Earlier this week, I urged USDA to support Colorado’s livestock producers affected by this summer’s fires. I am grateful to see yesterday’s announcement offering assistance to agricultural producers in Colorado. (1/2)
Six years ago, U.S. Space Command, the 11th combatant command, was established to advance U.S. interests in space. Colorado proudly hosts Space Command, to which our military community and civilians contribute every day. Our national security is stronger as a result.
I’m devastated to hear about the horrific shooting at Annunciation Catholic School this morning. My thoughts are with the victims and everyone affected by this senseless act. Parents and their children shouldn’t have to live in fear of being killed in school or church.
Families in Colorado and across the country rely on the HUD Denver Regional Office for critical housing support. That’s why I led my colleagues to demand answers from the Trump Administration on the lease termination of this office and how it will impact the agency’s vital housing programs.
As wildfires destroy pastures and harm livestock across Colorado, we must use every tool at hand to support our livestock producers. That's why I called on the USDA to act quickly and help our producers recover from this summer’s devastating fires.
Today, we celebrate 105 years since the 19th Amendment was adopted, protecting women's right to vote in the U.S. This Women's Equality Day is a reminder of the countless women whose bravery & persistence made this milestone possible. We must keep fighting to achieve true equality for all.
For 109 years, the National Park Service has protected our most treasured public lands for future generations to inherit and enjoy. Their work preserving Colorado’s national parks, from Mesa Verde to Rocky Mountain, is vital to who we are in Colorado. Happy Birthday to our National Park Service.
NEW LOCATION: The Colorado Passport Agency will close at its current location this Tuesday, Aug. 26th, & reopen at its new location on Sept. 2nd: 7245 S. Havanna St., Suite B-600, Centennial, CO 80112 Passport services, including emergency appointments, will be unavailable during the relocation.
It was inspiring to hear from Cañon City High School students about how their career pathways program is helping them plan for the future and earn a living wage after graduation. Thank you to Fremont County’s leaders for your hard work supporting this program and our students.
It was great to join @crow.house.gov at last night’s Aurora Town Hall and hear directly from Coloradans on issues from protecting our public lands to regulating AI and preserving our democracy. Together, we can make Colorado a leader for the country in addressing these challenges.
This innovative project once again puts Colorado’s rural communities at the forefront of the clean energy transition, and will help drive economic growth while providing reliable and affordable heating and cooling for local businesses. (2/2)
From taking constituent calls to helping with legislative priorities, I can safely say my offices would not function without our interns. I was glad to meet with our incredible Denver summer interns this week and thank them for their hard work on behalf of Colorado.
The Trump administration's decision to rescind guidance requiring schools to accommodate English learners is a blatant attempt to make education less accessible. This administration's continued attacks on English learners fly in the face of our country's values.
Thank you to all who showed up last night to make their voices heard. Visiting with Coloradans has always been my favorite part of my job. I look forward to taking these conversations with me as I continue to fight for our state. (2/2)
Last night in Steamboat Springs with Rep. Joe Neguse, I held my 13th town hall in 2025. Since March, I have met with over 5,200 constituents in-person. (1/2)
It was great to speak at the annual Colorado Water Congress Summer Conference alongside my Colorado Congressional colleagues. As climate change continues to intensify the Western water crisis, I will keep fighting to protect the water Coloradans rely on for the generations to come.
Colorado, join me for an in-person town hall in Aurora with @crow.house.gov this Thursday, August 21st at 7:00 PM MT. The best part of my job is hearing from Coloradans about how to make our state stronger. If you can't join us in person, the event will be livestreamed.
Looking forward to taking your questions at my next town hall with @bennet.senate.gov in Aurora! Join us on Thursday: crow.house.gov/news/events
