1 in 4 Weld residents rely on food assistance.

Now, the Weld Food Bank is facing a $700k shortfall thanks to rising costs & greater need caused by Gabe Evans' tariff taxes & his vote to cut SNAP.

In Congress, I'll work to lower the cost of food & create jobs – not make things worse like Gabe #CO08

I loved seeing so many familiar faces at No Kings in Northglenn who are standing up for our constitution & ready to fire Gabe Evans!

Gabe has voted 100% with Trump & stayed silent as he rips away crucial funding from our district. Next November, we'll send him packing. #CO08

Thank you for having me! #CO08

Thank you to everyone who came to our recent meet & greets in Sherrelwood and Westminster! I loved hearing your ideas on how we can work together to lower the cost of goods, health care & housing.

Thank you to Sunrise Community Health for having me at your clinic in Evans! I’m inspired by the incredible work you’re doing to ensure families in #CO08 have access to quality, affordable care.

I’ll continue to fight to lower healthcare costs — not rip away coverage.

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend Dacono's first ever Fall Fiesta celebrating Hispanic Heritage, and Carbon Valley Help Center's Empty Bowls Fundraiser. These events showcased the vibrant community we have in #CO08. A place I am so lucky to call home.

I had an absolute blast this morning at Commerce City's Fall Fest. It was great seeing friends and taking a moment to learn about the city's Civic Academy, which provides residents with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of how local government operates.

I'll always fight for good-paying jobs and reliable energy in our district - not play politics and remain silent like Gabe while investments in #CO08 are ripped away.

The Trump administration just cancelled a $6 million grant to fix Fort Lupton’s water treatment plant to punish Colorado. And where’s Gabe Evans? Completely MIA because he serves his party, not our #CO08 community.

Trump administration slashes $550 million in Colorado clean energy grants, Democrats call it revenge

Mostly blue states, like Colorado, are losing $7.5 billion in federal clean energy grants. Democrats say it is an act of political revenge.

I had an inspiring morning learning about the great work of
Berthoud Habitat for Humanity, which provides affordable homeownership opportunities and helps so many achieve the American Dream.

With rising housing costs in Berthoud and across #CO08, Habitat's work is more important than ever.

Everywhere I go, our #CO08 neighbors tell me costs are out of control. Now, Coloradans could see healthcare premiums nearly double — all because Gabe Evans chose to shut the government down rather than find a solution to lower healthcare costs.

We need Gabe to get back to DC and do his job.

It was a big weekend for community festivals in #CO08 - I loved meeting neighbors at Northglenn Pirate Fest & Lochbuie Fall Fest!

Everywhere I go, I hear that our community is deeply concerned about affordability & healthcare. I'll continue to be laser-focused on lowering costs.
