What happened yesterday in Boulder was horrifying and heartbreaking — a terrible act of violence against members of our Jewish community, many of whom are seniors. My heart is with the victims of this senseless attack, their families, and everyone grappling with the trauma.

My heart is broken following today’s attack on my home of Boulder and Colorado’s Jewish community. Divisive, hateful rhetoric must stop. We all must commit to peace and safety in both our words and our actions. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those impacted.

The General Assembly has passed a FY2025-26 state budget that includes $1.2 billion in cuts. Serving on the JBC was challenging, but we got to a good place and I am proud of our work. Next year will be even harder. coloradosun.com/2025/04/21/c...

“Too often, insurance companies deny necessary mental health claims with little to no justification, and Coloradans already struggling end up with huge costs or no care at all," said @judyamabileco.bsky.social. "This bill would help Coloradans get the care they need at a price they can afford.”

Keeping young people out of the criminal justice system with evidence-based deflection programs is good for kids, good for families, and good for Colorado. My bill creating a grant program for these services passed the Senate Judiciary Committee today. @cosendem.bsky.social @youthlaw.bsky.social

Coloradans with serious mental illnesses cycle through emergency rooms, jail, and even homelessness because of gaps in our crisis response resources. This bill will help Coloradans access the care they need to get better. @cosendem.bsky.social www.senatedems.co/newsroom/sen...
