Happy #SmallBusinessSaturday! Small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities, and throughout my time in office, I've focused on cutting red tape and ensuring small businesses are able to thrive.
Today and every day, lets remember to support our neighborhood businesses and shop small.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 I hope you had a wonderful day celebrating with your loved ones. There’s so much to be thankful for — including my incredible family, the people of Westminster for the opportunity to serve our community & my cat Albus who is excited to transition to more festive holiday decor.

This morning, I toured Community Reach's 24/7 Walk-In Crisis Center in Thornton to learn more about the lifesaving mental health services they provide at no cost.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, there is help. You can reach the 24/7 crisis center at 303-853-3800 or walk in. #CO08

Coloradans are expecting to pay more this holiday season, thanks to Trump’s tariff taxes that Gabe Evans supports.
In Congress, I’ll work every day to lower costs and repeal the reckless policies that have led to all of us paying more. #CO08 www.denverpost.com/2025/11/20/t...

Small Colorado retailers juggle tariffs, skittish consumers as holidays approach
The holiday shopping is the Super Bowl for local businesses. After facing higher prices due to higher tariffs imposed this year, Colorado small businesses hope people will be in a spending mood.

At a time when Coloradans are struggling with rising costs, the last thing we need is a 10% increase on utility bills. I urge the commission and Xcel to find a solution that doesn’t raise costs.
Rate hikes likely for Xcel Energy customers after utility files request to recoup expenses
The Public Utilities Commission will soon weigh whether or not Xcel can bill back certain expenses to consumers over the next few years.

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.
