While the Grinch in this video steals presents, Donald Trump’s tariffs are doing it in real life — raising prices and making it harder for Colorado families to afford gifts. It’s time to end tariffs and lower costs.

Every Coloradan deserves access to our great outdoors. Outdoor Equity Grants help more people get outside, explore wild spaces, and spark careers in recreation and conservation—building the workforce that powers our $28B outdoor economy and protects our natural places.

I was grateful to have joined the Fort Carson community as we celebrated the grand opening of the new Abrams Elementary— a warm, modern space that gives military kids the stability they deserve and honors the families who serve our state and nation.

Today, we honor the lives lost and the heroes who rose in defense of our nation at Pearl Harbor. We remember their courage, sacrifice, and the resilience that defines our country. Let us never forget the lessons of that day and the freedoms Americans fought to protect.

In my 20s, someone told me Colorado is the best state in the nation… and I’ve spent my time in public service making sure it stays that way.

Colorado’s priorities aren’t just talk — they’re our daily soundtrack. Thanks for being part of the ‘Governor Wrapped’ club and staying tuned as we build more housing, save people money, strengthen schools, protect our air, and deliver for Colorado families.

The top reads “Full Charge,” and the bottom says “My Role: Governor,” followed by text about Colorado values like housing, affordability, clean air, strong schools, and healthcare.

Direct File is a free IRS tax tool coming to Colorado that saves time, money, and hassle. Nearly 90% of Americans support it — we shouldn’t shut down a tool that makes filing taxes easy and accessible.

Naturalized citizens of our great country are Americans, and they strengthen our communities and economy.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Tammie Rosen, Chief Communications Officer at Sundance Institute. I had the honor of working with Tammie during the Sundance 2027 announcement at the Boulder Theater—her warmth, intelligence, and dedication to storytelling left a lasting impression.

We would all benefit if the President spent less time posting attacks and instead worked on ending tariffs and making Christmas more affordable for American families.

When tariffs hit our economy, it can feel like we’re entering the Upside Down. Colorado businesses and farmers are sounding the alarm — new state surveys show Colorado businesses overwhelmingly view tariffs as harmful.

We should be lifting up local businesses, not making it harder to thrive.
A parody poster styled after Stranger Things Season 2. The sky is filled with an ominous overlay of news articles about the negative impact of tariffs on Colorado businesses. Below, in the iconic red title-card style, the text reads: ‘Tariffs Have Us in the Upside Down.’
