Michael Bennet and the Child Tax Credit Many of us already are familiar with the Child Tax Credit that was passed as part of of the American Rescue Plan, but did you know the leader behind this bill was Colorado own's Michael Bennet?
The fully refundable and expanded Child Tax Credit, provided an average savings of $428 per month for 600,000 Colorado families!
A huge thank you to Senator Bennet for all that he does for Colorado and the country at large!

Voting Rights The Colorado House and Senate passed measures calling on Congress to defend democracy and pass critical voting rights protections on Tuesday. The measures , HR22-1004 and SM22-001, reassert the validity of the 2020 election results and highlight Colorado’s Gold Standard elections system to the nation as a model for holding free, safe, and secure elections. Democratic legislators condemned attempts across the country to restrict voting rights, lauded the safeguards in place in our state, and urged action to protect voting rights across the country.
Republicans in the House offered and largely voted in favor of amendments calling into question the election of Joe Biden as president, encouraging states to conduct sham Arizona-style election “audits,” and thanking Representative Ron Hanks and the insurrectionists who attempted to stop the US Congress from certifying the 2020 election certification on January 6. |
