We have begun debate on the Democrats' HB-1312, an extreme attack on parental rights. Tonight, the Senate Republicans will be standing up for Colorado parents and fighting for families by taking a stand against this radical bill.

Thank you Senator Lisa Frizell for speaking up for many Douglas County voices today and to our Douglas County School Board Majority for endorsing the excellent points outlined in this letter from a real Mom with lived experience. #copolitics

"Listen to the parents!" We are still on the Senate floor addressing the concerns of parents by fighting the Democrats' dangerous HB-1312. Sen. Kirkmeyer is running an amendment that will guarantee parents are involved in how their children are addressed in schools.

Minority leader put forward an amendment to exclude faith based orgs from 1312. Dems sponsor, NO. I hope one of those orgs sues their pants off.

The transgender bill,that started as a “war on parents” was amended but not enough. The bill is not salvagable. It takes parents out of the equation in determining what is best for their children. That's why I spent hours debating against HB 1312. #coleg #copolitics

“We lost the 1312 battle @ the Capitol … but we took ground, and we will win the war.” Thank you parents- don’t stop now! Take your dedication to fight back all the way to November 2026!

You know it is a bad bill when Governor Jared Polis uses same tactic as extreme Democrats- signs the bill that still threatens families & is a war on parents at about 5:00pm on a Friday. Same time and day the bill was introduced. #coleg #copolitics

I’m calling on the Jeffco School Board to take action for years of failed leadership under Superintendent Dorland. Mishandled sexual misconduct cases. A predator hired after being rejected by Cherry Creek. And Dorland asked for a raise! Unacceptable. #copolitics #ProtectOurKids

SB 290, now law, is a great example of how we can and should be working together for the benefit of Coloradans - a pragmatic & meaningful solution “The health of Coloradans is only as strong as the health of the providers who serve them” #coleg #copolitics

HB1312 - also known as the “war on parents” bill was amended heavily on the Senate floor so Governor Jared Polis would sign it! The only way to 🛑 the extreme left is at the ballot box or in the courts‼️ Let’s go for both! #coleg #copolitics

Only @GovofCo wants the bridge so he can put his name on it. When he introduced it in his budget request I was a NO! Still am a No! THIS IS WHY WE ARE IN A STRUCTURAL DEFICIT. I CALL IT “stupid” SPENDING. 🤦‍♀️ #copolitics #coleg

We need to stand united in declaring that hate has no place here. Acts of hatred and intolerance are completely unacceptable and have no room in our state. We must remain steadfast and never tolerate detestable actions. #standStrongAgainstHate
