Celebrating Pride Month in Our Colorado For All




I visited the annual
[link removed]
Denver Pride Parade to celebrate love and freedom, and elevate our continued work to build a Colorado for All. It was great to join state agencies participating in the parade. Happy Pride Month!



Collaborating on Issues that Matter Most to Coloradans


I joined my fellow bipartisan Western governors for the
[link removed]
Western Governors' Association summer meeting in Santa Fe, New Mexico to discuss shared policy issues and collaborate on innovative solutions.


Western governors have the unique ability to come together and get things done. During this meeting, we discussed some of the issues that matter most to Coloradans, including housing, education, agriculture and wildfire mitigation - issues we are delivering on for Coloradans. While we may not agree on every issue, we still manage to find a way to learn from each other to better support the people we serve.






I also recently visited

Fieldhouse Apartments in Clear Creek County, a new housing complex creating 120 new homes for hardworking Coloradans. Through Proposition 123, the State of Colorado approved an expected $8.5 million in investment capital to build these new homes.


I was excited to visit the newly completed
[link removed]
Summit Fire & EMS Station 10, a critical investment that will help protect Coloradans and communities in Summit County. Our mountain communities are no stranger to the danger wildfires pose for Coloradans and our communities. I was thrilled to meet with staff and hear about how to better keep Coloradans and property safe from wildfires in Summit County.
