Denmark is a model NATO ally whose troops have fought and died alongside ours. Both Greenland and Denmark's leaders have made it clear that Greenland is not for sale.

“Make no mistake, this was part of the President’s vindictive war on Colorado because he is frustrated with our state for not bending the knee. Today marks another grim day for the future of our democracy.”

Southeastern Coloradans have fought for generations for access to clean water.

But, President Trump used the first veto of his second term to stop my bipartisan bill to help provide the clean water they were promised, as further retribution against Colorado.

As 2025 comes to an end, I’m reflecting on Coloradans’ unwavering resilience and the many stories they have shared with our team and me this year.

I’ve been glad to work alongside Coloradans to stand up for our communities and work to make our state a better place to live and raise a family.

Our interns in Colorado and D.C. do incredible work behind the scenes to keep our office working and address Coloradans' concerns.

Thank you to our dedicated interns for your hard work and public service this year.

Coloradans showed up this year and made their voices heard on rising costs, public lands, health care, the future of our democracy, and so much more.

The best part of my job is meeting with Coloradans across our state to discuss the issues that matter most to them.
December 28, 2025 at 4:24 PM
This year, I stood up for Coloradans and pushed back on the Trump Administration's threats to our democracy and way of life.

Every day, my office helps Coloradans cut through red tape and resolve issues with federal agencies. 

In 2025, we helped over one thousand Coloradans navigate the immigration system and addressed hundreds of social security challenges for seniors across our state.
December 26, 2025 at 6:46 PM
When Coloradans call, we listen—and we fight to solve their problems.

In response to the chaos and uncertainty of this year, our office received hundreds of thousands of calls and millions of letters from Coloradans seeking help and making their voices heard.

President Trump’s mass layoffs of Forest Service staff tore at the agency already stretching itself to oversee our public lands and protect our communities from wildfires. (1/2)

At President Trump’s inauguration, he declared an “energy emergency” to try and justify his damaging actions to roll back clean energy and climate protections.

It’s dangerous, and it weakens America’s energy leadership and progress towards a net-zero future. (1/2)

President Trump thinks he can intimidate Colorado by shuttering NCAR.

It’s political retribution, Senator John Hickenlooper and I won’t stand for it. We are holding up the appropriations package to demand NCAR is fully funded.

The President must not send our men and women in uniform into harm’s way for oil. The American people do not want yet another unauthorized, costly war based on an ill-conceived rationale.

The Finish the AVC Act is a bipartisan solution to ensure Southeastern Colorado can afford the safe and reliable drinking water it deserves.

When Republicans forced through Trump’s billionaire tax cuts earlier this year, I made it clear that Trump’s idea of prosperity is reserved only for those at the top.

President Trump's reckless and short-sighted decision to let NVIDIA sell advanced AI chips to China threatens U.S. national security and technological leadership. We cannot give China the tools to outcompete us or our allies.

Last month, President Trump attempted to illegally withhold SNAP funding, adding to his disgraceful record of making Americans’ lives harder.

As he continues to threaten Colorado’s food assistance, I will keep fighting for our state to ensure hungry families have the food they need.
