Eid Mubarak, Colorado! Wishing our Colorado Muslim community a joyful celebration of Eid al-Adha. May this holiday be filled with faith, community, and peace.
I'm working with Rep. Jason Crow to expand Colorado's approach nationwide, helping communities around the country better respond to mental health crises while strengthening public safety.
Coloradans are paying 60% more at the pump because of President Trump’s reckless war. He is forcing Colorado families to make an impossible choice between a full tank of gas or food on the table. Trump must end this war NOW.
We honor his memory by refusing to look away and by strengthening our resolve to continue the work ahead. Public safety and justice go hand in hand, and our work is not finished.
Six years ago, George Floyd was murdered. His death forced Americans across our nation to reckon with truths about race and with what too many Black and Brown communities have experienced for generations: that the systems meant to protect and serve people have too often failed them.
This Memorial Day, we honor the more than 6,000 Coloradans who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. When America and our allies needed them, they answered the call — leaving behind the mountains, plains, and communities they loved to defend freedom around the world.
Today, we remember the brave Americans who served our country, especially as we mark two milestones this year: 150 years of Colorado statehood and 250 years of the United States of America.
Secretary of Defense Hegseth must immediately release Congressionally appropriated funds for Ukraine and our Baltic allies. I’m joining bipartisan colleagues to demand it. Withholding these funds signals weakness to Putin — not peace through strength. apnews.com/article/cong...
This Memorial Day weekend, I joined Gold Star families, veterans, and service members at the Colorado Freedom Memorial to honor over 6,000 Coloradans who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
This is a big day for one of the most important water conservation efforts in our state’s history. Read my statement on welcoming $40 million in Shoshone Permanency Project funding after years of hard work with local leaders across the Western Slope ⬇️
President Trump is amassing a $1.8 billion slush fund to funnel taxpayer dollars into his MAGA loyalists – 
including the January 6th rioters and CO’s top election denier Tina Peters.

I am fighting tooth and nail to stop Trump’s cronies and election deniers from cashing in on taxpayer dollars.
Even members of his own party can’t stomach his abuse of taxpayer dollars. Trump's slush fund shouldn't exist. Taxpayer dollars should never go to pay out Trump's political allies or convicted criminals like Tina Peters.
Cargill plays a vital role in Colorado’s economy and communities, made possible by the people who work there. I stand with Teamsters Local 455 and urge both parties to return to the table to come to a mutually satisfactory agreement.
Coloradans are now paying over 60% more for gas than before President Trump launched his reckless war with Iran. Trump has since repeatedly paused sanctions on Russian oil — which has not lowered prices for American families, but has bankrolled Putin's war in Ukraine.
