Today we honor the brave men and women who have worn our nation's uniform. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication to protecting our freedoms will never be forgotten. To all who have served - thank you.

Bent’s Old Fort is an important part of our history, and we need to do what we can to revitalize it and ensure it remains a part of our future.

Residents have until October 23rd to submit public comments on the four concepts being considered for the fort’s future. I encourage everyone to take a look at the options and make their voices heard.

Preserving our history and keeping these important pieces of Southeastern Colorado alive matters. Let’s do our part to move Bent’s Old Fort forward!

Thank you to the residents of Kiowa County for inviting Senator Rod Pelton and me to Eads!
We had a great conversation about the Blue Book and ballot measures, answered questions, and helped folks better understand their options before making their decisions. ✅ #TyHD47

Saturday night, I attended the Civic Leaders Dinner in Boone.
A good reminder of why 4-H matters.
We watched these kids in action, from raising livestock to decorating cakes.
Thank you to Jen Dionisio and 3 Sisters Farm, Dairy & Flowers, and everyone who makes 4-H, FFA, and the Pueblo County Fair possible, including our Fair Board, CSU Extension, county staff, the Colorado State Fair, and local farmers, ranchers, and businesses.
Look around, Pueblo. These kids will be leading this community before we know it, and I’m proud of what I see. #TyHD47 #4H

CPW PUTS WOLVES AHEAD OF COLORADO’S LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS

Today, CPW suspended the Chronic Depredation Directive—the process meant to address wolves that repeatedly kill livestock.

What’s even more troubling is how it was done: no public notice, no Commission vote, no hearing, and no opportunity for ranchers to weigh in.

Colorado’s livestock producers spent years working with CPW in good faith, investing in nonlethal deterrents with the understanding that when those measures failed, lethal removal remained an option.

Now that commitment has been changed.

Our ranchers didn’t ask for wolves to be put on the landscape, but they are being asked to bear the cost and consequences.

Traveled to Walsenburg to attend the San Isabel Electric annual meeting. Good conversations with folks about energy costs and how we keep our power reliable for the future. #TyHD47

Had the best kind of Colorado weekend 🇺🇸 the kind that reminds you why this work matters! Started in Pueblo at the rally, then headed to Walsenburg for the Mountain Mining Days Parade, and wrapped it in La Junta watching my daughter play volleyball. From the energy in the crowd to the pride on those streets to the grit on the court , HD47 has the best people! Grateful to represent you. #TyHD47

What a weekend! I was honored to attend the Legislative BBQ at the Colorado State Fair, then join the State Fair Parade Saturday morning. So proud of all the kids whose hard work and accomplishments earned them a spot at the Fair. Loved seeing the patriotism and such a strong turnout.

It was great to have the opportunity to speak with members from Southern and Southeastern Colorado at the 2026 OEDIT Outreach and Impact Summit in Trinidad.

Great day in Southeast Colorado with Senator Pelton touring Prowers Medical Center in Lamar and Wiesbrod Memorial County Hospital in Eads. Both facilities are making important investments to keep rural Coloradans healthy and ensure quality healthcare remains close to home. Rural hospitals are vital to our communities, and it’s great to see them growing and improving! #TyHD47

Trinidad, Colorado
Regarding the Arrest of Gage Montoya

“These allegations are sickening, vile, and deeply disturbing. My heart breaks for the victims, and I am praying for every child and family impacted by this case.
I stand with the law enforcement officers and investigators working to protect children from predators and bring those responsible to justice. I am grateful for their dedication and the critical work they do to keep our communities safe.”

It was great to be at the Huerfano County Fair celebrating the hard work and dedication of our 4-H youth exhibitors and enjoying the Buyers BBQ. There’s nothing better than coming together as a community and celebrating the values that make rural Colorado so special. A great day of fellowship and community! #TyHD47
