To be elected by the people and to be entrusted with their faith to develop policy for their future, is a privilege beyond measure.
Thank you to my community for trusting me to advocate for them and to advocate for progressive changes to support Coloradans.

I know Tony well; I helped recruit him to continue his service as a Colorado Springs firefighter to run for the House. He has passed bills targeted housing, health, education, and public safety needs of his community.
Please join me in supporting Tony Exum for SD 11.
For eight years @TonyExum has represented the voters of HD 17 and he is now running for SD 11 to continue to represent his community at the Capitol. This race is one of the most competitive in the state.
This 2022 Legislative Session, elected officials fought to reduce disparities amongst Coloradans. @PeteLeeColorado received Healthier Colorado’s Bridging the Gap Award for championing bills that create more health equity across the state. #coleg#cohealth#copolitics@COSenDem
Our Zero Fare for Better Air program will help further our climate goals while giving Colorado families cleaner, healthier air to breathe.
Offering free transit will also save Coloradans money at a time when pandemic-induced inflation remains high.

An amazing meeting today with @PeteLeeColorado, who has dramatically expanded restorative justice (RJ) in CO, & @kara_beckman, a youth RJ expert to discuss my youth RJ bill. This bill will ensure that meaningful accountability & healing are at the heart of juvenile justice in MN.

Ten years ago 12 innocent lives were tragically lost in Aurora in an act of unspeakable violence. Today we are remembering the lives that were lost that day and recommitting ourselves to creating a safer Colorado for us all.

This session, 8 legislators received a 100% on our legislative scorecard. They were fearless advocates for supporting people who use substances with #CareNotCuffs, and stood with us and other harm reduction advocates in opposing HB22-1326.

We call on every single member of Congress to put politics aside & pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, a federal measure that will codify abortion rights in law, once & for all.
Abortion is a fundamental right & we will fight for that right – for as long as it takes. #coleg
