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.

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.

Today, on the 75th National Day of Prayer, we pause to give thanks for the blessings of faith, family, freedom, and the greatest nation on Earth. America was founded on the principle that our rights come from God, not government, and we must never lose sight of that truth.

God bless our families, God bless Colorado, and God bless the United States of America.

Today marks the 150th anniversary of the @ColoradoMining. As someone who has worked as a mining engineer for more than #20years, I strongly support a resolution on the Senate floor to recognize that a healthy and vibrant #mining industry is essential to our state’s future.
