Colorado Democrats passed laws to expand tax credits for working families and create the new Family Affordability Tax Credit. Reports are now showing that these laws have helped Colorado earn the lowest rate of childhood poverty in the country.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of former Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell. He will be remembered not only for his advocacy for Colorado but for Indigenous communities throughout our country.

Congressional Republicans failed to extend the ACA tax credits this year, which will jack up health care costs for everyone and cause tens of thousands of Coloradans to lose coverage altogether. Colorado Dems will do everything we can to keep Coloradans safe and healthy.

Happy Hanukkah! May each candle add a little more light, hope, and happiness to the season. #coleg #copols

Wishing a joyful Hanukkah to all who celebrate. May this Festival of Lights bring peace, warmth, and strength to every home and heart. 🕎 #HappyHanukkah
