Honored to receive the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Colorado Legacy Award! This year, we collaborated on my law to build more housing that middle class families can afford. Thank you for your work to lower costs for Coloradans! #CO08

Loved joining a bipartisan panel of legislators with the CO Solar & Storage Assoc.
We need cheap, reliable energy, but Gabe Evans voted to take a wrecking ball to #CO08's clean energy sector – killing jobs & risking higher utility bills.
I"ll always protect jobs & work to lower utility costs.

Happy Veterans Day and thank you to all who have served. Freedom isn't free and today we honor the bravery and selflessness of all of America's veterans.
I stopped by the Adams County Veterans Memorial to honor our vets and the service of my stepdad, who served in the Marines in Vietnam.

I know how important homeownership is to achieving the American dream & I'm honored that the Colorado Association of Realtors named me a Legislator of the Year!
This year, I passed a law to remove red tape & create more housing that middle-income buyers can afford. I'll keep working to lower costs.

It's inexcusable. In Congress, I'll work every day to lower health insurance costs – not make it harder to get by like Gabe. #CO08 www.denverpost.com/2025/10/27/c...

Enjoyed joining my colleagues and Poudre Valley REA today to learn about their work to prevent wildfires. Their work to ensure reliability and to keep utility rates affordable is commendable.
I know that recent utility rate increases have been painful. I'll continue to work to bring costs down.
