Our country was founded on the promise that if you work hard, you can earn a better life.

But rising costs are putting that opportunity out of reach for hardworking families.

In Congress I’m working to lower costs so every Coloradan can live their version of the American Dream.

[Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, MD @RepCaraveoMD]

Today, I cast my vote in support of working families across #CO08 to keep the government open, despite efforts by Elon Musk and far-right Republicans to block critical assistance for agricultural workers, seniors, veterans, military members, and federal workers.

I was proud to honor the hard work and legacy of @DenverChannel Chief Meteorologist Mike Nelson next to my colleague @RepEricSorensen in Congress this week.

Congratulations to Mike on his well-deserved retirement after 40 years of forecasting!

Two years ago, the Respect for Marriage Act was signed into law by the President.

This was an important step to enshrine justice and dignity for all Americans, and ensure they can marry who they love.

[Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, MD @RepCaraveoMD]

The time to act is now!

Republicans must join @HouseAgDems in passing $10 billion in critical assistance for America farmers and extending the Farm Bill.

Farmers, families, and rural communities need this Farm Bill extension immediately.

In less than two years, my office has returned over $7 million to the working families of Colorado’s 8th District.

[Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, MD @RepCaraveoMD]

⛅️ With 40 years of forecasting — dedicating 25 of those to Colorado, Mike Nelson became a familiar face and trusted voice for weather in our state.

Proud to have celebrated Nelson’s retirement on the US House Floor with my colleague @RepEricSorensen

We will never forget the 2,403 servicemembers and civilians who lost their lives in the attack on #PearlHarbor.

On this 83rd anniversary of that tragic day, we honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

My bipartisan Prove it Act will allow small business owners to be heard when they feel the federal government is imposing expensive roadblocks on them.

[Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, MD @RepCaraveoMD]

NEWS! My bipartisan Prove it Act to cut through red tape & defend small businesses time and money just passed on the House Floor with bipartisan support.

Very excited that this is my fifth piece of legislation to pass the House this Congress.

Sixty-nine years ago today, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began. This peaceful protest was one of the foundational events of the Civil Rights Movement and played a vital role in the integration of public buses.

[Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, MD @RepCaraveoMD]

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving filled with warmth and joy! Grateful for the company, the food, and the strength of our communities in Colorado. Celebrate with joy and gratitude!

[Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, MD @RepCaraveoMD]

I am so proud that my hardworking team of constituent advocates has returned over $7 million to the pockets of hardworking Coloradans across #CO08!

In less than two years, we have cut through the red tape and delivered results for so many families.

[Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, MD @RepCaraveoMD]

Today marks two years since the horrific, hate-filled shooting in Colorado Springs at Club Q.

We must honor those whose lives were taken and combat anti-LGBTQ+ hate and violence so every American can live safely and with dignity.

Hate has no place in Colorado.

[Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, MD @RepCaraveoMD]

1 in 5 Americans is a caregiver, yet far too many go unpaid and unrecognized. Caregivers need support.

This #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, I stand with my colleagues to advocate for policies that support caregivers’ mental, physical, and financial well-being.

[Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, MD @RepCaraveoMD]

As a doctor, I am extremely concerned about the role RFK Jr would play as the Secretary of HHS.

His long history of spreading baseless claims about vaccines and pushing to tear down several decades of medical progress will obstruct Americans from the healthcare they need.

[Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, MD @RepCaraveoMD]

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law makes historic investments in:

🌉Road and bridges
🧳Safe travel
✈Airports
🚍Clean buses and ferries

After three years, the BIL has made meaningful improvements to #CO08 Infrastructure that will have benefits for decades to come.

[Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, MD @RepCaraveoMD]

I’m so glad my office was able to help Ruth from Thornton!

[Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, MD @RepCaraveoMD]

Millions of Americans who paid into Social Security have been stripped of their retirement benefits due to the WEP and the GPO.

Yesterday, I voted to pass the #SocialSecurityFairnessAct to repeal these harmful provisions and right this wrong.

[Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, MD @RepCaraveoMD]

🇺🇸Our servicemembers stand as models of patriotism and selflessness.

Today we are honoring all those who have served our country with courage, sacrifice and dedication.

Happy Veterans Day!
