Johh,

For months, I warned the American people that Donald Trump's big ugly tax bill would wreak havoc on state budgets. Now, Colorado is the first state to feel the strain.

Due to the Colorado tax code, any federal changes to the law are almost immediately mirrored in our state. Last Thursday, state lawmakers were called back to Denver for an ongoing special session to address the devastating effects Trump’s tax bill has on our state budget.

Colorado may be the first to deal with the effects of the bill, but it won’t be the last. I’m fighting every day in Congress to stop policies that put Colorado and other states in crisis. But I can’t do it alone. Will you chip in today toward my campaign's end-of-month goal to help me keep standing up to these reckless decisions? >> [link removed]

In the current fiscal year, Colorado was set to have around a $289 million surplus in the budget. The average taxpayer would've received around $200 in refunds. Instead, the big, ugly bill has given us an $800 million deficit.

State legislators now have to find $800 million to cut from our state’s budget. Colorado Democratic legislators are doing what they can to protect critical services, but this is going to hurt our state. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, Johh.

This didn’t happen by chance. Republicans rigged the system to benefit the ultra-wealthy, and working people are paying the price.

I’m fighting tooth and nail to protect Coloradans from Trump's big, disastrous bill, but I need you with me. Now is the moment to show we have the grassroots momentum to fight back and hold this administration accountable.

Chip in to help us keep our momentum going so we don't fall short of our crucial end-of-month fundraising deadline for August. >> [link removed]

Thank you,

Diana
