REMINDER: My town hall in Steamboat Springs with Rep. Joe Neguse starts at 3:00 PM MT today. I look forward to speaking with Coloradans about the issues they care about most. If you didn't register to attend in-person, you can tune in via the livestream on my Facebook page. ⬇️
Clear-eyed, tough-nosed diplomacy is ultimately the only way to end this war. Read my full statement ahead of today’s meeting between President Trump, President Zelensky, and other European leaders below:
As wildfire seasons become longer and more devastating, we must invest in wildfire mitigation. It will save lives, property, and money for Coloradans across the state.
This August marks five years since the start of the Cameron Peak Fire - Colorado's largest wildfire to date - in Larimer County. After 112 days and tens of thousands of acres of land effected, firefighters contained the flames.
3 years ago, the Inflation Reduction Act made the largest climate & clean energy investment in our country's history. I will continue to fight back as Republicans attempt to abandon the historic progress we’ve made to lower energy costs, make communities healthier, and create a clean energy future.
Next Tuesday, August 19th, at 3 PM, I'm hosting an in-person town hall in Steamboat Springs! I'm looking forward to hearing directly from Coloradans about the issues that matter the most to them. Sign up below to attend ⬇️
The North American Wetlands Conservation Act is essential to protecting wetlands and wildlife. I’m glad Colorado will benefit from $9 million in funding to restore habitat along the South Platte and on public and private lands from the Front Range to the prairie.
Social Security is the commitment we make to every American after a lifetime of work. For 90 years, it has helped millions of Americans retire with dignity. As Republican cuts threaten this vital program, we must keep fighting to protect it.
Decades of tax cuts for the wealthy and trickle-down economics have abandoned working families and left their children to pay back trillions of dollars in debt. The Republican Budget Bill is no different and trades investments in the next generation for deeper wealth inequality today.
The recent acts of gun violence across the country remind us that we must recommit ourselves to building a future free from these tragedies. Americans should be able to go to work, shop for groceries, and send their kids to school without fear of senseless gun violence.
3 years ago, the PACT Act became law – the largest expansion of health care benefits for veterans in decades. We must honor our veterans’ sacrifices and continue fighting to ensure they can access the high-quality health care they deserve.
President Trump's outrageous misuse of export controls risks allowing China to secure advanced semiconductors, including for military applications – posing risks to U.S. national security. Trump must not sell out the American people for this unaccountable profit-sharing scheme.

President Trump deployed the D.C. National Guard to address what he calls a surge in violent crime. The reality is this is a baseless power grab to take federal control of a city in order to distract from his unpopular and disastrous polices.
The Republican Budget Bill could slash critical food and nutrition assistance for hundreds of thousands of Colorado families. As Republicans cut vital safety net programs for those who need them most, I will use every tool at my disposal to ensure Colorado families can put food on the table.
As students head back to their classrooms this month, I will keep pushing to ensure Colorado’s schools have all they need to prepare their students for the future. Thank you to the teachers & school administrators for your hard work gearing up for a successful school year.
Three years ago, we passed the CHIPS and Science Act to reinvest in next-generation technology and bring advanced manufacturing back to America. As a result, Colorado has created hundreds of good-paying jobs in vital industries and continues to lead the way in technologies of the future.
I am closely monitoring the Lee and Elk wildfires in Rio Blanco County. My thoughts are with the Town of Meeker, the evacuees, and the people who have lost their homes. Thank you to our brave firefighters and first responders working on the ground to protect Northwest Colorado.
