Today, families in Colorado and nationwide are receiving another monthly payment thanks to Michael’s work to expand the Child Tax Credit. Michael is working on passing a further extension of the expanded Child Tax Credit, which has already kept three million children out of poverty nationwide.

Take a look at how it’s helped Coloradans:

“I was out of a job for nearly a year due to the pandemic and we were living on savings, with every dollar we could spare going toward groceries. The advance Child Tax Credit payments were literally keeping our two children fed.” — Denver parent

“It’s helped me to stay afloat and pay for bills and helps me pay rent, food, and necessities of day-to-day life for my kids. I have three, ages 14, 11, and 5 months old.” — Englewood parent

Research shows that this tax cut is pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into Colorado’s economy every month — it isn’t just good for parents, it’s good for the economy that all Coloradans rely on.

Now, Michael wants to hear from you so we’re collecting stories about the impact of the Child Tax Credit.

How has the Child Tax Credit temporary expansion helped you or those in your community? Michael is fighting to extend it for years to come, so your feedback is critical to his negotiations.

Thanks for your continued support,
