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:

Our president saying a foreign adversary should "take out" American cities is dangerous & a complete betrayal of the most crucial responsibility of the commander in chief: to protect the American people. Donald Trump is the most incompetent, corrupt, & unfit leader our country has ever seen.

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.

Every student in Colorado & across the country deserves to feel safe, supported & protected at school, no matter what. The Dept of Eds decision to roll back Title IX protections for LGBTQ students is a devastating step backward. I'll keep fighting to ensure EVERY student is protected under the law.

It's a scary world when the President of the United States is ousting media outlets from the White House and pushing his own state-run media. We need our independent media to help us hold this rogue admin accountable. I stand with CNN, MS NOW, & POLITICO in fighting this dangerous abuse of power.

Thankful for the opportunity to sit down with @pettersen.house.gov and Center Forward this week to talk about our work in crafting the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act and the need for more bipartisan solutions in Congress.

Together, we’ll keep working to lower housing costs for American families.

Head Start ensures our most vulnerable kids have access to the care, nutrition, & health services they need in those early years. Now Trump is trying to gut their services. I will fight every effort by Trump to dismantle this program & work to protect families and kids across the country.

The Republican health care crisis is hitting families across the country with the largest increase in costs in decades, and it's about to get so much worse. We will never forget that they ripped health care away from millions to give tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans.

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.

More chaos. More dysfunction. And more economic instability. While Trump has paused his 50% Canadian tariff for now, this marks 2 years of turmoil that will have long-lasting impacts on our economy and the costs of goods for Americans.

This is what happens when Trump lets politics decide who gets support and who doesn't. Real communities suffer because our CO chose to protect its citizens rather than bow to political loyalty. Federal funding should serve the public, not be weaponized to punish communities.

Wildfires aren’t a red or blue issue—they're an urgent crisis facing Colorado & the West. That's why I introduced a bipartisan package of wildfire legislation designed to respond to the reality our state faces. Protecting our homes & public lands will take a sustained, all-hands-on-deck effort.

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.

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.

@pettersen.house.govJul 30, 2026, 2:41 PM

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.

Here in Colorado, we're facing a shortage of over 100,000 homes. But Colorado isn't just seeing the problems—we're leading the way on solutions. Tackling Colorado's housing crisis requires bold, bipartisan solutions that cut red tape and expand inventory where families need it most.

The June jobs report is in, and it's a warning sign. Just 57,000 jobs added — that means fewer opportunities for all of us. I know how hard Coloradans work to stay afloat, and how they are now being forced to do more with less. That's not a success story; that's Trump's economy.

nbcnews.comU.S. adds just 57,000 jobs in June, a worrying sign as wage growth remains slowIt was the slowest month of hiring since February, when the labor market contracted. The unemployment rate slipped to 4.2%.
