That's why I introduced a bill to give Congress the power to override the President’s denial of disaster aid, so communities get help when they need it most; not when it’s politically convenient.
President Trump is weaponizing disaster relief against Colorado communities. Trump rejected disaster aid after a record wildfire season and continues to block funding to help Colorado prevent potentially catastrophic fires ahead. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...
Across Colorado, we're in crisis: our teachers face the highest pay gap in the nation and can no longer afford to live in our state. I won't stop fighting for Colorado teachers to earn competitive wages, access affordable housing, and continue to teach in the communities they love.
President Trump has decimated Colorado's public lands workforce.  Our forests drive our outdoor rec economy and provide clean drinking water for millions of people. Gutting the workforce that manages these critical resources puts all of us at risk, especially as we head into peak fire season.
On National Nurse Day, we thank our nurses who show up every day to care for our communities. Day in and day out, our nurses navigate a health care system in crisis: rural hospitals closing their doors, Medicaid under attack, families bankrupted by medical bills.
Last year, Colorado faced historic flooding and fires. President Trump's response: withhold emergency relief as political retaliation against Colorado communities.
Glad to join community leaders in Aurora to celebrate construction of the East Colfax Avenue Bus Rapid Transit line.  By investing in affordable and reliable transit, we're making it easier for Coloradans to live, work, and raise their families here. www.denvergazette.com/2026/05/01/a...
Last year, Senate Republicans tried to sell off 3 million acres of public lands in a massive land grab that would’ve devastated Colorado and the West. I introduced the Public Lands Integrity Act to stop future sell-offs through fast-tracked, backroom budget deals. We must protect our public lands.
2026 has been the worst year on record for Colorado's snowpack. @neguse.house.gov and I are pressing the Trump Administration to step up wildfire preparedness efforts and equip Coloradans to respond to unprecedented risks this fire season.
Five months into the year, and our country has already experienced a record-breaking 22,000 fires. @bennet.senate.gov and I are imploring Federal agencies to take comprehensive action to better prepare the Rocky Mountain West for a potentially devastating wildfire season 👇🏽
I'm leading my colleagues to demand the Trump Administration immediately restore sanctions on Russian oil. Pausing these sanctions didn't lower gas prices—which are up over 50% in Colorado because of President Trump's reckless war in Iran. It only bankrolled Putin's war in Ukraine.
President Trump’s cruel immigration policies are tearing families apart. We’ve seen ICE detain young children and use them to pressure parents into cooperating.
In Aurora yesterday: the community broke ground on the next phase of the East Colfax Bus Rapid Transit line, made possible by a $150 million investment from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill.
