I'm so proud to have earned the support of Scott Moss -- one of our state's bravest fighters for justice, who blew the whistle on both the Trump administration's attempts to target Coloradans and our own Governor's refusal to stand up to them.

Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court is frightening and reminder of how much this administration is threatening and harmful to all of us. We must resist and fight back - and flipping Colorado 08 is part of that resistance!

Last night, I was glad to be back at UNC, where I got my Master's in school counseling, sharing my vision of hope for the future with Weld County Dems at their annual Roosevelt dinner. I was glad to connect with so many Northern CO Democrats who are fired up & ready to give Gabe Evans a pink slip!

Keep dreaming big, my friends. And never let anyone steal your hope. Together, we can and WILL build the America we all deserve.

PM Netanyahu's latest aggressions are inexcusable. I stand with the October 7th Council and many family members of the October 7th hostages, who are calling for a general strike in response, and I hope the whole of the Israeli labor movement joins in.

Thank you @degette.house.gov for standing up on this. Jeanette Vizguerra is my union sister, and I agree that she should be released and granted permanent legal status.

I joined CO Congressional Democrats to tour the GEO ICE detention facility in Aurora — a key part of our jobs as Members of Congress.
While there, I met with Jeanette Vizguerra — a longtime Denver community leader and immigrant rights advocate — who was detained outside her job at Target in March.

Yesterday, I was surprised & proud to be the only CD8 candidate who showed up to participate in the parade for Beef 'n Bean Day, which is one of the biggest community celebrations all year in #Milliiken. It was a lot of fun & I met many great people who are ready to turn this seat blue! #copolitics

This week, I participated in a CD8 candidate forum, and met over a hundred community members who had tons of interesting questions for us as candidates. It was so exciting to share my vision of hope and what I’ll do to fight for the #Colorado we all deserve.

Union busting is disgusting.
We need people in #Congress who don’t just give lip service to standing with #workers & unions, but who are ready and willing to fight to restore basic workplace rights & to enact policy to grow the power of #unions. I’m ready to help lead that fight in Congress. #1u

I’ve never lied about my family history- I’m proud of who & where I come from. How shameful for Evans to share mistruths about his background, w/ his own family members having to call it out, all while fanning the flames of harmful rhetoric that is causing fear & harm in our communities. #copolitics

We promised to support challengers to Republicans who voted for Trump’s big deadly bill.
Well, you can count on us to follow through 🧵

This does not make America safer or the world better - it does the opposite. As @afsaorg.bsky.social put it, "[T]hese layoffs are untethered from merit or mission... [P]rofessional, non-partisan diplomacy is not expendable. It is essential."
