Thrilled to hear that the Denver Broncos are staying close. I cannot wait to see our team make us proud in their new stadium.
Broncos Owners Greg Penner & Carrie Walton Penner join civic leaders in embracing “win-win-win” with Denver’s Burnham Yard identified as the preferred site for a privately funded world-class stadium development driving economic opportunity for generations to come.
Wildfire season is no longer a season, and wildland firefighters are now bravely risking their lives year-round to protect our communities. That’s why I am pushing to raise wildland firefighters’ annual pay cap and ensure they are fairly compensated for their dangerous work.
Congratulations on the grand opening of the Boys & Girls Club of Larimer County's Loveland Youth Campus! I’m glad to have helped secure funding for this center to provide families with the high-quality, affordable childcare and youth development programs that are critical to their kids’ success.
As climate change threatens the health of Colorado’s forests and watersheds, we must invest in and protect the water that communities across our state rely on. The bipartisan Headwaters Protection Act will safeguard water in Colorado and across the West for generations to come.
I will continue fighting for bipartisan measures, including in the annual defense bill, to bolster the security of our allies on NATO’s eastern flank. (2/2)
This is President Trump's economy: fewer jobs, rising unemployment, and higher prices for families already struggling to get by. The alarm bells are going off. If we don’t change course, Trump & his advisors will continue to drag our economy into a recession. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Dreamers are active members of our communities and deserve protection from intimidation, arrest, and deportation by immigration enforcement. The Department of Homeland Security must follow the law and uphold the rights of all DACA holders.
Parents, schools, and teachers deserve the truth about vaccines, and they deserve better than Secretary Kennedy’s boldfaced lies. His incompetence puts Colorado kids at risk. He must resign.
I stand with Colorado's leaders who are fighting back against the Trump Administration's unlawful attempts to keep VOCA funds from the Colorado survivors who need them. (2/2)
VOCA funds help ensure crime victims can access emergency shelter, sexual assault exams, funeral funds, and counseling. Withholding federal VOCA dollars is a slap in the face to survivors of violent crimes. (1/2)
Colorado’s watersheds provide clean drinking water to every corner of our state and are vital to the survival of our economy and way of life. That’s why I introduced a bipartisan bill to protect our water for communities up and downstream for generations to come.
As Trump continues to drive up costs and amass billions of dollars in wealth, the American Dream is being pushed farther away from working families. Americans deserve an economy that works for everyone & a guarantee that, if they work hard, they can create a better life for their families.
“Today’s decision to move U.S Space Command’s headquarters out of Colorado and to Alabama will directly harm our state and the nation. We are united in fighting to reverse this decision.” Read the Colorado congressional delegation's full statement on Space Command's relocation here.
Happy Labor Day, Colorado! Today is a reminder of all that labor unions have accomplished for American workers, from the 8-hour workday to an established minimum wage. We must keep fighting for workers rights, today and every day.
Republicans' reckless funding cuts to public broadcasting are threatening the emergency alert systems that Colorado’s rural and tribal communities depend on. Without it, families across our state will lose access to life-saving information when they need it the most.
Since 2008, the Anheuser-Busch brewery in Fort Collins has canned fresh water for disaster-struck communities across the country – reaching over 100 million cans of water this year. Thank you for the warm welcome and chance to discuss how we can best support Colorado’s breweries & their workforces.
