Sharing this People Magazine article on Renee Nicole Good so Coloradans can better understand the tragic circumstances of her death and why we’re calling for a full, transparent investigation. Every life matters, and we owe it to her family and community to get answers.

Colorado fought hard for our water—and the U.S. The House failed to override the veto on a bipartisan water project.

I applaud the U.S. House for voting to extend federal health care tax credits. This action helps protect Coloradans from skyrocketing health care costs—now it’s time for the Senate to act and finish the job.
Governor Jared Polis emphasizes the need for the Senate to quickly extend tax credits to prevent families from facing higher health insurance costs or losing coverage.

Decades of waiting for clean water in southeastern Colorado were ignored today. The Arkansas Valley Conduit is a bipartisan project to protect rural communities and public health. Letting this veto stand puts politics ahead of people.

Colorado families deserve support—not uncertainty.

Withholding federal funds hurts kids and families who need help most. We’ll keep fighting to protect children and ensure promised resources reach Coloradans—because politics should never come before putting food on the table.

We’re cutting property taxes to save Coloradans money — and staying focused on supporting schools, public safety, and local services that keep our communities thriving.

The National Western Stock Show isn’t just an event—it’s a Colorado tradition. For 115+ years, families, ranchers, and visitors have celebrated our ag heritage. I loved going as a kid, and as Governor it’s even more special to join this living celebration of the people who keep Colorado strong.

I’m calling for a full investigation into the death of Renee Nicole Good following a tragic incident involving ICE agents in Minnesota. Ms. Good was a mother with ties to the Colorado Springs area, and her family deserves answers, transparency, and accountability.

This is exactly the kind of partnership that makes Colorado a national leader in conservation: keeping working lands working, protecting our natural heritage, and supporting families and future generations.

Coloradans deserve lower energy costs—not higher bills disguised as an “emergency.” We’ll keep fighting for affordable, reliable, clean energy that actually saves people money.

Big win for Pueblo! We’re launching a brand-new aviation training program that will create 45 good-paying jobs and prepare Coloradans for in-demand aviation maintenance careers nationwide.

​This is how you grow an economy the right way — invest in people, build skills, and deliver real results.

Vetoes that divide 🤦‍♂️

2020: Trump campaigns on the Arkansas Valley Conduit project
2025: The President hurts rural Colorado by vetoing this bipartisan and non-controversial bill that will help deliver clean water

Colorado deserves calm, steady leadership — not chaos and partisan attacks.

Great news for Denver and Colorado: homicides are down 48% in 2025 compared to last year. There’s more work to do, but these results show that our increased resources for law enforcement and data-driven, community-focused public safety efforts are making a real difference.

Goodbye, penny! As the U.S. phases it out, cash purchases may round to the nearest nickel. Other countries have done this already—it saves money, cuts waste, and simplifies checkout. We’ve spent more making pennies than they’re worth for years.

As we head into 2026, flu cases are high in Colorado and nationwide. The good news: the flu shot is safe, effective, and still makes a difference. It’s not too late to protect yourself, your family, and our communities. Stay healthy, Colorado.

Talk of tariff “rebate checks” sounds nice, but tariffs are raising prices and turning everyday life upside down for Coloradans.

Colorado stands for real affordability—lower costs, strong small businesses, and policies that help families thrive.

The President vetoed a bipartisan bill led by Representative Lauren Boebert and Senator Michael Bennet - that passed unanimously - that would bring cleaner water to 39 communities in Colorado.💧

We’ll keep fighting for Coloradans.
