Republicans are taking food out of the mouths of hungry children. It is cruel - there’s no other way to put it.
Go to feedingamerica.com to find resources if you need food or to donate to your local food bank. I will be giving to foodbanklarimer.org and hope you will join me.

If Republicans really want to reduce crime, they should start by supporting the proven solutions that make our communities safer.

Republicans have shut down our government to redistribute the hard-earned money of working people into the pockets of billionaires. The $300 million of cuts CSU is facing are an authoritarian attack on higher education and a way for the GOP to pump even more cash into ICE’s cruelty.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Republicans are once again putting women at risk of violence.
Instead of cooling down our dangerous political climate, they’re tossing gasoline on the fire.
We all have to call out this dangerous behavior.

Former Representative Armagost kicked off an online harassment campaign against me and my family which was enabled by Republican leadership. I’m speaking out because this type of workplace misconduct keeps women, people of color, and other vulnerable communities out of politics.

Our tax code is set up to benefit the ultra-rich and giant corporations. I’m using my understanding of our rigged system to fight for a tax policy that benefits working people, not just the 1%.

Won't someone think of the poor multinational corporations! 🤧
As a tax attorney, I was trained to find corporations tax loopholes.
I was shocked to learn just how our tax system is rigged for the wealthy and well connected.

Republicans are shuttering rural hospitals and throwing countless Coloradans off Medicaid, while enabling their billionaire funders to conceal wealth in offshore accounts.
I’m proud to introduce HB25B-1002, which cracks down on tax havens and funds the programs that Coloradans rely on to survive.

We should not be talking about giving the ultra-rich a massive discount while working people pay taxes on every dollar they earn. HB25B-1001 is about fairness, which means ensuring that our tax code isn’t putting the burden on those who are already struggling.

Representative Armagost chose to walk away rather than face accountability for his actions.
Resigning may remove him from this chamber, but it does not erase the harm he caused or the responsibility he bears for perpetuating a culture of violence against women.

GOP State Rep Ryan Armagost, the #3 Republican in the Colorado House, resigned early today to avoid a Democrat-led censure for being a creep. #copolitics

The Democrats are laser focused this session - because we know every dollar we save by closing corporate tax loopholes is another dollar for education, for health care, for food assistance, for the essential services that Coloradans rely on.
We’re stepping up to solve this crisis responsibly.

Heading back to the Capitol tomorrow to close corporate tax loopholes and do everything in my power to protect Coloradans from Trump's bill.
Republicans want to continue to take from everyday families to pad the pockets of billionaires. It is shameful.

I’m proud to be one of the 2025 Legislative Champions on the Colorado Fiscal Institute’s first ever legislative scorecard. We need tax policies that ensure our state can serve the needs of working people, not just the rich. I’m looking forward to continuing that fight in our upcoming special session
