Taking food assistance away from children, seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and Coloradans experiencing homelessness is cruel. More than 33,000 Coloradans, including nearly 12,600 children, have already lost access to SNAP, not because hunger has disappeared, but because Washington made it harder to get help. Colorado is working hard to protect food access, but no state can make up for the largest SNAP cut in American history, and Congress must reverse these harmful cuts.

A new Marketplace story looks at school districts across the country that are trying creative approaches to help teachers and school staff find housing they can afford.

In Colorado, the HOME Act gives school districts more flexibility to build housing on land they own.

I’m curious what teachers think: Would affordable housing through your school district actually help with recruitment and retention, or would you rather see resources focused elsewhere, like higher salaries?

Interested in hearing from educators who have experienced the housing affordability issue firsthand.

Fort Collins is getting the national recognition it deserves! CNN Travel named Fort Collins the No. 5 best town to visit in America in 2026.

From Old Town and its legendary breweries to local shops and easy access to the Rocky Mountains, Fort Collins is a great place to live and an amazing Colorado destination. Congratulations to everyone who makes this such a great place to live, work, play, and visit!

A new chapter for outdoor recreation near Pikes Peak.

Palmer Land Conservancy has acquired 674 acres at Pinestone Ranch near Woodland Park, protecting forests, meadows, and wildlife habitat for future generations.

This is the kind of partnership that can help connect more Coloradans with the outdoors while protecting the places that make our state special. There’s incredible potential here, and we’re excited to see what comes next.

Pueblo knows good food, and three local food trucks are bringing it to the Governor’s Table at this year’s Colorado State Fair.

I’m looking forward to seeing what these Pueblo favorites serve up as they compete for the Governor’s Table title. It's another great way to celebrate the people, small businesses, and incredible food that make Colorado special. See you at the Fair!

Starting this week, Colorado riders have new safety protections when using rideshare services.

Under a law I signed earlier this year, rideshare companies are now required to investigate safety complaints within seven business days, including complaints involving sexual assault, harassment and stalking. Companies that fail to meet the requirements can face penalties.

The goal is straightforward: Coloradans should be able to get where they need to go safely, and when someone raises a serious safety concern, it should be addressed promptly.

If you’ve looked outside and wondered where the mountains went… you’re not alone. Wildfire smoke can impact our skies and air quality, even when fires aren’t right outside our communities. Stay informed, check local air quality, and take care of yourself and your neighbors.

Today, I took Executive Action to strengthen Colorado’s economy, boost investment and infrastructure in the state, and create good-paying jobs by creating a statewide permitting portal and directing certain agencies to streamline permitting to make it easier and faster for important industries to secure permits in Colorado.

Colorado is using every tool available to reduce wildfire risk—including a few four-legged firefighters. Sheep saving Colorado one bite at a time.

As firefighters work to contain the Indian Creek Fire in Jackson County, Colorado is bringing every available resource to support their response.

I have declared a disaster emergency to activate additional state support, including firefighting resources, emergency management personnel, and specialized assets to help local teams protect lives, property, and our communities.

Thank you to all the firefighters and first responders on the front lines.

Coloradans deserve to know that when they buy produce labeled "Colorado-grown," it's actually grown here. Our bipartisan law protects consumers, supports local farmers, and preserves the integrity of the Colorado Proud brand.
