Coloradans know too well how harmful wildfire smoke is to long-term health and quality of life. As wildfires like those impacting Los Angeles grow more frequent and destructive, my bill will help vulnerable communities protect themselves from toxic smoke’s lasting damage.
Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his lifelong efforts to make America more just, more fair, and more free. As we look toward the future, it's up to all of us to keep Dr. King’s brave vision for peace and equality alive. #MLKDay
Earlier this month, we celebrated nearly $112M for Colorado infrastructure including millions for Pitkin County and RFTA to improve local roadways and connectivity. These critical investments will support Colorado as we work to meet our state’s changing needs.
Colorado has welcomed $3.4B from the USDA for rural electric co-ops, farmers, and small businesses from the Inflation Reduction Act. These investments will help our state continue to cut pollution, spur rural economic growth, and deliver reliable, affordable energy to rural communities.
I am pleased that Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement brokered by the U.S., in cooperation with Egypt and Qatar. This deal will reunite dozens of hostages with their loved ones, result in a mutual ceasefire, and deliver critical aid to civilians in Gaza. Full statement⬇️
As fires continue to devastate Southern California, Coloradans are stepping up to help local crews meet this challenge and protect communities across the area. I’m grateful for their brave efforts.
The Loretto Heights Community Center is an incredible example of what can happen when Colorado communities and our federal partners come together with a shared goal. It was great to celebrate new Inflation Reduction Act funding for this important Southwest Denver project.
✅Nearly $112M secured from DOT for infrastructure projects across Colorado. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act continue to support Colorado as we work to meet our state’s changing needs – from improving roadways to strengthening local economies.
As we kick off 2025, @booker.senate.gov and I are looking forward to working with our colleagues to extend critical lifelines like the expanded Child Tax Credit to families across the country. To hear what else is on our minds, listen to our full conversation below ⬇️ youtu.be/R9zZbDbSmQs?...
It was great to join the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and CO leaders this morning for Boots N' Business. We kicked off the National Western Stock Show and learned more about expanded pathways for young Coloradans to pursue their education in agriculture, rural medicine, and veterinary science.
The arrest of María Corina Machado is unacceptable. Nicolás Maduro has flagrantly refused to recognize the will of the Venezuelan people and brutally repressed those fighting for a free Venezuela. I will continue to stand with the Venezuelan people against his brutality.
I'm thinking of all those affected by the wildfires in Southern California. As this disaster continues to threaten homes, businesses, and schools across the region, I'm grateful for the brave efforts of first responders to keep communities safe.
More than 13 years after Congress repealed ‘Don't Ask, Don’t Tell', I'm glad the DoD is taking this long-overdue step. I'll keep working with the next administration to recognize the sacrifices made by all of America's brave LGBTQ+ veterans.
From fighting for a fair economy, to safely harnessing the potential of artificial intelligence, to Wicked, there is a lot on our minds as U.S. Senators. Tune in later this week to hear @booker.senate.gov and I break it all down. #SenatorsOnSenators
