This week, I visited Ellis Elementary School's cafeteria to see Healthy School Meals for All (HSMA) in action. Seeing Ellis's kitchen firsthand was a reminder of how far these dollars go.

This week I toured Ellis Elementary School to see Colorado's READ Act at work. Ahead of the tough budget decisions we will be forced to make in the coming months, it was incredibly helpful to see firsthand the impacts of this funding to students in HD9.

Yesterday was the first meeting of Colorado's bipartisan Medicaid Commission. In recent years, the costs of Medicaid have grown far faster than the TABOR cap allows. This is a structural problem that results in painful consequences to Colorado's more vulnerable, and something must change.

021

Representative Emily Sirota @emilyforco.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

HB26-1202, my bill with Rep. Rutinel and Sen. Amabile, was signed into law this week. Every night, tens of thousands of Coloradans go to sleep without a safe place to call home. That is not acceptable, and I am proud that even in a difficult budget year we were able to do something about it.

Representative Emily Sirota @emilyforco.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Pride Month is a time to celebrate the right of every person to live with safety, dignity, and belonging. There is still more work to be done to make sure everyone feels welcome, safe, equal, and free in Colorado, but each year we continue to make progress. Happy Pride!

Representative Emily Sirota @emilyforco.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

SB26-042 was signed into law today. This bill ensures money that was never meant to count toward the TABOR spending limit does not count. This creates additional room in the budget next year to fund essential services like health care and education.

Today, we passed SB26-019 to reduce fragmentation in Colorado's local child care system by streamlining overlapping governance structures that were making it harder for families to find care and harder for providers to do their jobs.

Between President Trump’s punishment campaign, federal cuts to Medicaid and child care, and the rising cost of living, Coloradans are under real pressure. As we open the 2026 legislative session I’m staying focused on what matters most: making life more affordable and protecting working families.

Representative Emily Sirota @emilyforco.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

The Trump administration’s move to restrict federal funding puts Colorado families at risk. CCCAP helped 27,598 kids last year and TANF supports 47,000 children living in deep poverty. If this freeze isn’t fixed aid will run out in less than a month, hurting families and threatening providers.
