I am horrified, disgusted, and deeply saddened by the display of a giant swastika along I-70 near Lookout Mountain this morning.

This kind of hatred has no place in Jefferson County. Please read our joint statement below.
Graphic titled “Statement from the Jefferson County State Legislators.” The statement appears in white text on a dark blue background bordered by lighter blue. The message condemns the hateful display of a giant swastika along I-70 near Lookout Mountain, calling it an attempt to spread fear and division. The legislators affirm that Jefferson County stands for respect, inclusion, and human dignity, and that Nazi propaganda will never define the community. They thank Jeffco Open Space Rangers, law enforcement, and community members who quickly removed the symbol, emphasizing that the community must continue to respond to hate with unity, education, and courage. The statement concludes: “Jefferson County is, and must remain, a place where all people are welcome and safe. We will not be divided by hate. We will rise stronger together.” At the bottom, the names of the Jefferson County state legislators are listed in three columns: • Majority Leader Monica Duran, Representative Tammy Story, Representative Shannon Bird, Representative Lorena Garcia • Representative Lisa Feret, Representative Sheila Lieder, Senator Jessie Danielson, Senator Chris Kolker • Representative Rebekah Stewart, Representative Brianna Titone, Senator Lindsey Daugherty, Senator Lisa Cutter.

Today marks the start of a special legislative session at the Colorado Capitol.

We’ve been called back because of the devastating effects of President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which created a $1.2 billion shortfall in our state budget 💰.

Last week I had the opportunity to tour McAir Aviation ✈️ at flyrmma.bsky.social in Broomfield, CO.

With our country facing a nationwide pilot shortage, their dedication to training the next generation of aviators is *incredibly* important.

H.R. 1, Trump's federal bill recently passed with support from Congressional Republicans, including Colorado Reps. Boebert, Evans, Hurd, and Crank, will create a $1.2 BILLION shortfall in Colorado’s state budget.

This will mean real pain for real families.
