It was so great to join scientists and other policymakers for tonight's biodiversity symposium. It is always great to see that Colorado has strong advocates like Congressman Neguse, who fight for biodiversity at the federal level.

It was great catching up with Rep. Diana DeGette in DC this week to talk clean energy! We discussed her leadership on the Advance Act and its role in expanding clean energy nationwide. Denver is leading on clean energy! DC was exciting, but nothing beats coming home to Colorado!

Colorado families shouldn’t have to bear the burden of fluctuating gas prices. I am committed to working on solutions to make energy cheaper, cleaner, and more reliable–from renewables to consumer protection. To better days ahead. denverpost.com/2025/03/18/xce…

My bill, HB25-1290: Transit Worker Assault & Funding for Training, passed out of the house on third reading this week! I am proud to stand with transit workers and help ensure their safety on the job. Everyone deserves to have a safe workplace.

I had the pleasure of chairing the Committee of the Whole, discussing a wide range of legislative bills. It’s always an honor to oversee the lively debate dressed in my favorite pink suit!

As we remember the 168 lives lost in the OKC bombing, we must confront how McVeigh's views crept into the GOP and the White House. The president’s ideas are dangerous. Democrats must do more to expose and reject this hateful ideology. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/a…

Rep. Willford and my bill, HB25-1269: Building Decarbonization Measures, just passed the House! We're driving building decarbonization, updating efficiency standards, and creating support to help buildings meet them. The bill is now off to the Senate!

This is another story about how we pay more and get way less. I shop at a store on this list. It's the least safe place I go on a regular basis. westword.com/news/denver-ki…

Today is a holiday, so we can remember those who have fallen while defending this country. I hope you can spend time with your family today and reflect on veterans' service to us all.

Denver animal shelters need pet parents! It’s heartbreaking to see so many loving animals waiting for a second chance. If you’ve been thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, you should consider looking at your local shelter. westword.com/news/denver-po…

I’m so tired of the violence. The Pearl St Mall is a place of extremely happy memories for me. Today, someone used this place to make some kind of demented political statement. My heart is sad for the injured and sad about another violent event in Colorado.

Roy Romer stole the show at the DemFest Gala, reminding me of why he was governor. He rallied the crowd with an honest and Colorado common-sense vision for winning people back. I miss hearing from someone who exemplifies what makes Colorado different.

Proud that Governor Polis signed HB25-1290 into law. This sends a clear message: we will not tolerate violence against RTD workers. They keep our communities moving and deserve safety, respect, and dignity on the job.

My local government asked for this. And with the governor's signature, they will have the ability to control the tipped wage at the local level. I hope Denver will take action to ensure we remain competitive in the region.

This bill, although it was taken lightly, is meant to inform people that it is important to vent the gas stove to the exterior of their gas home. Just as you would with your furnace or water heater. Almost 90% of people do not do this.

Innovative technology alone won’t shape our clean energy future, community buy-in will. At COP28, I spoke about why state and local engagement is the missing link in scaling clean energy. It takes all of us to build a future for all of us.

The reason you don’t turn your back on the LGBTQ community? Coors. They were boycotted for years and now they’re showing up. Unlike Nissan, Target, Verizon Walmart, Starbucks, and Chase. When we’re under attack, you show who you are. axios.com/local/denver/2…

People are choosing to buy EVs. They are inexpensive to lease or buy used. You can plug in at home: no oil or maintenance. And, of course, the batteries are engineered to perfection. No law will change the demand for cheap, cleaner transportation. denverpost.com/2025/06/13/tru…

This is more proof that electric vehicles last longer than gas-powered vehicles, making them even cheaper to own. insideevs.com/news/763231/ev…
