There’s always something great happening in Colorado to start the year! 🏔️ From the National Western Stock Show to free museum days, plus the Colorado Symphony’s MLK tribute and the Marade—there’s something for the whole family. https://ow.ly/KYYs50XR96B

We are focused on investing in and addressing the issues Coloradans care most about, such as education, and I look forward to working with the General Assembly on a balanced budget that invests in our future. https://ow.ly/kZEk50XRfeN

Medicine Wolf focuses on sustainability and by repurposing beetle-kill pine and crafting artisan beautiful furniture. It was great to stop by earlier this week.

Happy New Year Colorado!!

Happy New Year’s Eve Colorado! As you gather to ring in the new year with family and friends, please remember to drive safely and do not drink and drive! Make smart choices. Have a designated driver, take a taxi or ride share, and make it to your destination safely. https://ow.ly/PPJ850XQHal

And with that..the 2025 season comes to an end!

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Senator Nighthorse Campbell. He will be missed here in Colorado and across the country, and his contributions leave a lasting legacy to our state and nation. https://ow.ly/Qzfz50XQwBn

Colorado is the best place to live, work and enjoy some fun music! Here’s my 2025 Wrapped. Enjoy!

Took a quick work break to go outside, look up, and yell “Let it snow!”

Despite the sunshine and warmer than normal temperatures, this is winter in Colorado! Drive with caution, keep your car in good condition to avoid emergencies during a winter storm, and most importantly, please don’t drive intoxicated. Maybe making sure we are ready will bring on the snow!

Today I visited Medicine Wolf Log Furniture in Denver. Jon Weekley crafts beautiful beds, tables, and chairs using locally sourced beetle-kill pine. This is exactly the kind of Colorado innovation I love to see — a business that supports local jobs, and keeps materials out of the waste stream.

Colorado’s 150th birthday gets a stamp! 📬🎉 On Jan. 24, USPS will issue a commemorative Forever stamp honoring statehood, featuring Jagged Mountain in the San Juans. A perfect way to send some Colorado pride.

North America's largest wildlife overpass just opened in Colorado over a busy stretch of road, helping animals safely cross while keeping our roads safer for the roughly 100,000 vehicles that travel here each day. A win for wildlife and driving safety! https://ow.ly/9wt950XOrvQ

Pine beetle infestations are spreading across Colorado’s Front Range, putting forests and communities at risk. That’s why we took a science-based approach, created the Ponderosa Mountain Pine Beetle Task Force, and boosted fire mitigation tools to keep communities safe. https://ow.ly/V3pi50XOrv5

Wishing a joyful and meaningful Kwanzaa to all who celebrate. May this season of reflection and community bring unity, purpose, and hope for the year ahead.

Colorado’s world-class marijuana industry drives out criminals and cartels and is supporting Colorado businesses and jobs while driving revenue for school construction. This important milestone is one that our state can continue to build on.

Colorado ranks #1 for affordable utilities. 💡 Families spend about $568/month — just 6.4% of median income, the lowest share in the nation. Smart energy policy + clean power = lower costs. Now let’s reduce outages, big time. https://ow.ly/58Ks50XOr53#1

Christmas Day wins all around 🎄🏀

Now that’s a Colorado Christmas 🎄🏈 Big win for the Broncos today—way to show up and make the holiday even sweeter!

Christmas comes early for Colorado sports fans! The Denver Broncos and Denver Nuggets are both playing on Christmas Day—a perfect holiday gift for fans across the state. Let’s cheer on our teams and celebrate the season together!

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. I encourage everyone to share the Christmas spirit of kindness, connection, and caring for one another—values that make Colorado strong.

On this Christmas Eve, I wish Coloradans peace, warmth, and a joyful holiday season. 🎄✨

Coloradans celebrate the holidays with traditions you won’t find anywhere else—rooted in community, creativity, and a little mountain magic. 🎄❄️

From National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation to John Denver’s The Christmas Gift to Winter in Vail, Colorado views are always camera-ready.

🎄 My Christmas List

Grateful to Colorado Parks & Wildlife officers & techs who supported wildfire response in Yuma County—driving equipment, helping landowners, spotting hot spots, & reinforcing fire lines. Teamwork that protects lives, property, and Colorado’s landscapes.

Riding the Winter Park Express is a fun and easy way to hit the slopes while skipping traffic. One-way fares start at just $9 for adults and $4.50 for kids—good for our roads, our air, and your weekend plans.

Santa needed Rudolph to light the way…families need lower costs, not higher prices from tariffs.

Here’s a tighter BlueSky-friendly version: 🎒📚 Universal Preschool is delivering for Colorado families! Applications for 2026–27 are already up nearly 49% on day one, and free preschool has helped 100,000+ families save over $6,300 a year—while giving kids the best start. UPK.Colorado.gov

Holiday shopping is better when you shop local. Loved visiting Clothes Pony & Dandelion Toys in Old Town Fort Collins—a sister-owned small business at the heart of the community. Supporting local shops keeps our downtowns strong. 🎄✨

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Governor’s Residence! To celebrate Colorado’s 150th Yuletide, we decorated each room to honor a different part of Colorado’s history.

I hope that all who celebrated had a wonderful Hanukkah! As we light the candles on the final nights of Hanukkah, we celebrate the miracle of light, the strength of community, and the joy of coming together. Wishing everyone peace, warmth, and Chag Sameach! ✨

In Colorado, we are taking action to build more homes, lower costs, and save Colorado families money, and the HOME Act does exactly that. Thank you Representative Andy Boesenecker for your leadership on making it easier to afford to live in our great state

Hello, Winter Solstice! ❄️ Shortest day of the year—yet somehow still setting heat records. Science > vibes.

Had a blast touring Odell Brewing Co. in Fort Collins! 🐾🍺 Their Top Dog Competition is a summer favorite, and they give back to employees & the community. Support businesses that support people! #ColoradoProud

Local businesses are the heart of our communities. This holiday season, support Coloradans, strengthen our economy, and shop local—it’s the Colorado way!

Great speaking with Megan McArdle for the Reasonably Optimistic podcast about our Colorado focus on freedom, affordability, and opportunity! Check it out! https://ow.ly/zM7E50XMCIb

All aboard the Winter Park Express! 🚆 Affordable, convenient, and safe, it’s helping Coloradans travel, save money, and reduce traffic & pollution. Fares are cheaper than ever—try it this year! https://www.amtrak.com/winterparkexpress

Colorado agriculture makes the holidays sweeter! 🥕✨ Proud to see 4th-gen Hungenberg Produce bringing fresh, Colorado-grown carrots to families nationwide with Walmart—just in time for Santa’s reindeer. #ColoradoProud #COAgriculture #HolidayTraditions https://ow.ly/x1XB50XMA9H

Follow along with me on a day in Northern Colorado!

The HOME Act will reduce barriers to build more housing centrally located in communities where Coloradans want to live, embracing Colorado partners who are eager to be a part of the housing solution. Doing so will help lower costs and give families more options. https://ow.ly/uXPI50XLFNY

Education is the foundation of opportunity. I fight for every student, Pre-K through higher ed, to innovate, expand what works, and prepare them for careers, civic life, and well-being. Our communities and nation deserve nothing less. https://www.nga.org/news/commentary/2025-in-education/

Colorado’s forests across the Front Range and foothills are under threat from pine beetles, and their damage to trees increases wildfire risk. We are launching a new task force to bring together experts and communities to protect our trees, watersheds, and communities.

Outrageous: the Trump admin is targeting NCAR, our top weather & climate research center. Its forecasts save lives and protect our economy. Gutting it puts Coloradans & the nation at risk. We should be boosting science, not dismantling it. https://ow.ly/lQUm50XLF0b

Our focus is on action and safety in Yuma County. Fire departments are on scene in Yuma County, with multiple fires reported and crews working to contain them. The largest fire — near County Road 33 — remains active while others have been contained. We continue to monitor conditions.

A Colorado for All is our vision and our promise. A place where everyone—no matter who you love, how you identify, or what you believe—can thrive. We reject division and hateful rhetoric. In Colorado, love, resilience, and community will always win.

Great to visit UNC in Greeley to see the future College of Osteopathic Medicine. Thanks to HB24-1231, Colorado is investing in higher ed & healthcare—training the next generation of physicians and expanding access, especially in rural areas. Learn more: unco.edu/college-of-osteopathic-medicine/

Colorado led the nation with smart, safe cannabis policy—cutting illegal markets, protecting public safety, and funding education. Outdated federal rules hurt small businesses. I pushed the Biden admin and will keep pushing the Trump admin to follow the facts. https://ow.ly/9AxI50XLbS5
