In October, I joined my colleagues to call for the permanent increase of automatic extensions for immigrant and asylum-seeker work permits. I’m glad DHS heard our calls to eliminate red tape for the sake of U.S. employers and the workers who keep our economy strong.
Great news: our Good Samaritan Remediation of Abandoned Hardrock Mines Act passed the House. I’m grateful for the strong bipartisan support for this common sense legislation – I look forward to President Biden signing it into law.
Thousands of abandoned mines pollute our ecosystems and threaten our watersheds in Colorado and across the West. I urge my House colleagues to vote in support of our bipartisan bill to clean up these mines, reduce pollution, and improve water quality.
Thousands of abandoned mines pollute our ecosystems and threaten our watersheds in Colorado and across the West. I urge my House colleagues to vote in support of our bipartisan bill to clean up these mines, reduce pollution, and improve water quality.
Today, my legislation to help Good Samaritans clean up long-abandoned hardrock mines faces its final hurdle before it goes to the President's desk. I urge all of my colleagues in the House of Representatives to vote YES on this bipartisan, commonsense bill.
We can’t risk an oil train derailment in the Colorado River. That’s why I've long pushed against the proposed Uinta Basin Railway. As SCOTUS hears arguments on this dangerous project today, I’ll continue standing with community and local leaders to oppose it.
Congratulations and welcome to the two newest members of the Senate, Adam Schiff and Andy Kim - the first Korean American senator in our country's history. I look forward to working with both of these incredible public servants to tackle our country’s most pressing issues.
83 years ago, the horrific attack on Pearl Harbor claimed the lives of nearly 2,500 U.S. service members. We are forever indebted to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice that day.
As our partners and allies deepen economic ties, the U.S. cannot stay on the sidelines and go it alone. My and Senator Bill Cassidy's Americas Act will promote economic and national security and renew critical partnerships across Latin America and the Caribbean.
As Colorado faces historic drought, we must act to safeguard clean water for future generations. These Bipartisan Infrastructure Law investments will revitalize aging water delivery systems across the West and help ensure Coloradans have access to a safe, reliable water supply.
🚨Great news: My new website is officially live! Head to bennet.senate.gov to see how I’m advancing Coloradans’ priorities and get up-to-date information on everything from student resources to tour requests to help with agencies.
Space Command expanding its operational capacity in Colorado is essential to U.S. national security. I'm glad Delta 15 will continue its mission at Schriever Space Force Base to preserve our country's military readiness and protect our superiority in space.
Globally, nearly 1 in 3 women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence – including millions of women across the United States. For U.S. residents affected by intimate partner violence, get 24/7 support at 1-800-799-7233 or by texting "START" to 88788.
As a former school superintendent, I know how important it is for every student to have a plan for success - and apprenticeships help ensure every graduate can earn a living wage. Learn more about Colorado's Registered Apprenticeship Programs ⬇️
