Today marks the anniversary of Hamas’ brutal attack on Israel that tragically murdered 1,200 people, took over 100 innocent civilians hostage, and ignited a deadly conflict that has brought devastation to the region. Read my full statement here:

Romance scams cost Americans over $1 BILLION every single year. That's why I passed the Romance Scam Prevention Act to hold bad actors accountable & protect Coloradans. I'm proud this is my 6th bill passed into law this Congress — proving you can stand strong against this admin & get work done.

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline saves lives, but it can only help people who know it exists. That's why I'm introducing the Public Transit Mental Health Awareness Act to display 988 information on public transit, help meet people where they are, & connect more Americans with lifesaving support.

The cost of everything is going up, including school supplies. I know every family is feeling the crunch. Yet, Trump has consistently said he doesn't care. That's why I'm leading this effort, I will not let him ignore families who are struggling.

Happy first day of school to all the families and educators in Jeffco! I will keep fighting to make sure our kids have the resources they need to succeed.

With more than 100,000 acres burned across Colorado this summer, we can't just react after the smoke clears—we have to protect our communities now. I've introduced six bills to guarantee emergency relief, fight pine beetle outbreaks in our forests, & safeguard healthcare for our hero firefighters.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 30/07/2026

Meet Marc from Wheat Ridge. Since Trump took office, Marc has seen his Medicare and Medicaid benefits continuously slashed. These aren't abstract budget lines—they are real Coloradans losing the healthcare they rely on to stay healthy. Marc deserves better.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 30/07/2026

61 years ago, Medicare and Medicaid became law— a promise that no American should go without care because they can't afford it. But Republicans broke that promise with $625 billion cut from Medicaid. We must reverse these devastating cuts and get back to supporting the American people.

We cannot give Donald Trump unchecked authority to conduct warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens by reauthorizing FISA without the necessary protections in place. Read my full statement here:

Next time you fill up your gas tank and pay over $4/gallon, remember that it is Donald Trump alone who is responsible. Costs are going up because of Trump's unauthorized war in Iran, and it's us working families & regular people who are footing the bill.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 17/04/2026

Pete Hegseth is wildly incompetent & dangerous. He's violating our constitution by dragging us into an unauthorized war & breaking international law by targeting civilians. As a mom, I'm terrified by his actions & the long-term consequences we will face as a country. He must resign or be removed.

24115 41

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 16/04/2026

Pete Hegseth’s actions are reckless, violate our Constitution & international law, & have created a global crisis. The American people have absolutely no confidence in Hegseth to do this job. It’s time for him to resign – or we will remove him from office.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 07/04/2026

The House must come back into session immediately to vote to end Trump’s war. The President is unhinged, lawless and bringing global chaos and we must stop him NOW. Our service members, Iranian civilians and our country’s national security depend on it. Read my full statement here:

Our president is utterly unhinged and putting the lives of our troops and our national security at risk.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 27/03/2026

This is what Democrats have been fighting for since day one. Trump kept saying NO to paying our hardworking TSA agents and other federal workers, all the while Americans unnecessarily suffered. Their incompetence is absolutely unacceptable.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 25/03/2026

$12 billion and counting for a war Congress never authorized. That's child care for 900,000 kids. Health care for 1.3 million Americans. All while Colorado families can barely afford to put a roof over their heads and food on the table.

4188 18

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 04/03/2026

Americans should not be left stranded in a time of crisis. Trump unilaterally dragged us into this conflict with no clear plan for keeping Americans safe. Please keep contacting the State Department as well as our office so we can support you in any way we can.

Happy Holi - a celebration of color in the world, triumph over evil, and hope found in our community. To everyone celebrating around the world, may this Festival of Colors bring you joy, hope, & new beginnings. In a time when so much can feel divided, moments like this remind us to lead with light.

Colorado's future depends on its water supply. I was grateful for the opportunity to speak with our state's leading experts at Colorado Water Congress. Ensuring federal investments for water security shouldn't be partisan. Thanks to the people who are doing this critical work every day.

Love is in the air, but so are rising prices. While you're picking out something sweet, you will likely be paying more for less. Due to Trump's tariffs, even the cost of boxed chocolates has jumped by 11.8%. I hope the future brings more love, fewer tariffs, and new leadership.

Our country is at a breaking point because of the illegal and fascist actions of this administration. And the American people have had enough. Read my full statement:

It’s been a rough year & I think most of us are looking forward to turning the page, but there were also so many moments that gave me hope - welcoming Sam to our family, having some successes fighting Trump in Congress, & visiting communities across the district. Here’s to a much better year ahead.

Proud to celebrate this year's Congressional App Challenge winners! I was floored by the talent, creativity, and innovation that these students brought. Investing in our children, their ideas, and the ways they can change the world is a step we can all take towards creating a brighter future.

Wishing everyone celebrating Kwanzaa a joyful and meaningful week of reflection, unity, and purpose. May this season bring strength, community, and hope for the year ahead.

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas! As we celebrate this season, I’m wishing families across Colorado moments of joy, kindness, and meaningful time together. After such a difficult year, we’ve seen how much standing up and working together can make a difference.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 23/12/2025

As a mom, I know how important it is to fight for the future our kids deserve. In Congress, I've delivered funding for child care facilities, worked to protect health care access, & fought to expand access to affordable housing. I'll keep working to build a better future for the next generation.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 22/12/2025

I’ve been fighting back against the lawlessness of this administration, this year alone, I've helped introduce bills, pressed the administration, joined lawsuits, & signed petitions to fight back against his harmful policies. I'll keep standing up for Colorado families.

Another insane rant by POTUS with very real consequences. No, we should absolutely not being going to war with Venezuela

Happy Hanukkah to those in Colorado & across the country. It's been an especially challenging year for the Jewish community, but I hope this celebration of light brings you hope, time with family & loved ones, & a bright holiday season.

The American people are begging their leaders to have the courage to stand up right now. When a president calls for executing elected officials, we must all speak out to defend our country and our freedoms. Read my full statement here:

Small businesses across Colorado are being crushed by Trump's reckless trade war, pushing small businesses to raise prices, cut staff, or close their doors altogether. I'm proud to support a bill that makes sure that our small businesses aren't bearing the brunt of these disastrous policies.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 27/11/2025

I know this year hasn't always felt hopeful. But when I think back on the people I've met across the 7th District, I'm reminded of the good we're capable of when we come together. You give me hope that we can build the future our kids deserve. Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 03/11/2025

At 25, Josh was diagnosed with leukemia. After surviving cancer, the ACA became his only path to affordable care. Losing these subsidies could put his health at risk. Stories like Josh’s show why we must protect the ACA because every policy has a story and a name behind it.

0101 10

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 30/10/2025

Across Colorado, people are sharing how ACA tax credits make health care possible. After being laid off at 62, Mike faced losing coverage before retirement. Thanks to ACA tax credits, he stayed insured. These subsidies are a lifeline for thousands of Coloradans.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 29/10/2025

What’s really scary is that health care premiums are about to double and Republicans don’t even care.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 28/10/2025

Trump already wrecked the Department of Education. Now he's illegally ending what little support is left for students with disabilities. I joined 100+ of my colleagues in demanding @POTUS reverse course. I can't imagine my kid not having the resources needed to thrive in school. It's just cruel.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 24/10/2025

I met Carol, unlawfully detained by ICE with her 7-year-old & deported to Texas. Thanks to her bravery & community support, she got a lawyer & returned home. Her story is rare, but so many immigrants face harsher realities. Thank you, Carol, for sharing your courage.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 24/10/2025

Thanks to everyone who came to my town hall to talk about the looming health care crisis. We heard from Brian, a local teacher whose premiums could jump from $6K to $18K without tax credits. For families like his, this is life or death and that’s why we’re fighting.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 23/10/2025

Amazing to see the work I did in the CO legislature come to life at SolVista Health, the only addiction treatment center in the area. It shows what’s possible when leaders work together. But Trump’s Big Ugly Bill puts it all at risk. I’ll fight for places of hope like this.

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 22/10/2025

It was inspiring to celebrate the groundbreaking of Mountain Area Land Trust's new Education & Environment Center and see what’s possible when parents, nonprofits & community leaders come together to give students a place to learn, grow, and connect with our lands and environment.

Republicans’ refusal to work with us will make it impossible for rural Coloradans to get life-saving care. Without action, premiums in Fremont, Custer & Teller Counties could rise up to 283%. This is about keeping families covered and ensuring no one has to choose between rent or care.

3184 18

U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen @pettersen.house.gov · 16/10/2025

We must fund our government and protect Americans’ healthcare. Federal workers who keep our country running, processing veterans’ benefits, protecting airways, ensuring clean water shouldn’t pay the price for political games. They deserve better.
