[Colorado Senate Republicans @ColoSenGOP]

Today, Colorado took an important step to protect children and hold predators accountable with the governor signing SB26-015 into law.

@commish_pelton's bill strengthens penalties for those who exploit children through commercial sexual activity, establishes tougher consequences for offenders, and closes loopholes that have allowed predators to avoid meaningful punishment. The law also increases penalties for internet luring when tied to the exploitation of children.

Every child deserves to be safe. Every predator deserves to be held accountable.

Colorado Roads are among the worst-maintained in the country; it’s no surprise that we see accidents like this. We need to prioritize roads and public safety.

**ROAD CLOSURE** (Pueblo County,CO) - Highway 50 C at milepost 13 (west of Avondale) is closed in both directions due to a crash involving a chemical spill. Choose alternate routes. It is unknown when the roadway will reopen. Check https://t.co/E7d3MpLbVZ for updates.

The governor has vetoed HB26-1255. Keeping Coloradans safe is important, but we can do that without giving up our constitutional rights. This bill would have forced strict rules on social media companies and increased government control over online speech, without clear evidence that it would help.

Colorado already has SB-011, which requires social media companies to answer law enforcement warrants within 72 hours. HB26-1255 would have cut that time to 24 hours and added new reporting rules, even though there were concerns about practicality, due process, and possible unintended effects.

We can protect our communities while also protecting civil liberties.

[Colorado House Republicans @COHouseGOP]

We are deeply saddened by the passing of former Representative Lois Landgraf, who faithfully served House District 21 and the people of Colorado for eight years.  Lois was a staple of the Republican Party and a steady, trusted presence in El Paso County, always fighting for commonsense conservative solutions that made our communities safer and stronger. During her time in the House, Lois championed legislation that made our communities safer and stronger. From creating the Training Veterans to Train Their Own Service Dogs pilot program to support veterans living with PTSD, to making sure assault by strangulation is clearly defined in statute and prosecuted as a serious felony, and leading one of the toughest synthetic‑marijuana crackdowns in the country. Her legacy is written into Colorado law and carried forward in the veterans, families, and communities who are safer and more secure because of her work. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and all who loved her.

Last week, I joined the @ColoradoBRT for a legislative discussion on the 2026 session.
Thank you for the opportunity to discuss the challenges and priorities facing Colorado’s business community. I will continue advocating for solutions to keep Colorado competitive.

[Colorado Senate Republicans @ColoSenGOP]

Happy Birthday to @Sen_John_Carson! Have a great day!

[Colorado Senate Republicans @ColoSenGOP]

There is no better champion for Western Slope communities than Senator Catlin. Every bill he sponsored this session was passed and signed into law, delivering real results for the people of Colorado.

Watch, like, and comment if you’re from the Western Slope and want to show your support for Senator Catlin!

At a community event, House Minority Leader @jarviscaldwell and I gave a wrap-up of the 2026 legislative session and highlighted the victories we were able to secure for the freedoms of Coloradans. Still, many bills passed by the #Democrats …

.@Sen_John_Carson, a strong advocate for the taxpayer's bill of rights (TABOR) and law enforcement, was successful in protecting what matters most to you by passing common-sense legislation during the 2026 session.

Like, share, and comment if you support these initiatives as much as Senator Carson.

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage, sacrifice, and devotion to freedom will never be forgotten.

This Memorial Day, we pause to reflect on the cost of liberty and express our deepest gratitude to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the United States of America.

At the 2026 Western Mining Summit, Colorado Senate Minority Leader @SenSimpsonCO spoke on legislative initiatives supporting mineral development and shared insights alongside Wyoming @GovernorGordon. He participated in discussions on the role of policy in strengthening the mining sector. At the summit’s conclusion, the @ColoradoMining Association recognized him as a Champion of Mining for his ongoing commitment to the industry and its significance to Colorado’s economy and communities.

As a dedicated Weld County businessman, @ScottBright4Sen pours his heart into what matters most: our kids and their education. Representing a wonderfully diverse community, he had a massive 2026, championing 21 bills with the vast majority signed into law. That’s a huge win for District 13!

Support the mission by liking, sharing, and commenting on Senator Bright's video today!

In 2024, Colorado ranked 48th in the country for the number of new business establishments per capita and last in the nation for employment losses tied to business closures. When businesses leave, jobs follow. CSI's latest research has the data.

“Pull back the curtain and find out what the men are doing, and women are doing behind that curtain with Senate Bill 135, because they are doing nothing more than increasing taxes on taxpayers when we are one of the most unaffordable states in the nation. How about the governor talk about that?” - @SenKirkmeyer

The 2026 Legislative Session has finally come to a close.

This session brought long debates, tough decisions, bipartisan work, and important conversations about the future of our state. From affordability and public safety to water, transportation, education, and economic growth, Colorado Senate Republicans tackled important issues impacting every corner of Colorado.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the process, constituents, advocates, staff, local leaders, and Coloradans who made their voices heard.

As the Capitol lights dim on another session, the work continues back home across Colorado.

[Cleave Simpson Colorado State Senator District 6 @SenSimpsonCO]

I am all about efficiency, and that’s why SB26-136, a bill I sponsored that eliminates unnecessary regulation and holds executive agencies accountable, was signed into law today.
I will continue posting key updates for my constituents and all of Colorado in the coming days.
