The Trump administration has proven, once again, that they are willing to risk the health and safety of Americans for political games. Colorado is a proud leader in state methane pollution limits, and I will continue to defend these protections nationwide. www.cpr.org/2026/10/07/t...

President Trump has weaponized the federal government against Colorado. No American should have to fear political retaliation from their own President.
From working families struggling to put food on the table to farmers and ranchers facing historic diesel and fertilizer costs, Coloradans are paying the price for President Trump’s Iran war and reckless global tariffs.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provided historic investments in Colorado roads, bridges, transit, and airports. With billions in funding set to expire today, Congress must pass a bipartisan surface transportation reauthorization that protects these investments and keeps critical projects moving.

We need a cop on the beat to protect the safety of the American people from the risks of AI. That’s why I’m introducing an independent agency to oversee AI innovation and ensure Big Tech companies play by the rules.
I'm proposing an independent federal agency to regulate AI and big tech. We need to act before serious harm occurs and hold these companies accountable when they break the rules.
We eliminated measles in this country more than 30 years ago. We shouldn’t be fighting it again because this administration refuses to take science seriously. Colorado’s kids and families deserve better.
AI companies need to face real consequences, including the power to pause unsafe technology and impose serious penalties of up to 15% of global revenue. It’s time for an independent agency with the authority to regulate Big Tech and AI, protect the American people, and keep pace with innovation.
Thank you to CiviCO for a great conversation about strengthening civic engagement and trust in our democracy. We're counting on Colorado's future leaders to join us in building an economy that works for everyone.

I am disappointed that we are back in the same position voting on the same Farm Bill this Committee considered in August. My hope was to return to a bipartisan process, rather than continue down this partisan path. Unfortunately, that did not happen.
