Congratulations to Mark Carney on his election as Canadian Prime Minister. As President Trump alienates our allies with his costly trade war and chaotic foreign policy, it’s more important than ever to strengthen U.S.-Canada cooperation.
After 75 years, a Colorado soldier killed in the Korean War will return home to be laid to rest. I’m thinking of U.S. Army Sergeant Orace Mestas’ family and loved ones. I’m grateful this American hero will finally receive the recognition and dignity he deserves.
Global immunizations have saved 154 million lives in the last 50 years – one life every 10 seconds. World Immunization Week reminds us that we must keep fighting for the immunization programs that make America safer, healthier, and more prosperous.
I’m thinking of the victims, their families, and all those affected by the horrific terrorist attack in Kashmir earlier this week. I stand with our friends in India and around the world in condemning this senseless violence against civilians.
After my town hall in Grand Junction last night, one thing is clear: Coloradans are fed up with the Trump administration’s chaos. From combating President Trump’s trade war to funding public education, we must keep fighting to protect our state for every Coloradan.
Ukraine accepted President Trump’s 30-day ceasefire proposal in March. Putin rejected it and continues to pummel Ukraine – including with today’s attack on Kyiv, Russia’s deadliest strike on the city in nearly a year. Russia is the obstacle to peace, not Ukraine.
Across Colorado, rural health care providers face numerous challenges, from workforce shortages to financial strain. Representative Jeff Hurd and I sat down with some providers to discuss how we can help them better serve their communities.
President Trump’s trade war threatens the U.S. economy and our relationships with key partners. Meanwhile, Senator Bill Cassidy and I are working on our bipartisan Americas Act to renew U.S. partnerships and create joint economic prosperity across the Western Hemisphere.
Our state has so much to offer, and I'm thankful every day to be surrounded by so much natural beauty. Now more than ever, we must continue our fight to protect the public lands that define our state and the civil servants who manage them. #EarthDay
Pope Francis was one of the most remarkable leaders of our time – from taking action to protect our planet to promoting the human dignity of all people. His loss is one that is felt around the world.
I enjoyed snowshoeing last week on the beautiful Colorado Trail. It’s always great to explore our state’s incredible public lands and discuss how we’re working to preserve these landscapes for future generations of Coloradans.
Pete Hegseth’s continuing contempt for our intelligence community and abdication of his duty to our armed forces and the American people are completely unacceptable – and dangerous. President Trump must remove him immediately.
26 years ago, the Columbine shooting left 12 Colorado students and a teacher dead, and altered the lives of many others. As we remember the lives lost that day, let’s stand united in our commitment to freeing every child from the threat of gun violence.
Head Start supports over 40M American children each year, including thousands in Colorado. As we face a child care crisis, cutting Head Start would be devastating, especially for our rural communities. With my CO colleagues, I’m urging President Trump to preserve funding for this crucial program.
It was great to join @pettersen.house.gov for a town hall in Salida Wednesday night. As we continue working together to counter President Trump’s shortsighted efforts and improve our state for every Coloradan, I’m grateful to all those who showed up to have their voices heard.
