At a time when Coloradans are struggling with rising costs, the last thing we need is a 10% increase on utility bills. I urge the commission and Xcel to find a solution that doesn’t raise costs.

I’m deeply honored to have the endorsement of @emilyslist.bsky.social! EMILYs List delivered the House majority to Democrats in 2018, and together, we’ll flip this seat and lower costs, protect healthcare, and defend Colorado values in Congress. #CO08

Happy American Education Week! As a first-gen college grad from a working-class family, I know how life-changing strong public schools can be.

Honored to receive the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Colorado Legacy Award! This year, we collaborated on my law to build more housing that middle class families can afford. Thank you for your work to lower costs for Coloradans! #CO08

Loved joining a bipartisan panel of legislators with the CO Solar & Storage Assoc. We need cheap, reliable energy, but Gabe Evans voted to take a wrecking ball to #CO08's clean energy sector – killing jobs & risking higher utility bills. I"ll always protect jobs & work to lower utility costs.

Colorado families are facing a 200% health insurance premium increase. Unlike Gabe Evans, I will work tirelessly to lower costs – not make things worse. #CO08

Thank you to the Central Adams Retired Educators for having me to talk about our state budget, keeping kids safe in school & more! I'm grateful for these retired educators, who stay involved to ensure every kid gets a great education & that teachers have the resources they need. #CO08

Happy Veterans Day and thank you to all who have served. Freedom isn't free and today we honor the bravery and selflessness of all of America's veterans. I stopped by the Adams County Veterans Memorial to honor our vets and the service of my stepdad, who served in the Marines in Vietnam.

By learning about the history of #CO08 communities, I'm gaining a greater understanding of how best to serve you. I loved visiting with the Commerce City Historical Society & hearing about their work promoting the city's history – check out their museum and preservation efforts!

Took part in Commerce City Council Member At-Large Charles Dukes’ office hours where residents shared thoughts on transportation funding, job opportunities, bringing down housing costs, economic development, and ensuring our representatives continue to look out for Commerce City.

I know how important homeownership is to achieving the American dream & I'm honored that the Colorado Association of Realtors named me a Legislator of the Year! This year, I passed a law to remove red tape & create more housing that middle-income buyers can afford. I'll keep working to lower costs.

Honored to have the endorsement of Elect Democratic Women, a political organization led by Democratic women Members of Congress! I'm excited to join the women of the House Democratic Caucus to lower costs, protect healthcare, and fight for our Colorado values. #CO08

I’ve passed multiple laws to crack down on auto theft — and now, auto thefts are falling, including a 52% decrease in Adams County alone. There’s still more work to do, but this is great progress. I’ll keep working to keep all Coloradans safe. #CO08

What a treat to join the Commerce City PD's Día de los Muertos celebration last night! I loved seeing these talented kids perform and it's always great to see Adelante Community Development providing important resources to neighbors. Thank you for bringing the community together! #CO08

1/2 Running for office isn't easy and I'm grateful to everyone who throws their name in the ring to make Colorado the best state to live in.

Tomorrow, SNAP benefits stop going out – putting 600k Coloradans, half of whom are children, in danger of going hungry. I voted yesterday to increase funding for food assistance – but we need Gabe Evans to get back to DC & solve this crisis. #CO08 www.denver7.com/lifestyle/fo...

It's day 30 of the government shutdown and SNAP benefits stop on Saturday, putting tens of thousands of Coloradans in danger of going hungry. Meanwhile, Gabe Evans is MIA. I voted today to put more of our state dollars towards food assistance. Please donate to a local food bank if you can. #CO08

October is Plasma Awareness Month, and I loved touring CSL Plasma in Northglenn yesterday to learn more about the lifesaving work they do and hear stories from donors and patients. Plasma donations save lives – thank you to everyone who gives! #CO08

The federal gov't is shut down, but kids can still receive meals at schools. I joined Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera at an Adams 12 elementary school in Westminster today to discuss school meals w/ teachers, administrators & kids. The future looks bright with these impressive kids leading the way!

Thanks to Gabe Evans' inaction, health insurance premiums are set to double next year for Coloradans. It's inexcusable. In Congress, I'll work every day to lower health insurance costs – not make it harder to get by like Gabe. #CO08 www.denverpost.com/2025/10/27/c...

Thanks to the government shutdown, 40,000 Weld residents won't receive SNAP benefits starting November 1. It's time for Gabe Evans to get back to the negotiation table to re-open the government and fix this mess for Colorado families. #CO08 www.ftluptonpress.com/news/weld-wa...

Enjoyed joining my colleagues and Poudre Valley REA today to learn about their work to prevent wildfires. Their work to ensure reliability and to keep utility rates affordable is commendable. I know that recent utility rate increases have been painful. I'll continue to work to bring costs down.

1 in 4 Weld residents rely on food assistance. Now, the Weld Food Bank is facing a $700k shortfall thanks to rising costs & greater need caused by Gabe Evans' tariff taxes & his vote to cut SNAP. In Congress, I'll work to lower the cost of food & create jobs – not make things worse like Gabe #CO08

Wishing our #CO08 community a Happy Diwali! May your Festival of Lights be joyous and prosperous.

I loved seeing so many familiar faces at No Kings in Northglenn who are standing up for our constitution & ready to fire Gabe Evans! Gabe has voted 100% with Trump & stayed silent as he rips away crucial funding from our district. Next November, we'll send him packing. #CO08

I loved touring Faris Machinery's Commerce City location yesterday and learning more about the issues facing Colorado's equipment distributors, as well as their partnership with the Community College of Aurora to provide trade education and job opportunities. Thank you for having me! #CO08

Thanks to you, we had another strong fundraising quarter! Together, we’ll flip #CO08 and lower costs, expand healthcare, and protect our Colorado way of life.

The 2,500 members of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1001 keep our region moving. I'm honored to have their support! “Shannon has consistently fought for better roads and transit and to increase public safety resources to keep transit operators safe. ATU Local 1001 is honored to support her.” #CO08

Thank you to everyone who came to our recent meet & greets in Sherrelwood and Westminster! I loved hearing your ideas on how we can work together to lower the cost of goods, health care & housing. Your feedback is the cornerstone of this campaign, and together, we'll flip #CO08 from red to blue.

Great meeting with the Northern Colorado Veteran Resource Center in Greeley to learn more about their incredible work supporting veterans! More than 36,000 vets call #CO08 home and I'm looking forward to continuing to support our veterans and military families in Congress.

I had a wonderful time attending the Greeley-Centennial Rotary Lunch Bunch meeting this week! It was great meeting with members and hearing about all the incredible work the club is doing to build community and make a difference in #CO08

I had the pleasure of meeting with United Way of Weld County yesterday to learn about the tremendous work they’re doing to support families through their programs. Their dedication to improving lives across Weld County is truly inspiring. Check out Weld Project Connect next week!

Thank you to Sunrise Community Health for having me at your clinic in Evans! I’m inspired by the incredible work you’re doing to ensure families in #CO08 have access to quality, affordable care. I’ll continue to fight to lower healthcare costs — not rip away coverage.

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend Dacono's first ever Fall Fiesta celebrating Hispanic Heritage, and Carbon Valley Help Center's Empty Bowls Fundraiser. These events showcased the vibrant community we have in #CO08. A place I am so lucky to call home.

It was great stopping by Thornton Harvest Fest this past weekend in #CO08. It was wonderful running into friends and seeing all the families participating in the event. Thank you to the city and the vendors who participated and made it a huge success!

I had an absolute blast this morning at Commerce City's Fall Fest. It was great seeing friends and taking a moment to learn about the city's Civic Academy, which provides residents with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of how local government operates.

The Trump administration just cancelled a $6 million grant to fix Fort Lupton’s water treatment plant to punish Colorado. And where’s Gabe Evans? Completely MIA because he serves his party, not our #CO08 community.

I had an inspiring morning learning about the great work of Berthoud Habitat for Humanity, which provides affordable homeownership opportunities and helps so many achieve the American Dream. With rising housing costs in Berthoud and across #CO08, Habitat's work is more important than ever.

G'mar Chatima Tova to our #CO08 Jewish community. May you have an easy and meaningful fast.

Everywhere I go, our #CO08 neighbors tell me costs are out of control. Now, Coloradans could see healthcare premiums nearly double — all because Gabe Evans chose to shut the government down rather than find a solution to lower healthcare costs. We need Gabe to get back to DC and do his job.

Just 24 hours till the end of our quarter, and we're leaving it all on the field. I'm on the phone dialing for dollars during the game – please help us crush our fundraising goal by chipping in $10, $25, or whatever you can afford before Tuesday's deadline: secure.actblue.com/donate/bird-...

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Thornton meet and greet today! Loved hearing your ideas about how to lower costs in Colorado. Neighbor to neighbor, we're building a movement to flip #CO08 from red to blue.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Westminster meet & greet! I’m working every day to lower costs, protect healthcare, and strengthen our democracy. 💙 #copolitics

Deeply honored that Insulators Union Local 28 has endorsed our campaign today! "Shannon has championed blue-collar jobs and worker protections in the legislature, and will fight tirelessly to create good-paying jobs and lower costs in Congress.” #CO08

It was a big weekend for community festivals in #CO08 - I loved meeting neighbors at Northglenn Pirate Fest & Lochbuie Fall Fest! Everywhere I go, I hear that our community is deeply concerned about affordability & healthcare. I'll continue to be laser-focused on lowering costs.

🍎🍯 Shana Tova! Wishing our Jewish community in #CO08 a year filled with sweetness, joy, and renewal. May this new year bring health, happiness, and peace.

“While we face strong economic headwinds and uncertainty driven by the chaos in Washington, Colorado is now in a better position, in a large part due to our special session efforts to fill a $1 billion gap caused by Congressional Republicans,” - JBC Vice Chair @shannonbird4co.bsky.social.

Deeply grateful to Plumbers Local Union 3 for their support! “Shannon has been a champion for labor, supporting workforce development & apprenticeships. In Congress, she'll deliver for blue collar workers by relentlessly focusing on growing wages, lowering costs & creating good-paying jobs.” #CO08

What a joy to see so many friends at today's Commerce City Hispanic Heritage Celebration & to eat tasty treats from Las Dos Americas! Had some great conversations about the need to lower costs, protect Medicaid & ensure bilingual students can thrive. I'll continue to advance these priorities #CO08

Great morning at Welby Days with my good friend Adams County Commissioner Steve O'Dorisio! It's always a treat to meet neighbors and see Adams County 4-H – they teach kids critical leadership skills that will last a lifetime. #CO08
