That’s a wrap on my final session in the Colorado State Legislature This year we: 🍎 Fully funded K-12 education 🚂 Expanded transit options ☀️ Advanced clean energy & climate goals 🏡 Increased supply of affordable housing ⬇️ And more https://t.co/EO6MoKHdZg #coleg #copolitics

Political assassinations become more frequent and normalized when our rhetoric becomes more vile and dehumanizing. If we want it to stop, we must all do better. All of us.

Everything you wanted to know about the upcoming CO special session. Which is probably very little, but this is a great summary by @JesseAPaul and @brianeason https://t.co/qIzmDu5KjC

And then, remarkably, fifteen years later one of those candidates, @jaredpolis named Andrea the state poet laureate.

One time a bunch of us held a candidate debate for a congressional race and @andreagibson asked one of the questions. It made the candidates cry. https://t.co/F0eL64btoc

My god this is heartbreaking. Melissa was such a good-hearted public servant. Live Updates: Minnesota Lawmaker Is Assassinated in Act of ‘Targeted Political Violence’ https://t.co/5cmaFBAszf via @NYTimes

I wish my friend @Paul_Lundeen only the best in his next chapter, but this is a big loss for Colorado. I'm going to abstain from the obligatory "we disagreed at times, but..." because it's irrelevant. Simply put, Paul is a good man, dedicated public servant, and wise observer of

Today saw a horrible act of violence at a weekly gathering of Boulder Jewish community members. Let’s all hope the victims will be okay with a fast recovery. We all must commit to being more careful about our rhetoric and how it can lead to people doing horrible things to others.

Those macaroni penguins didn’t see it coming. “Among the most puzzling parts of the world hit with the blanket 10 percent tariffs are the Heard and McDonald Islands, remote volcanic islands. The ecologically pristine islands are home to vast numbers of macaroni penguins,

So @realDonaldTrump is real upset at @jaredpolis for putting up a portrait that he thinks makes him look bad. A few funny things about this: 1. This @cologop had to raise the money for this portrait themselves after nobody else would pay for it. 2. @jaredpolis wasn’t even

Awesome to see this partnership already paying off for Colorado. Can't wait for what comes next as we build upon the success.

This was my bill in 2019. We passed this law to save lives. Forced conversion therapy on children leads to suicide. I hope the Supreme Court would agree that even in these polarized times, saving children’s lives is something that we should all prioritize.

Most people already understand how tariffs function like a sales tax, and increase the cost of all items covered from food to clothes to construction materials. Tariffs of 25% with our closest allies and trading partners, Mexico and Canada, would painfully raise prices on

“SB-291 has to be the most influential customer-focused bill we’ve seen in a decade or more” Very proud to have helped pass this bill that came out of our Select Committee on Utility Rates in 2023. Thanks to @GovofCO and the PUC for implementing it. https://t.co/EbITVE38uP

Prop 131 is short-sighted, complicated, and too risky for Colorado. Overhauling our best-in-the-nation elections system is not the answer. 7/7

As Senator Michael Bennet says, The proponents of Prop 131 should practice on a different state with a broken election system, not Colorado. Then, we could at least learn from their experience before being asked to transform our own elections. https://t.co/Kgp2VU4IOb 6/

We should listen to our county clerks when they say this reform would be a recipe for disaster and potentially breed more distrust of our elections. 5/

131 would almost certainly lead to gamesmanship — where the wealthiest candidates prevail. Voters will have less choice, as many districts will likely only have one party represented on their ballot for general elections. 4/

In the state where this form of RCV has been implemented (AK - a state with a population the size of Denver) has resulted in an estimated 10x the amount of ballots being thrown out & not counted. https://t.co/dD8nYF4KPi 3/
