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

We need to end corruption in our government. That's why I signed on to the End Citizens United Unrig Washington campaign, pledging to: ❌Reject corporate PAC money ❌Ban Members of Congress from trading individual stocks ❌Crack down on dark money by increasing transparency requirements

Stopped by the Kids First Health Care breakfast this morning in Commerce City! They do critical work providing health care in schools so kids can focus on attending class. I'll keep working to lower health care costs & ensuring all of our kids have the tools they need to succeed. #CO08

Great to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month by joining a town hall in Commerce City w/Unidos, CLLARO, Adelante Community Development, and other orgs to hear about the concerns of the Latino community in #CO08. Heard a lot about lowering costs & passing immigration reform – I'm committed to doing so.

I loved joining the Commerce City Chamber of Commerce to learn about the promises and challenges facing local businesses and about the great work the South Adams County Water & Sanitation District is doing. I’ll continue to show up and listen to neighbors’ concerns.

New endorsement: Northglenn Mayor Meredith Leighty joins Team Bird! “Shannon’s work in the State House to fully fund our public schools & increase resources for first responders has greatly benefited Northglenn. I know she’ll continue to champion those values in Congress.” #CO08

New endorsement: I'm honored to have the support of Sen. Dafna Michaelson Jenet! “Shannon is a champion for Adams County. We’ve worked together to strengthen our education system, lower healthcare costs & support first responders. I know that she’ll champion these values in Congress." #CO08

I loved seeing so many familiar faces today at the Adams County Festival Latino, including the good people of the Adams County Democratic Latino Initiative. What an incredible annual tradition showcasing vibrant small businesses, non-profits, and of course, the car show! #CO08

I'm so honored to receive the Superintendent's Excellence in Education Award from the St. Vrain Valley School District! In the legislature, I was the lead sponsor of the law that fully funded Colorado schools. I'll keep working to ensure every kid has an excellent school. #CO08

The 6,500 members of the Colorado Professional Fire Fighters Association run towards danger to keep us safe. Deeply honored to have their endorsement and that of the International Association of Fire Fighters. I’ve always work to deliver for our first responders. #CO08

Today, I'm thinking of the families of the nearly 3,000 people we lost on 9/11 and in the years since, as well as all those still struggling with health effects from that day. I'm forever inspired by the courage of the first responders who ran towards danger. May we #NeverForget.

I'm so grateful to have the support of Colorado State Board of Education Member Kathy Plomer. Kathy is a community leader as well as a fierce advocate for public education. I'm excited to work with her to create a brighter and better future for all of Colorado.

Thank you to everyone who attended our meet and greet in Thornton on Saturday morning! Great questions about federal funding cuts and the economic uncertainty created by Trump and Gabe Evans's tariffs. Together, we'll flip this seat and lower costs for everyone. #CO08

Thank you to my alma matter CU for honoring me as Legislator of the Year at today's game! Sko Buffs and congrats on a big win! 🦬

It was great to join IAM Local Lodge 1886 members in Commerce City to talk about my work to create good-paying jobs and lower costs. Machinists power our communities – I'll continue to work to champion the trades and apprenticeships.

Why is Gabe Evans hellbent on preventing the release of the Epstein files? #CO08

I had a great morning in Brighton with the Early Childhood Partnership of Adams County at their annual breakfast! Quality childcare is crucial to setting kids & families up for success, but there's much more work to do to lower costs. I'll continue to work to lower costs for childcare. #CO08

The signs say it all. It was #WorkersOverBillionaires on this Labor Day out in Thornton where we talked about protecting Medicaid, our environment, our farmers and more.

I'm thankful to have the support of State Representative Lesley Smith. Representative Smith is a community leader as well as a fierce advocate for protecting our climate and our public lands. I'm excited to work with her to create a brighter and better future for all of Colorado.

Frederick's first-ever affordable housing development, Brigit's Village, is officially open 🎉 It was great to join the grand opening this week with St. Brigit Church, Frederick and Weld governments, and so many other partners who made these 40 homes a reality.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of State Representative Karen McCormick! Dr. McCormick is a fierce advocate for health care, education, and economic opportunity for all. I’m proud to have her support as we work together to build a healthier, more resilient Colorado.

Always a good morning with the Rotary Club of Westminster talking about the special legislative session and protecting middle-class taxpayers! Thank you Rotarians for all of the work you do to make our city a great place to live.

I loved joining the Carbon Valley Chamber for their Café con Amigos de la Chamber at the Carbon Valley Help Center! The Chamber does incredible work supporting businesses in the region and the CVHC provides critical services, including utility assistance and a well-stocked food pantry.

I've been working hard this special session to responsibly address our $1.2 billion gap – without raising costs on middle-class families.

I’m proud to be endorsed by State Representative Meghan Lukens! Meghan’s commitment to public service, and public education inspires me every day. Together, we’ll deliver real results for the people of Colorado and I'm grateful for her support.

Thanks for being on Team Bird, Sarah! Westminster City Councilor Sarah Nurmela brings her professional experience as City planner to bring inclusive, sustainable, and smart communities to Westminster and I’m grateful for her support as we build a better Colorado.

Thanks to Gabe Evans' vote for the federal Republican budget bill, Colorado was left with a $1.2 billion budget gap. I joined neighbors in Northglenn for a town hall with @coloradodems.bsky.social to talk about the impact on our communities. Unlike Gabe, I don't shy away from town halls.

Thanks to Congressman Gabe Evans and the Colorado GOP, Colorado has a $1.2 billion hole in its budget. @shannonbird4co.bsky.social explains how Republicans are making working families pay more.

In Weld County, 1 in 4 neighbors rely on food assistance and the work that the Weld Food Bank does is vitally important. Gabe Evans voted for the largest-ever cut to food assistance in history, which will result in higher costs and longer lines at food banks. That's unacceptable. #CO08

Thank you Greeley-Weld Habitat for Humanity for the tour of Hope Springs – a brand-new development that provides affordable homes & high-end amenities. I know firsthand how important homeownership is to achieving the American dream & will continue to work to make that a reality for more Coloradans.

It was so great visiting Greeley-Weld Meals on Wheels today. They’re doing truly amazing work ensuring that seniors have a warm meal and are able to age in place with dignity and respect. With the growing population in Weld, the work they do is more important than ever.

Today marks 90 years of Social Security. In the legislature, I co-sponsored the law that expanded state tax deductions for Social Security recipients – reducing costs for Coloradans. In Congress, I'll work to protect and strengthen Social Security.

As a parent, I know back-to-school costs have skyrocketed, thanks to Trump's tariff taxes supported by Gabe Evans. In Congress, I'll work to bring down costs for Coloradans.

I’m thrilled to have the endorsement of Westminster Public School Board President Christine Martinez! Christine’s unwavering dedication to students and families is inspiring, and I’m grateful to have her support as we work to strengthen education in every corner of Colorado.

I had a great time yesterday at Northern Colorado Pride meeting with Greeley neighbors! And a special thank you to Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains and One Colorado for the important community engagement work you do.

Thanks to Gabe Evans, health insurance premiums on the Connect for Health Colorado exchange are set to rise by $5,467 next year for people in Greeley. In Congress, I’ll lower costs — not make life harder like Gabe.

I’m proud to be endorsed by State Senator Marc Snyder! Marc’s commitment to public service is inspiring and together, we’ll deliver real results for the people of Colorado.

Gabe Evans knows his vote to kick Coloradans off of Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires is unpopular, so now he's covering his tracks by supporting a meaningless resolution. In congress, I'll always stand up for my constituents.
