Senator John Hickenlooper

Proudly serving the people of Colorado in the U.S. Senate.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Public lands are part of the Colorado way of life and they should be for generations to come.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

As we mark Veterans Day, we want to thank the brave men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform and served our country.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Government funding in scientific research is America’s superpower. 

We need it more than ever and Colorado is ready to be a leader in innovation.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

It’s no wonder people have lost faith in government. 

The Trump administration is out of control. Washington should work for Colorado, not special interests.

The future has arrived!

These Democrats represent the best of our country and party. They come from different backgrounds, but share a commitment to public service and delivering on affordability and accountability.

Can’t wait to roll up our sleeves and work with them!

First Freshmen Senator selfie! Couldn’t ask for a better team.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Over 33,000 Coloradans, including over 12,500 children, have lost SNAP benefits under President Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’. 

We will not let this cruelty stand.

Tonight, the Senate voted to advance the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act.

Democrats across the country ran on lowering costs, holding Big Tech accountable, and stopping the Trump administration’s attacks on clean energy. This is an opportunity to deliver on all three.

This bill isn’t perfect. No bill is. We should continue working with Tribal Nations and environmental groups to strengthen it as it moves through the legislative process.

But we have a golden opportunity to make good on our promise to voters to make energy more affordable. We cannot afford to let it slip away.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

Our permitting bill lowers energy costs and emissions, boosts clean energy, and creates good jobs.

There’s a lot to like about this bill.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Our staff is closely tracking the flooding recovery in Southwestern Colorado and we’ll continue fighting to get these communities the resources they need. 

Coloradans are as tough as they come. We know we’ll get through this together.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Rules for thee, but not for me.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. Period. 

It’s time for accountability.

Q: If I said Joe Biden is the part owner of a company and it has all of these investments from the Middle East, you would say that sounds corrupt, right?

Trump: Well, he did have a lot of different things.

Q: Sure, but why is it different for you?

Trump: Because I know nothing about it. I made a lot of money before.

Q: But then why do you need the money? Why not just divest, walk away?

Trump: I do.

Q: No, you didn’t.

Trump: I have a company. My sons are in the company. It’s hard to say to them, don’t do anything anymore for four years because I’m president.

Q: But you could divest from the company yourself and let them do whatever they want. That’s all. You’re not, like, sitting in the Oval Office thinking, Thank God I have that $50 million in World Liberty Financial, right?

Trump: How do you divest from cash?

Q: Do you think the people—the people who are investing in the company that you co-own with your sons, who are coming from foreign countries, who want things from your government—don’t you think they think that they are buying influence?

Trump: I don’t know, but that’s true. Look, every president has a problem. You have people, and they work for you. And guys like you cover them, and you do profiles on them, and they become like everybody thinks that Trump loves them and everything else, which in some cases is true and some cases are not.

This is true for every president, going back to George Washington.

Q: Every president has not owned a cryptocurrency company, however.

Trump: But they own something, whatever crypto was at the time. Okay, you know, there’s crypto. And before that, there was oil. Okay. And every president has had this problem.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

The voters have spoken: they’re sick of Trump’s vanity projects.

And what’s the first thing he does? Tout a ballroom costing hundreds of millions of your taxpayer dollars and sign an executive order to make his gold-decorated Oval Office a national monument.

Enough of the waste. Enough of the distractions. It’s time to get serious about helping working families. https://t.co/DcNq02AFn4

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

If you’ve spent any time in the Pikes Peak area, you know just how special it is.

Thrilled to see the region named a Sentinel Landscape, which recognizes its importance to conservation, community resilience, and military readiness. https://t.co/jB9Zl0diwf

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Yet another reason why the National Center for Atmospheric Research is so awesome!

Getting kids excited about science starts with opportunities like this. We need to protect this incredible institution and the important work it does.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Heartbroken to hear about the Lakewood police officer killed in the line of duty last night.

Our thoughts are with the officer’s family and friends. We’re also praying for the three officers and civilian who were injured and wish them a speedy recovery. https://t.co/N41KgYIRmj

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

The damage we saw in the San Luis Valley today is almost hard to fathom.

We’ll do everything we can to ensure these communities get the resources they need as fast as possible.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Colorado’s entire congressional delegation is united in helping Southwest Colorado and the San Luis Valley recover from these devastating floods.

We’re urging President Trump to swiftly approve Colorado’s Major Disaster Declaration request and get these communities the resources they need to rebuild.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Heading to the San Luis Valley today to see the flood damage firsthand and hear from local leaders about recovery efforts.

We're also checking in with leaders across Southwestern Colorado who have been impacted by these devastating floods.

These communities are sadly no strangers to devastating floods. Their resilience is remarkable, and we'll keep fighting to get them the resources they need to rebuild. https://t.co/NpdQPjEZYw

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

We’re fired up to deliver for Coloradans:

→ Lower healthcare costs with our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act 

→ Prevent wildfires with our Fix Our Forests Act 

→ Make Big Tech foot the bill for data centers 

→ End the war in Iran 

→ Bring down costs

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Americans are fed up with a corrupt system that works for only a privileged few.

We need affordable gas, groceries, housing, and healthcare. We need to end the forever wars and disastrous tariffs. And we need to rein in this administration’s lawlessness and cruelty.

It's time Washington started working for Colorado again.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

The election is over and the people have spoken. Americans want us to lower costs, end corruption, and build a better future.

Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work.

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

Colorado, it’s Election Day! 🗳️
