As negotiations continue, I urge both parties to come to a mutually satisfactory agreement that delivers long-term stability for Colorado workers, and recognizes the role JBS plays in Northern Colorado’s economy.

I have talked with leadership from UFCW Local 7 and JBS and know that both want to reach a deal. I strongly support the right of workers to unionize and collectively bargain.

Six Coloradans will be competing for Team USA at the Paralympic Games in Milano Cortina!

From para alpine skiing to sled hockey, these athletes represent the very best of our state. I look forward to cheering for our Paralympians as they go for the gold!

Kristi Noem was in no way qualified to run DHS, and she should never have been put in charge of such a critical agency responsible for protecting our national security, enforcing immigration laws, and responding to domestic emergencies.

Trump’s reckless trade war sent prices skyrocketing for Colorado families, undercut our farmers, and increased uncertainty for our small businesses. Coloradans paid the price for these tariffs. It’s time for this Administration to pay them back.

Companies are entitled to refunds for Trump tariffs struck down by Supreme Court, judge rules A federal court in New York ruled Wednesday that businesses that paid emergency tariffs invalidated by the Supreme Court are eligible for refunds.

The courts have made it clear: the Trump Administration must return the tariff fees it collected from companies and small businesses across the countryβ€”with interest.

Today, I voted yes on the War Powers Resolution requiring President Trump to remove U.S. troops from waging war against against Iran without Congressional authorization – which Senate Republicans blocked. Read my statement ⬇️

Happy 303 Day, Colorado!

In 1947, 303 became one of North America's original area codes, connecting Colorado from the Eastern Plains to Western Slope. Every March 3rd, we celebrate Colorado and the growth that's taken us from one area code to many.

Mercury causes permanent brain damage in infants and children, and can damage vital organs and weaken immune systems at any age.

Ignoring the real health consequences of these pollutants is unethical and dangerous. I won't stop fighting to protect clean air and public health in Colorado.

E.P.A. Weakens Limits on Mercury From Coal Plants

The EPA just rolled back air pollution standards for coal- and oil-fired power plants, allowing more mercury, heavy metals, and soot into our air while eliminating the requirement to monitor these toxins being released into our communities.

As I said on Saturday, the Trump Administration must explain immediately how it plans to prevent its war with Iran from endangering the lives of American troops by destabilizing Iran and the region.

Susan and I are keeping in our thoughts the brave American servicemembers killed and wounded in action in the Middle East. Their sacrifice is a stark reminder of the human cost of decisions made in Washington to go to war.

As we celebrate the extraordinary contributions of women in Colorado, we must reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the advancement of equal rights, equal pay, and the freedom of women to make decisions about their own health.

From the suffragettes to the women on the front lines of today's fight for civil rights, this March we will be highlighting the remarkable women who have shaped the course of Colorado history.

The Trump Administration must explain immediately how it plans to prevent its war with Iran from creating a chain reaction that hopelessly destabilizes the country or ignites a regional conflagration that jeopardizes the lives of American troops.

Read my statement on the President’s war in Iran:

In the 1860s, Lewis and Frederick Douglass Jr., sons of the abolitionist and civil rights pioneer, Frederick Douglass, headed west to Denver.

The Douglass brothers founded Colorado's first Black school β€” an entire century before schools were desegregated across America.

Casey Means has repeatedly questioned the safety of childhood vaccines β€” despite overwhelming scientific evidence of their safety β€” and has called birth control pills a "disrespect of life."

I will oppose her nomination and push back against this administration's dangerous anti-science agenda.

Trump's Surgeon General nominee is wholly unqualified to lead the nation in making informed public health decisions.

Supreme Court rules against private prison firm facing forced-work suit from immigration detainees in Colorado WASHINGTON β€”Β The Supreme CourtΒ on Wednesday ruled against a private prison company facing a lawsuit alleging immigration detainees were forced to work and paid only $1 a day in Colorado.

Private prison contractors profiting from people detained at the Aurora detention facility is a moral failure we cannot ignore.

I will keep fighting for real accountability, transparency, and human dignity at every level of our immigration process.

I will continue to oppose Steve Pearce’s nomination.

Pearce has shown he will be the first to sell off our public lands which sustain Colorado’s economy and way of life. He will be an enforcer of Trump's reckless 'drill baby drill' policies and demolish the protections that ensure our kids and grandkids will benefit from public lands as we do today.

Steve Pearce’s nomination to lead the Bureau of Land Management is an insult to all Coloradans.

Coloradans have witnessed the reality: American citizens shot and killed in U.S. cities, families living in fear and struggling to afford health care and groceries, and small businesses fighting for survival under the weight of Trump's tariffs.

President Trump has once again tried to convince us that what we have seen with our own eyes is not the truth.

Donald Trump wants you to think he’s brought back the Expanded Child Tax Credit.

He hasn’t. Under his plan, 19M children will be left out of the full credit β€” meaning hungry kids, struggling parents, and families falling behind.

For all his promises of peace, Trump has left America more isolated and the world more dangerous.

In one year, President Trump has ordered military action against seven countries and deployed federal troops to American cities without Congressional approval.

He has undermined NATO, the most successful alliance in history and alienated key U.S. allies with his tariffs.
