I have decided to suspend my campaign. Thank you to everyone who supported me and volunteered with us. I’m sorry we fell short. We did make an impact and the work is not done.

Supporting our troops includes being honest about when and why we use force. Every decision to escalate has long-term consequences — for service members, their families, and our country. We need leaders who understand that responsibility.

Our district includes: •Young families trying to get ahead •Workers in the middle of their careers •Seniors on fixed incomes Effective leadership means understanding all of them — and building policy that reflects that reality.

Breaking up monopolistic practices isn’t abstract — it’s about protecting farmers, ranchers, and rural economies.

Lowering costs means taking energy seriously — investing in reliability, increasing domestic capacity, and making sure working families aren’t stuck footing the bill.

When companies like JBS dominate the market •Workers face unsafe conditions •Farmers lose leverage •Consumers pay more This is exactly why antitrust enforcement matters.

The “too big to fail” problem didn’t go away — it got bigger. Consolidation in banking and across industries is driving up costs and concentrating power. I support stronger oversight, real competition, and enforcing antitrust laws so markets work the way they’re supposed to.

We need stronger antitrust enforcement that puts working families first.

We’ve spent decades sending young Americans into conflicts w/o clear outcomes or accountability. We can't repeat that mistake. Preventing escalation w/ Iran isn’t weakness—it’s responsible leadership. It means avoiding another generation of vets carrying the cost of decisions made in Washington.

NSF's NCAR lab in Colorado is a cornerstone of American innovation. It supports US economic security. It advances the science to support work impacted by weather, like farming and ranching. >>

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! My faith has always been an important part of my life — grounding me in service, humility, and standing up for others. Today is a good reminder of those values and the importance of community. Wishing you all a wonderful day.

Proud to be endorsed by the Chainsaw Caucus. From the Eastern Plains to Douglas County, we’re building a coalition focused on results — supporting rural communities, cutting red tape, and fighting for working families. Let’s get to work.

The workers at JBS in Greeley should not have to go on strike to be treated like human beings. When a company asks people to work harder, faster, and under unsafe conditions while offering wages that don’t match the cost of living in Colorado, that’s not leadership… it’s greed. >>

In Colorado's 4th District, supporting our military isn’t political—it’s personal. >>

Colorado’s 4th District is winnable — but only with the right candidate. This campaign has already proven we can move voters and build the coalition it will take to flip this seat.

Primaries are healthy for our democracy. Voters deserve the chance to choose who will represent them on the ballot in November. In this race, the choice couldn’t be clearer. It’s obvious who has been showing up to fight for our community — and who hasn’t. That’s why this primary matters.

Support our troops. Honor our veterans. Colorado’s 4th deserves better than Lauren Boebert.

Colorado’s 4th District belongs to the people who live here, work here, and raise their families here — not DC insiders.

I’m honored to have the support of longtime Colorado meteorologist and climate activist Mike Nelson. For decades, Mike helped families across our state prepare for whatever storms came our way. His endorsement means a lot because he knows how important facts, integrity and steady leadership are. >>

Beating Lauren Boebert isn’t about wishful thinking — it takes a serious campaign and a broad coalition. Our campaign has already built both.

You can’t win this district with just one party. I’ve spent years building relationships across the Eastern Plains and throughout the district — and that coalition keeps growing. Join our movement today and let’s take this seat back!

Experience matters — especially in a district as competitive as Colorado’s 4th. I’ve spent my career building coalitions and delivering results. It’s why I’m the candidate best positioned to defeat Lauren Boebert in November.

The work JBS employees did in Weld County during COVID kept America fed. They risked their lives so Colorado families could eat. The media called them heroes. Management treated them as expendable. >> www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

Farmers are getting squeezed by rising costs and lost markets. Meanwhile hedge funds and foreign investors are buying up American farmland. And politicians like JD Vance are profiting from it. That’s not how we protect rural America.

The old saying goes: whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting. So why isn’t our representative fighting for Northeastern Colorado? The Perkins Canal project would let Nebraska dry up some 92 wells and thousands of acre-feet of water in Ovid, Julesburg, and Sterling. >

I was the only Democratic candidate in the entire state to show up at the Morgan County assembly. No wonder people there feel they are overlooked and left behind by politicians in Denver and in Washington, D.C.

Let’s cut through the spin. Here are the facts. Lifelong Republican Eileen Laubacher didn’t switch her party registration to Democrat until March 2025. She missed the deadline to participate in Colorado’s Democratic caucus process.

Bottom line @eileenforco.bsky.social, Democratic voters deserve to hear from you directly. Why did you vote for Trump? And why did you vote for him a second time?

Trisha Calvarese @trisha4co.bsky.social · 06/03/2026
We respect your service. But nowhere in these 3 minutes do you deny that you’re a lifelong Republican who voted for Trump, worked for him, and didn’t switch your registration to Dem until you decided to run. Voters need to know who’s running with a D next to their name.

Kristi Noem being fired doesn’t erase the damage she’s done. Losing a job isn’t accountability. The harm caused by cruel policies and reckless leadership doesn’t disappear overnight. The American people deserve the truth — and real accountability. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Iranian regime has terrorized its own people, especially the women brave enough to risk their lives for basic rights. But a regime-change war with no goal and no plan is not a path to peace.

Last week, I called out Boebert for not showing up in district. She said that she posts tele town halls. She then posted the announcement for her October 2025 town hall...yesterday. As in: Feb 2026. It's OK for the hard-working people of CO-4 to expect more than Boebert's weak act. Help me fire her.

Lauren Boebert voted against the infrastructure law, requested projects from the funding, then voted against those earmarks. Now she is campaigning on the results. That is what being bad at your job looks like.

My name is Trisha Calvarese. I’ve never waited for the right conditions to act, I've acted to change our conditions. I spoke out when our democracy was attacked. I stood up when fundamental rights for women were reversed. And against a rigged economy, I’ve always fought back.

Foreign countries don’t pay tariffs. Americans do. A study of $4 trillion in U.S. shipments found 96% of tariff costs are passed to U.S. consumers. Tariffs are Congress’s job to oversee. bit.ly/4bI5T0e

Lauren Boebert said it herself. She doesn't care about releasing the Epstein files. She doesn't care about survivors. She doesn't care about justice. I do. Help me fire her and I will join Rep Khanna and Rep Massie in their bipartisan pursuit of truth and justice.

Today we honor MLK Jr. and his legacy as a champion of equal rights. It is important we remember the 1963 March on Washington was for Jobs and Freedom. That's because unions and civil rights activists knew that access to good paying jobs with upward mobility is connected to individual freedom.

Great turnout in Loveland. Met a nurse from the ER that just closed. A nonprofit leader feeding hungry kids. An organizer who knows what’s at stake if we don’t take on Big Tech now.
