Proudly representing Denver in the U.S. House. Fighting for our environment, public lands & reproductive rights. Wife. Mom. Grandma. Dog lover.
This afternoon’s ceremony for Sen. Faith Winter was deeply touching. Faith led with courage and heart, always fighting for the people she served. Colorado won’t be the same without her, but her legacy will continue to light the way.

This administration’s anti-science agenda is going to get kids killed. The vote by members of ACIP to end the universal Hepatitis B vaccine birth dose recommendation for newborns is not supported by science and is incredibly reckless.

Over 60,000 Colorado service members put their lives on the line for us. They deserve leaders who protect them — not endanger them, as Pete Hegseth did. I called for his resignation then. The case is even clearer today.

Someone you love is alive because of an NIH-funded breakthrough — a cancer therapy, a diabetes treatment, an affordable drug developed in a small lab somewhere in America.
Trump’s anti-science agenda is stealing that future. Cutting NIH doesn’t save money. It costs lives.

The Hepatitis B birth dose is credited for a 99 percent drop in infections, and RFK Jr. and his vaccine conspiracy theorists on ACIP want to scrap that dose.
Their anti-science agenda is going to lead to preventable deaths for American children.

Trump is exploiting last week's shooting to do what he's wanted since day one: shut down asylum, block refugees, revoke green cards, and target immigrants from countries he doesn't like.
This is racist, un-American, and illegal. Trump can't erase international law with a social media post.

Earlier this year, Donald Trump, with the help of Elon Musk, gutted worldwide HIV/AIDS funding. These cuts came as roughly 1.3 million people across the globe became newly infected in 2024 and over 600,000 people died.

I admire her courage and wisdom, and I’m proud of her for continuing the Kennedy family’s legacy of leadership and of turning adversity into advocacy.

Thanks to Donald Trump and RFK Jr., our ability to get new and innovative drugs approved has been significantly eroded.
Their assault on science is going to have lasting consequences on biomedical innovation. We were once the gold standard, but now they are throwing away our global leadership.
