Colorado Gives More Than $17 Million to Fund DonorsChoose Program

Colorado teachers can apply now to receive $1,000 to purchase supplies, resources, learning materials, and more that will improve the learning experiences. I encourage all teachers to apply today while funding lasts! We are investing a total of $7.1 million to support school supplies, and Colorado teachers can submit projects to receive funding by visiting: www.DonorsChoose.org/colorado

Creating More Housing Now for Every Colorado Budget

Hosting Listening Sessions to Hear From Coloradans On Housing Affordability

I am bringing members of my cabinet and senior members of my administration across the state to hear directly from you about housing, transportation, water, small business, and more. I hosted listening sessions in Grand Junction, Pueblo, and Aurora and was joined by more than 100 community members at each event. My senior team and I got to hear directly about the unique challenges facing each community, and the goals for the community's future.

What They're Saying:

Taking Action to Ensure The State Functions Efficiently and Sustainable

Taking Action to Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reduce Water Use

I am committed to achieving my goal of 100% renewable energy in Colorado by 2040 and cleaner air. To help achieve these goals, I took executive action to ensure that the state is running efficiently and doing our part to conserve resources. We will rapidly upgrade gas-powered lawn equipment to clean energy models and implement water-wise landscaping at new state facilities. These actions will cut harmful emissions, reduce water usage, and ensure that the state is a leader in sustainability.
