I won't rest until we've gotten the job done on the Build Back Better Agenda

  John, Late Friday night, I voted to pass the historic $1 trillion infrastructure bill. It didn't include everything we'd hoped for, but it will have a tremendous impact on millions of folks across the nation. And it will finally make the long-overdue investments we need in everything from ou…

We have no more time to waste, the Senate must act now

Did you see Diana's email from earlier this week? Here's what you need to know: The Supreme Court heard arguments on the most restrictive abortion ban in the country on Monday. The decision in this case will have repercussions for millions of people across the country. There's something the fe…

I'm not waiting around for the courts to save us

  John, This week, after living under the effects of SB8 for TWO months, patients and providers in Texas finally had their day in the Supreme Court to challenge this unconscionable abortion ban. Let's be clear: we should have never gotten to this point. SB8 is the most restrictive abortion la…

Before the Halloween festivities begin...

Hi John, I wanted to catch you before the Halloween festivities began because tonight at midnight, we're facing the first critical deadline of this fundraising quarter -- October's end-of-month deadline. Right now, we're only $461 shy of our goal. This is great news, but coming up even a few doll…

  John -- In Congress, Diana is working hard to pass the Build Back Better agenda, protect reproductive rights, fight climate change, and more. But with only three days until October's end-of-month deadline, our team isn't on track to meet our fundraising goal. We need to catch up. Diana's u…

Here's why the fight for Colorado values is important to me:

  John, As a fourth-generation Coloradan, my love for Colorado runs deep. Whether it’s our great outdoors, thriving small businesses, or culture of innovation, Colorado is a place that is leading the nation in so many ways. But, we still have a lot of work to do to ensure that everyone can be …

Diana's working to keep our land, air, and water free from pollution

John, Today is the anniversary of the Clean Water Act of 1972, a critical environmental law that sets a national standard for our water quality. Unfortunately, the Trump EPA, led by climate deniers, revised key pieces of the Clean Water Act and removed protections from certain waterways. This …

Where we stand

I'll keep this short, John. We're facing our critical FEC end-of-quarter deadline, and we're just short of our fundraising goal. Republicans only need five seats to take back the House majority, and they're already targeting districts in Colorado and across the country to do it. With reproductive…

Do you want to defend abortion rights, John?

Will you be one of 40 people from Philadelphia to rise up against Hyde?

John -- we need your help. The Hyde Amendment has barred federal funds from being used to pay for abortion care since 1976. The millions of people who are covered under Medicaid don't have full access to reproductive health care. Many have to choose between paying for an abortion or covering ba…
