Fighting Trump’s Attacks On Colorado

Government resources belong to YOU – the American people. But President Trump appears to view them as weapons to wield against his perceived enemies.

And so far, Colorado has been one of his top targets.

Since my first day in office, President Trump’s agenda has been to punish our state.

Among other things, President Trump has announced the relocation of Space Command from its rightful home in Colorado Springs to Alabama. He has denied disaster assistance to Colorado communities, vetoed a bipartisan bill to bring clean drinking water to 50,000 Coloradans, and frozen funding for child care, food assistance, and other services for vulnerable families. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

We’ve all speculated that these moves weren’t purely coincidental. Now we have proof.

Earlier this month, a court document revealed that the White House coordinated all of this political retribution against Coloradans.

I’ve called for an investigation into the administration’s targeting of our state. Because you deserve answers and our country needs to know how federal resources were manipulated to punish innocent Coloradans.

Political retaliation isn’t the only way President Trump is hurting Colorado. His policies are hitting Coloradans right in their pocketbooks.

Wherever we travel across the state, we hear the same things: Groceries are too expensive. Rent is sky high. Health insurance premiums are through the roof. Families are working hard, doing everything right, and still feel like they’re drowning.

While the White House is busy focusing on ballrooms, bombs, and billionaires, Colorado families have watched their bills soar. The Joint Economic Committee Minority estimates the average Colorado household has paid $3,700 more since President Trump returned to office.

Reversing this damage won’t be easy. But we’re fighting back with everything we have to stand up for Colorado. We’ve fought back against this administration’s efforts to waste your taxpayer dollars, sell off our public lands, and reward election criminals like Tina Peters who break the law.

Coloradans want their elected leaders to focus on lowering prices and runaway healthcare costs. Instead, this White House continues to fixate on everything except your needs.

Enough is enough.

You shouldn’t bear the burden of this administration’s petty grievances and failed policies.

You can read more about my thoughts in our Denver Post op-ed. But here’s the bottom line: No matter what this administration throws at Colorado next, we won’t stop fighting for transparency, accountability, and lower costs for working families.
