I voted NO, for the 8th time, against Republicans' partisan budget bill that does nothing to prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing for Coloradans.

Republicans must negotiate with Democrats to extend the premium tax credits and end their government shutdown.

Coloradans are receiving letters from their health insurance providers stating their premiums will skyrocket if the health care premium tax credits expire.

Time is running out.

Republicans must come to the table now and negotiate with Democrats to preserve this lifeline.

Grateful 20 hostages are finally home after two years of anguish. No one should endure what they and their families have been through. Now we must end the war and suffering in Gaza and build a future of lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the enormous contributions of Tribal communities to our state. Indigenous history and culture are deeply woven within the fabric of Colorado.

My thoughts are with the community of Pagosa Springs as community members evacuate due to extreme flooding.

I am actively monitoring the situation, and am ready to assist at the federal level.

Republicans continuous refusal to negotiate with Democrats means that health care premiums will skyrocket.

A couple in Washington County would pay over $1000 a month for health insurance.

These are the real costs to Republicans’ refusal to negotiate, and Coloradans cannot afford it.

Nearly 80% of Americans support extending the tax credits people need to afford their health care premiums. Yesterday, however, Republicans voted for the 7th time against the extension.

Republicans must negotiate with Democrats to end this shutdown and make health care more affordable.

If Republicans don’t work with Democrats to prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing:

A couple in Bent County would pay over $1000 a month for health insurance.

It’s always a pleasure to meet our DC interns and thank them for their dedication to serving Colorado, especially during a government shutdown.

Their hard work is essential for our office to hear and address the needs of all Coloradans.

For the 7th time, I voted against Republicans' budget bill that does nothing to prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing for working families.

They must negotiate with Democrats and reopen the government.

If Republicans allow the tax credits that help people afford their health care premiums expire, a couple in Ouray would be forced to pay over $1000/ month for health insurance. That is unbelievable.

Coloradans cannot afford that.

Republicans must negotiate with Democrats to preserve these credits.

We need trust, not fear.

That’s why I’m leading the push to prohibit officers from hiding their faces and require them to clearly display their agency, name, and unique identifier during immigration enforcement.

Transparency is essential for accountability and trust. (2/2)

Across Colorado, families are living with a growing fear of ICE raids.

More than half of Latinos in our state say law enforcement should not be allowed to use masks to hide their identity, and 62% say officers should not stop anyone just because they suspect them of being undocumented. (1/2)

Coloradans cannot afford for ACA health care tax credits to expire.

Republicans must come to the table to preserve these credits, prevent premiums from skyrocketing, and end their shutdown.

It is imperative that the deal on the table be finalized, that the hostages be reunified with their loved ones, that Gaza be flooded with humanitarian aid, and that this conflict end. Any other outcome will only prolong the tragedy of October 7. (2/2)

Republicans refuse to negotiate with Democrats and prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans.

That’s why I voted NO for the fifth time against Republicans’ partisan budget bill.

Health care premiums will skyrocket by as much as 300% in Colorado if Republicans allow ACA health care tax credits to expire.

Republicans must negotiate with Democrats to preserve this lifeline for families and small businesses.

As food banks are pushed to the brink and nearly 300,000 Coloradans are at risk of losing some or all of their food assistance, Trump’s cuts have kept millions of pounds of food from reaching hungry families.

This Republican shutdown will only worsen food insecurity across Colorado. (1/2)

Business owners across Colorado tell me they're now worried about making payroll and planning next quarter because of Trump’s trade war.

The Republican shutdown will only worsen the effects of Trump’s harmful trade policies and drive up uncertainty for struggling businesses.
