Despite being outnumbered and out-gunned, Ukraine has reclaimed over half the land seized by Russia during its invasion. They helped restart the commercial grain trade with Asia and Africa.

We need to support Ukraine

I want to keep you updated about my work in Congress, friend. Congress has a monumental decision to make — to support Ukraine in their defense of democracy, or to abandon them when they need our support the most.For the last two years, the Ukrainian people have won battle after battle in their fight…

Last week, Donald Trump won the Iowa Caucus by 51 percent.On Tuesday, he won the New Hampshire primary by 54 percent. We can’t bury our heads in the sand.

How we can fight back for reproductive rights

Today marks the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that protected abortion under the Constitution.  In June 2022, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court overturned Roe. In the year and a half since, we’ve witnessed the devastating consequences of that decision, which denied w…

You may have heard, friend, about my New Year's resolution. In 2024, my goal is to elect Democratic leaders in Colorado and across the country who will fight for the issues that matter most. That’s why I’m starting January by endorsing Jason Crow, who represents Colorado’s Sixth Congressional Distr…

Lauren Boebert voted against new jobs for her district

Friend, Once the steel capital of the West, Pueblo powered our state and our country for decades. But like many American cities, Pueblo paid the price for a 40-year Washington consensus that stretches back to Ronald Reagan. It's easy to summarize: National Republicans cut taxes for the wealthiest Am…
