Standing up for Colorado's small businesses against Democrats' HB 25B-1005, which axes the sales tax vendor fee that helps retailers cover collection costs. In this economy, it's a gut punch to Colorado job creators (businesses) already scraping by. Again, let's address the real issue: overspending.

Happy Columbus Day from Portugal, where Columbus first set his sights west. It took real courage to sail into the unknown on a voyage that changed history. Grateful for the bold and exploring heritage that helped shape America. 🇺🇸 My son qualified to represent the USA at an International Endurance event that just happens to be hosted by Portugal this week 👍🏻🇺🇸

Twenty-five years ago today, nearly 3,000 lives were lost. We honor them, along with the first responders who ran toward danger and all who showed courage that day. We will never forget. We remain committed to the freedom and unity those attacks tried to destroy. 🇺🇸

Labor Day is for the people who build this state. The trades, the small businesses, the families who put in the work all year and rarely get a mention. And for everyone clocking in today, because the work doesn’t stop for the calendar. Happy Labor Day, Colorado.

Your property shouldn’t be taken without a conviction. Period. Proud to have been a prime sponsor of HB26-1250, requiring a criminal conviction before civil asset forfeiture and guaranteeing property owners access to defense counsel. Due process won bipartisan support this session.

One hundred fifty years ago today, we became the 38th state. Still the best view in the country, and still the best people. Proud to represent Senate District 13. Happy Colorado Day!

Happy 150th Colorado! And 250th USA!! From on top of Mt Sneffels (14,158ft). And on a somber note, my grandparents house in Rye where my dad grew up and us boys did too, burned to the ground today. Lord please send rain 🙏🏻

Coffee, cultura, and community. Thank you to everyone who stopped by Carnicería Las 4 Americas to talk with me this past weekend. It’s an honor to meet our Latino community where they are and hear directly what’s on your mind.

This is the easiest thing I’ll do today! My ballot is in for Weld County! Proud to support proven conservatives who put families, freedom, and results first — especially Barb Kirkmeyer for Governor. It’s time! Let’s stand together and keep building a stronger, brighter Colorado. 🇺🇸

Happy Flag Day. 🇺🇸 Today I’m grateful for everyone who has served beneath it, and recommitted to building the brighter future it represents.

Happy National Trails Day! Hopefully everybody gets a chance to experience the amazing trails Colorado has to offer this summer. The Rainbow trail south of Salida got some great attention today!

Big news for Colorado families! I’m so excited to share that SB 26-020 is officially law. This bill is the result of amazing collaboration between childcare providers, parents, and our Department of Early Childhood. We sat down, listened, and figured out exactly how to make our state’s childcare system more efficient, effective, and accessible for everyone, especially families who need support the most. This is a huge step forward in building the robust childcare system Colorado deserves. Stay tuned as we keep pushing for more opportunities for our kids and parents! #COpolitics

FirstBank was sold to PNC, and the result is 777 layoffs across Colorado starting June 30. That is roughly a third of its workforce in the state. Behind that number are hundreds of families, many of them people who have served their communities for years. When the sale was announced, credit unions warned that layoffs and less local investment would likely follow. Senate Bill 25-080 would have let banks partner with local credit unions to help keep jobs and financial assets in Colorado. It died in committee. What we are seeing now is exactly what that debate was about. Colorado’s credit unions are stepping up. They have set up a job resource center and resume bank, and many are hiring right now. If you know someone affected, please pass this along, and if my office can help, get in touch. gowestassociation.org/job-ma…

Our flag flies because of those who never made it home. This Memorial Day, we remember their sacrifice.
