After an Enterprise gas line burst last year, nearly 100,000 gallons of spilled gasoline threatened water supplies on Southern Ute Tribal lands.

As clean-up efforts continue, I look forward to the continued work to protect the Animas River and drinking water for local communities.

This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

Republicans continuous refusal to negotiate with Democrats means that health care premiums will skyrocket.

A couple in Washington County would pay over $1000 a month for health insurance.

These are the real costs to Republicans’ refusal to negotiate, and Coloradans cannot afford it.

We must protect free speech rights for ALL Americans.
