I know this year hasn't always felt hopeful.
But when I think back on the people I've met across the 7th District, I'm reminded of the good we're capable of when we come together. You give me hope that we can build the future our kids deserve.
Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours.

I join the nation in heartbreak after learning two National Guardsmen were shot in DC today. Violent acts targeting our brave military have no place in America.
I'm grateful for the law enforcement officers who acted swiftly to save lives & deeply sorry for the family of the two service members.

Three years ago, our LGBTQ+ community was targeted and five innocent lives were taken at Club Q in Colorado Springs. We’ll never forget them & we’ll keep fighting for a Colorado where every LGBTQ+ person can live openly & without fear. My heart is with the survivors, families, & community today.

Millions of Americans’ healthcare is hanging in the balance because Republicans refuse to lower the costs. We have now reached the longest government shutdown in history & it's time to work together to reopen & address the health care crisis. It's literally life or death for far too many Coloradans.
Health care compromise appears far off as the government shutdown stalemate persists
The government shutdown has reopened debate on the future of health coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

Trump’s attacks on legal immigration are hurting Colorado’s economy. 60% of ski resorts rely on workers with J-1 visas, & many are now scrambling as they are unable to fill the positions needed.
When we shut immigrants out, we hurt our local businesses, our tourism industry, and our economy.

At 25, Josh was diagnosed with leukemia. After surviving cancer, the ACA became his only path to affordable care. Losing these subsidies could put his health at risk. Stories like Josh’s show why we must protect the ACA because every policy has a story and a name behind it.

Across Colorado, people are sharing how ACA tax credits make health care possible. After being laid off at 62, Mike faced losing coverage before retirement. Thanks to ACA tax credits, he stayed insured. These subsidies are a lifeline for thousands of Coloradans.

Trump already wrecked the Department of Education. Now he's illegally ending what little support is left for students with disabilities. I joined 100+ of my colleagues in demanding @POTUS reverse course. I can't imagine my kid not having the resources needed to thrive in school. It's just cruel.

Thanks to everyone who came to my town hall to talk about the looming health care crisis. We heard from Brian, a local teacher whose premiums could jump from $6K to $18K without tax credits. For families like his, this is life or death and that’s why we’re fighting.

Amazing to see the work I did in the CO legislature come to life at SolVista Health, the only addiction treatment center in the area. It shows what’s possible when leaders work together. But Trump’s Big Ugly Bill puts it all at risk. I’ll fight for places of hope like this.
