ACA health care tax credits will create a huge amount of misery for working families already facing Republicans’ dangerous cuts to Medicaid.

I just voted NO against Republicans’ fourth attempt to steamroll Democrats with their CR.
Republicans must negotiate with Democrats and prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing.
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:
I will keep fighting to make health care affordable for working families and end this Republican shutdown. (2/2)
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)
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)
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)
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.
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.
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)
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)
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.
For the sake of our kids, we must commit to working together to create a future free from gun violence. (2/2)
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)
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.
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.
