PASSED! Today, the Senate voted 23 to 11 to pass my bill with Sen. @JeffBridges to help increase the availability of affordable housing by streamlining the approval process for modular housing units! #COLeg #COPolitics. The bill goes now to the House for further debate.

We love celebrating birthdays in the Senate, even for those Senators who (like me) have birthdays during the months when the Senate is not in session. #COLeg #COPolitics. And oh yeah, @RepJoeNeguse was there, too.
