It was great to be back in Lake County to see the incredible work local volunteers are doing to provide meals & support families in need.
The @FoodBankRockies and community partners are serving over 1,200 people, including through hot meal programs and a mobile food bus that delivers directly to those who can’t travel.
More than 50% of the people they serve are children, seniors, or individuals with disabilities. With Trump's reckless budget slashing food assistance, it’s critical we ensure Lake County has the resources to continue meeting this growing demand.
I visited the Food Bank of the Rockies to see first-hand their important work to help Coloradans in need.
Trump & Republicans just made one of the largest cuts to food assistance for low-income families & children.
In the richest country in the world, no one should go hungry.
Grateful for the opportunity to help kick off the Roots & Rhythm Music Festival in Longmont last night — a community gathering not just for great music, but for supporting hungry families across Colorado.
Democrats from across Colorado came together for the annual Obama Gala to support the efforts of the Colorado Democratic Party. We were joined by Governor Roy Romer, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, Colorado Young Democrats and others for the occasion. #coleg#copolitics
Congress is considering the most significant rollback of federal nutrition programs in American history. This is a direct threat to farmers, retailers, and food insecure Americans. Contact your members now and tell them to vote NO on devastating cuts to SNAP and Medicaid.

I am a union member, a farmer, a battleground state organizer, a national environmental and labor advocate, and a former elected leader who flipped a three-term rural red seat to blue.
I am running to serve as Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee because I believe the DNC must lead the fight to rebuild, reform, and re-invigorate the Democratic Party.
Join me in this fight and together we can build a stronger Democratic Party.
