Denver didn't build this fight overnight. I've been in the room when it mattered most: protecting your health care, rights and family. Now with democracy on the line, we can't afford to step back from the fight with Donald Trump. Fill out your ballot. Return it before June 30. The work continues.

Last night didn't go the way I'd hoped, but I'm proud of every fight we took on together these last 30 years for reproductive rights, for our environment, and against Donald Trump. Thank you for the honor of a lifetime and congratulations to the next Congresswoman from Denver, Melat Kiros.

Good morning, Colorado - it's Election Day! To keep fighting back against Trump, RFK Jr., and their efforts to take away our rights, I need YOUR vote by 7PM tonight. Make sure you VOTE today!

Passing my 21st Century Cures Act means those with chronic and rare diseases know their conditions are being researched for treatments and cures. I'm grateful for all the patients and advocates who helped me make this bill a reality!

Happy Pride, Denver! My team and I had a joyous time celebrating the progress of the LGBTQIA+ community yesterday, and we are resolved to stay in this fight until true equality has been achieved.

A huge THANK YOU to my fellow Progressive Caucus member and colleague Rep. Pramila Jayapal for your support in this race. Together, we will pass Medicare for All and make good on the promise that health care is a human right!

I’m participating in a forum tonight with my opponents at the Denver Press Club, where the late Lynn Bartels was a cherished member. Lynn was an example for women in journalism, politics, and public service. I know I speak for many when I say she will be greatly missed.

We're proud to endorse @degette5280.bsky.social for CO-1. A gun violence prevention champion who knows weapons of war don't belong on our streets, in schools, in grocery stores, places of worship, or anywhere we go - we need Diana in Congress to keep fighting for Coloradans and all of us!

My opponent has lied about me since she launched her campaign. I can't believe I have to say this, but it's an absolute lie that I or my campaign had anything to do with her venue cancellations. She’s free to make her own mistakes, and campaigning with an infamous anti-semite...

...who says he “hates this country”...and thinks we “deserved 9/11” is a big one. The worst part is that Melat Kiros thinks voters are gullible enough to just believe whatever she says. Denver is smarter than that, and we won't be fooled.

Fighting back against this administration to preserve and expand women's rights has never been more important. Proud to be doing this work alongside the National Organization of Women PAC.

Thank you to today's volunteer canvassing team, including LiUNA Local 720 who have always been there in this fight! Together, we're getting the word out about how I'm fighting back against Trump and preparing to pass Medicare for All into law. Your support is what makes this campaign possible!

Always love meeting with community members to hear about their concerns and ideas. So appreciative of everyone who came out to Cafecito at Bar 38 earlier today, and for your support in this election!

Extreme MAGA Republicans are calling for me to be hanged because I'm ready to fight back against the Trump administration and protect YOUR ballot access rights. They can't intimidate me - I'll stand up for you and against Trump EVERY SINGLE DAY.

THRILLED to be endorsed by El Semanario, a publication with deep roots in our community. Your faith and trust means so much to me as I continue fighting for the working people of Denver.

I've opposed this illegal war in Iran since Day One. Today, a majority of House members agreed: Donald Trump must come before Congress and explain himself to the American people.

I’ve fought hard to protect our environment, especially from Donald Trump and this administration. I am so honored to be endorsed by the League of Conservation Voters. Thank you!

You can never compromise your principles. But you can find ways to work together. Cancer research, and drug and device approval at the FDA, for example. That's the kind of work we need to do in a bipartisan way - but NEVER compromising our values or ideals.

Budgets are a reflection of our nation's values. Under Trump and his GOP cult in congress, we have the greatest divide between the rich and the poor in America's history. I'm fighting to end that.

We need to reverse Trump's cuts: especially the healthcare benefits. I've called for an immediate end to the war in Iran. We must spend that money on programs to support working Americans.

I have some experience standing up to Donald Trump. In his first term, I presided over his first impeachment trial, and I convinced Republicans like Bill Cassidy to vote for impeachment. I'm the fighter we need right now to be effective against Trump's agenda.

Thank you, Plumbers Local 3, for this endorsement! I’m fighting back against Trump’s assaults on working people, and I'm honored to have you alongside me in that fight.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of Elect Democratic Women. Their mission – to elect more women to Congress – is such a critical one, especially now. While this administration wages war on women, I will keep fighting to protect and expand our rights and representation.

Freedom comes at a price. Today, we honor the costs paid by those who've served and their loved ones, both in Denver and around the country. The best way we can honor them is to defend and fight for the values they loved: justice, liberty and equality for all. #MemorialDay

RFK, Jr., advancing his anti-science agenda. Free preventative services save lives and are a cornerstone of the ACA, they shouldn't be meddled with by a science denier who couldn't even answer simple questions about women's health during last month's hearing. www.fox13now.com/news/nationa...

fox13now.comRFK Jr. fires leaders of group that sets guidelines for preventive health screeningsThe Trump administration has fired the two leaders of an influential health group that determines when insurance must provide free preventive care, like mammograms and colonoscopies, for Americans.

Proud of Colorado Dems' vote to hold Governor Polis accountable. Tina Peters belongs in prison for violating the public trust. Governor Polis’ commutation of her sentence disrespects every Coloradan who worked to defend our elections.

Spouting this kind of hateful bigotry is utterly disgusting and must be condemned at every turn. Antisemitism at its most undeniable. The people of TX-35 must vote for Johnny Garcia, and make it clear that this kind of rhetoric has no place in our party or in American government.

Science should never be political. That’s why I’ve sponsored a bill to limit the number of political appointees at the National Institutes of Health, and push back on Donald Trump’s politicization of scientific research.

My friend John Lewis would have been so proud of today's marchers in Selma, and so resolved to fight back against this new wave of voter suppression and disenfranchisement, as he always was.

Recent actions from SCOTUS, Tennessee, and other states reaffirm that we must make passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act a major priority of the next Democratic Congress.
