The largest investment in our nation’s infrastructure since the New Deal was signed into law 4 years ago today.

Our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has created good-paying jobs and addressed our aging infrastructure – and there’s still more to come.

Starbucks is not a poor company – yet they refuse to negotiate in good faith with their own workers.

Proud to stand with Colorado workers striking for their right to organize and for better working conditions.

Let’s be clear: our fight for affordable health care isn’t over. We’re going to use every tool we have to bring down costs. Full stop.
November 14, 2025 at 4:24 PM
No sugarcoating it: Trump’s tariff-taxes are pulverizing Colorado’s small businesses across every industry.

⚠️ The Trump administration is at it again – trying to remove protections for YOUR public lands.

The American people couldn’t be more clear: 98% of public comments OPPOSE rescinding the Public Lands Rule.

Last night, I voted NO on the Republicans' budget bill that failed to address the looming health care crisis they created.

We’ll never stop fighting for universal health care and lower costs. End of story.

As a brewer-turned-senator, I know we’ve got to take back the Senate to ensure Change is on Tap. 🍺

So join our campaign, grab yourself some gear, and let’s change the direction of this country: store.hickenlooper.com.

NEWS: Electricity bills across the nation have risen 11% since Trump took office.

Trump campaigned on lowering costs. This is just another broken promise.

Last night, from Aurora to Buena Vista to Durango and everywhere in between, Colorado Democrats won with a relentless focus on people over politics and lower cost of living.

You worked hard, faced down long odds and bolstered our resolve for the work ahead. I’m proud to be in this fight with you.

We are now in the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. All because Trump and Republicans won’t lift a finger to save 24 million Americans from losing their coverage or having their health care costs explode.
November 5, 2025 at 6:34 PM
We’ve got 365 days until the 2026 midterms!

Sticking up for Coloradans and standing up to Trump and MAGA Republicans’ harmful agenda is worth fighting for.

If we have any chance of flipping the Senate blue, it starts with defending Colorado. Let’s do this.
November 4, 2025 at 12:34 AM
15 years ago today, Coloradans elected me governor. We brought our state to near universal health care coverage – getting 500,000 folks insured.

Now, Republicans are skyrocketing premiums and making it impossible to stay on.

This still rings true: health care is a right and our fight isn’t over.
November 2, 2025 at 4:22 PM
Republicans have refused to fix the health care crisis that they created. It’s past time they pick up their mess.
November 1, 2025 at 9:36 PM
⚠️🚨 Just got another message from a Coloradan whose premium will rise from $15 to $1266 per MONTH.

That’s an extra $15,000 on health insurance next year – or NO insurance.

Trump and Republicans have put politics over Americans’ livelihoods. Extend the ACA credits NOW.
October 31, 2025 at 9:45 PM
In Trump’s America, every day feels like trick after trick. And there’s nothing more terrifying than health insurance costs doubling next year.
October 31, 2025 at 2:53 PM
First, Trump crushed our farmers when he started a trade war with China. Now, he’s undercutting our ranchers with his push to buy foreign beef.

It’s a slap in the face to American producers – and it won’t even lower prices for American consumers.
October 30, 2025 at 8:00 PM
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

Thank you @denverdemocrats.org for fighting back against Trump’s recklessness. Come next year, we’re going to take back the Senate.
October 29, 2025 at 9:35 PM
A constituent sent me this notice about her health care increasing from $383 to $2,051 per month…

Can you afford another $1,668 each month??

THIS is why we won’t stop fighting to protect the Affordable Care Act subsidies. Working families can’t afford to go backward.
October 29, 2025 at 6:12 PM
Tens of thousands of Coloradans will drop their health coverage when costs get too high. Everyone else will have to pay hundreds or even thousands more each month.

This is dire. Republicans must do the right thing and join us in extending ACA subsidies before it’s too late.
October 28, 2025 at 11:39 PM
We flipped this seat from red to blue – and now we’ve got to defend it to help take back the Senate.

I need you with us. Text “HICK” to 45942 to join the team.
October 27, 2025 at 6:29 PM
📢 Listen up: your health care costs could DOUBLE next year if Republicans get their way.
October 26, 2025 at 7:22 PM
Trump campaigned on lowering costs for working people. He’s doing the exact opposite.

How many broken promises will Congressional Republicans go along with?
October 25, 2025 at 5:20 PM
Scientists and public lands workers shouldn’t be pawns in Trump’s political games. These reckless layoffs put our parks at risk and leave hardworking Coloradans in the dust.

Trump is selling out America’s ranchers and farmers – and we’re paying the price.

First, he crushed family farms with tariff-taxes. Then, he pleaded for a taxpayer-funded bailout to fix his mistake. Now, he’s undercutting American producers with foreign beef.

So much for “America first.”
