I’m proud to be endorsed by Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado! Self-determination is a basic human right and a core Colorado value. That includes the right to safe, legal, and accessible abortion. I’ll continue fighting to protect abortion access and reproductive freedom in Colorado.

I was proud to stand with D-11 teachers and families yesterday to demand the school board hold Superintendent Gaal accountable for recent allegations of mishandling internal complaints, and that they return Dr. Givler to her classroom after nearly a year of being on retaliatory leave.

The final decision on Project Taurus is coming up. I’ve secured a speaking slot for the Sept. 17 public meeting at 9 AM at the Pikes Peak Center and plan to speak in opposition on behalf of HD-16. What concerns do you want me to bring with me? What do you need me to say on your behalf?

I’m proud to be endorsed by Colorado Ceasefire PAC. After the Club Q tragedy in HD-16, I stood alongside survivors and families. That experience strengthened my commitment to reducing gun violence. I’ve worked to pass common-sense protections and will keep showing up. Everyone deserves to feel safe.

Now that we know who my Republican opponent will be in November, let's make the distinction clear: My opponent is a union buster who cancelled our teachers' contract in D-11, and is being bankrolled by the same big business interests that pick your pocket every day.

Check out this explainer on surveillance pricing! The legislature passed a bill this year to prohibit corporations from using your personal information to jack up prices or suppress your earnings. The governor vetoed it, but we’ll bring it back next year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVU1...

Today is Juneteenth, the most recently added Federal holiday. It marks the occasion when, in 1865, Federal troops arrived in Galveston, TX and notified people still enslaved there that slavery was no longer legal. It's a day of jubilee, when the last enslaved people were liberated. 1/7

Loved marching in the Pikes Peak Pride parade and celebrating our LGBTQIA+ community’s resilience. Pride matters because shame and attacks still harm our people. I see you, I’ve got your back, and we’re going to win this seat back so I can keep fighting for you. 🌈

I had a great time with friends old and new at Demfest and the Obama Gala yesterday! The voters have handed Colorado Democrats a mandate to govern, and in my view we should use it to fight for meaningful, systemic change. Primary ballots go out this week -- get yours in by June 30th!

Last year, the D11 School Board dissolved our teachers’ union contract, which had been in place since 1968. Since then, hundreds of experienced teachers have left the district. I was proud to stand with educators yesterday as they stood up for better schools for students and educators alike.

These are war crimes he's talking about, no two ways about it. It was a bad idea to put a rapist and a fraudster in the Oval Office, and it's going about the way that we said it would if he got back into office. It's going to take a lot more than his removal to recover.

We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end.
