Proud of Congressman Neguse. Getting to see him speak at the DNC tonight on tv was a thrill.
It was an honor of a lifetime to share my American story this evening at the Democratic National Convention with millions of people who are looking to build a brighter future for our country. Let’s make it happen America. Let’s elect @KamalaHarris as our next President!

Today is #WorldSickleCellAwarenessDay, which brings awareness to this disease that disproportionately impacts Black communities. @SenJanetBuckner & @SenRhondaFields championed a law this year to support Coloradans living with sickle cell anemia & improve their quality of life.

“By prioritizing the needs of students, we can pave the way for greater educational outcomes and economic mobility for students and families.” -@SenJanetBuckner 🔗 senatedems.co/newsroom/senat… #coleg #copolitics
Colorado is making higher education more affordable 🎓 Right now, students lose on average a semester of credits when they transfer schools. @SenJanetBuckner's bipartisan bill would fix that problem & improve transparency for students! #coleg #copolitics

The housing crisis is impacting us all, and I’ll be damned if we let any opportunity to help out hardworking families who rent slip by. During our special #coleg I’ll bring a bill w/ @replindsay + @leslieherod to direct $30M in rental assistance to help keep Coloradans housed. 1/
