This bill ends an unfair double standard and ensures that early childhood educators are provided the same tax benefits available to K-12 teachers.

As the former Superintendent of Denver Public Schools, I know firsthand how often educators dip into their own pockets to provide school supplies for their students.
I am glad to see my bipartisan SEED Act pass alongside the Senate's Russia sanctions bill.

The Senate just passed our bipartisan bill to put more pressure on Putin and stand firmly with the Ukrainian people.
The House must pass it in September — and the Senate must do everything we can to continue supporting Ukraine.

It is our responsibility to recognize their service, including by passing the Purple Heart Veterans Education Act, which would ensure that every Purple Heart recipient can transfer their earned benefits to support their family’s education and success.
On Purple Heart Day, we honor and remember the nearly two million servicemembers who have earned the Purple Heart for their sacrifices in defense of our nation.
As President Trump continues to push his voter suppression bill that would restrict mail-in voting and undermine the voting rights of millions of Americans, we continue our fight to defend Colorado’s gold standard election system against Trump’s baseless attacks and conspiracy theories.
Today, we celebrate the 61st Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act and honor the generations who fought to secure the fundamental right to vote for every American.
This legislation will provide new tools and resources for partners at every level to address this growing outbreak and protect communities on Colorado’s Front Range.
We must work together to keep our forests healthy and mitigate wildfire risk, which is why I introduced the Emergency Mountain Pine Beetle Response and Coordination Act.
Colorado’s warming weather and prolonged drought have created the perfect conditions for the spread of the mountain pine beetle in Ponderosa pine forests across the state.

Read my full statement on the Farm Bill failing to advance in Committee ⬇️
Today, with deep disappointment, I voted against the 2026 Farm Bill in the Senate Agriculture Committee. I could not support the bill as written, but I remain committed to finding a bipartisan path forward that works for Colorado families, communities, and farmers.
That's why I'm working with Senator Husted to introduce the bipartisan First-Time Home Buyer Empowerment Act, helping first-time homebuyers overcome one of the biggest barriers to homeownership by allowing them to use savings they already have to cover a down payment.
Across Colorado, the rising cost of housing continues to push homeownership further out of reach for young people and working families.
We must continue standing with Coloradans who have borne the brunt of this dangerous pollution and protect the health and well-being of every family living nearby.
I'm glad the court upheld the right of North Denver and Commerce City residents to hold Suncor accountable to the law and fight for clean air in their communities.
Suncor has a long history of violating emission limits, releasing toxic pollutants that disproportionately impact the neighborhoods surrounding its Commerce City refinery.
That's why I'm glad to join my colleagues to introduce the Wildfire Air Quality Sensor Expansion Act, which will help state, local, and Tribal agencies monitor worsening air pollution from wildfires and make better public health decisions.
As Colorado faces one of the most severe wildfire seasons on record, Coloradans are worried not just about fire growth and destruction, but about the health risks that come with poor air quality.
