Let's talk

John, I'm sure you've heard from me and my team this past week — but I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone that helped us with our FEC end-of-quarter deadline last Wednesday. Because of you, we closed our fundraising gap, and you also helped show that support in Colorado is still strong…

Trump's loyalists are still trying to push this

John, In just the first quarter of 2021, we ushered in a new administration, made strides toward advancing progressive values like gender equality, immigrant rights, police reform, and wilderness conservation, passed a new COVID-19 stimulus package, and are on track to getting vaccines into all ar…

John, Yesterday, a mass shooting at a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder stole the lives of 10 people. There are no words that can adequately express the fear and sadness in the wake of this senseless attack. My heart is with the Boulder community. A trip to the grocery store, working a sh…

We need to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act

John, The unspeakable tragedy in Atlanta that left eight people killed -- six of them Asian women -- was an act rooted in white supremacy and misogyny. And it put the increase in disturbing violence we've seen against the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community over the last year…

re: Bipartisan Background Checks Act

John, No one should fear for their safety in their home, at a movie theater, at school, walking down their street, at a concert, sitting in their car, or anywhere. That's why Diana was one of the first co-sponsors of the historic Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019 (H.R. 8), the first me…
