Post-COVID recovery for rural CO healthcare is hard. #PublicOption makes it even harder. Expensive, one size fits all, big government plan isn't what rural Coloradans need! Great column in the Sun today by the Colorado Business Roundtable’s Debbie Brown:

When it comes to improving health care, most Coloradans want the same thing: lower costs, improved access and a higher quality of care. However, some of the one-size-fits-all proposals out of...

130 rural hospitals have closed down since 2010. Here’s a good column from Senator Ray Scott on the devastating impact that a “public option” healthcare system would have on rural Coloradans’ access to care:

Ensuring access to health care in western Colorado and throughout rural America is a constant challenge. Now, between the financial strain brought on by COVID-19 and the emerging threat of

Greatly welcomed grant relief available through @fema to help extinguish the Grizzly Creek Fire. We are all incredibly thankful for the crews working 24/7 and praying for the safety of the communities in the area. More on the grant announcement here:

After years of tireless local advocacy and bipartisan collaboration, it’s truly an honor to officially welcome BLMHQ to Colorado’s Third District!.
With @SecBernhardt signing of SO-3382, BLM's HQ is now officially in Grand Junction, Colorado. "There are neither maps nor memos that replace the wisdom gained by putting your feet in the dirt of the land you manage. " #DOIDelivers

I look forward to today's @FinancialCmte hearing to see how effective CARES Act has been (especially for rural communities) & how Congress & the Administration can continue to put political differences aside to remain focused on the dire issues at hand.

It's been three months since the CARES Act was signed into law. We understood then just as we do now that there would be necessary changes and tweaks along the way, but already this critical legislation has helped and will continue to help millions of Americans battle COVID-19.

Help the fire crews out by paying attention to local fire restrictions. This is important to do all year long, but especially in the summer months. #KnowBeforeYouGo .
One-third of Colorado is now in a severe drought, mostly in the south

PILT plays a critical role to help these communities bridge budgetary challenges and I look forward to these funds being used to support essential infrastructure and services that would likely not exist without this money.

Colorado’s Third District is fortunate to have abundant public spaces for recreation and shared use, but given that many of these areas are non-taxable, a lack of tax revenue places significant budgetary constraints on rural areas.
Thank you to @Interior and @SecBernhardt for delivering critical PILT payments to communities with large amounts of public lands across the country. These are the communities the Western Caucus was founded to fight for and will continue to fight for!
