An iconic voice for equality and power for the people. Dolores Huerta was living proof that it's always the right time to speak truth to power, and a model for what we can accomplish when we fight together for working-class people. At a time of such chaos and injustice, our world will feel emptier without her moral clarity. But in her honor, we must now join together to build tirelessly on her legacy. Rest in power, Dolores Huerta.

Working together, we can make sure that as our state grows, working families aren't left behind. It was wonderful to connect with local labor leaders at our Lakewood office to continue the conversation on how rapid technological growth impacts our workforce. I will always stand up for good-paying jobs, safe working conditions, and making sure our workers have a real seat at the table. Strong communities are built on strong labor partnerships.

Always a joy to be back at the Wheat Ridge Business Appreciation Awards Breakfast! Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, and it was an honor to present certificates to this year’s well-deserved winners. Thank you to the Wheat Ridge Business Association, the @ChamberWR, and @Localworks for organizing the 22nd annual celebration of the people who make Wheat Ridge such a vibrant place to live and work.

Honored to join the Colorado Enterprise Fund to celebrate 50 years of investing in local dreams and the people that make them happen! Over $95M delivered to 2,600+ small businesses. Here’s to 50 more years of growing local jobs & resilient communities! https://t.co/qhdQi7iCgj

💬 4🔁 8❤ 17Oct 25, 2026

Always so inspired by the incredible community at Great Education Colorado’s Annual Luncheon! Sitting alongside our passionate teachers and advocates reminded me why we fight so hard for our public schools. Every single child in Colorado deserves a fair shot and a great education with teachers, coaches, and staff who support them every single day. I’m so grateful for everyone working to make our schools places where every student can truly thrive!

💬 34🔁 6❤ 20Oct 24, 2026

My visit to Denver Health hit close to home. Sitting down to talk about the catastrophic impact of Medicaid cuts was a stark reminder of what’s at stake. When we talk about budget cuts, we’re talking about real people losing access to the care they desperately need. I’m carrying their stories with me and I won’t stop fighting to protect our local healthcare system and the patients who rely on it every single day.

💬 25🔁 8❤ 34Oct 24, 2026

Protecting our open spaces means protecting the heart of our communities. I spent time at @OdomsFarm hearing about their inspiring vision —a community where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities can thrive, all while protecting the land for generations to come. As we face real challenges, grassroots visions like this remind us what’s possible when compassion and community come together.

💬 9🔁 5❤ 12Oct 23, 2026

Always value hearing directly from Colorado’s business leaders and innovators. I had the great pleasure of joining the @COChamber Annual Luncheon to discuss how we can work together to strengthen our economy and local workforce. From main street to our growing industries, keeping Colorado’s economy strong takes all of us working together. Grateful for the chance to connect, listen, and bring these priorities back to DC.

💬 12🔁 0❤ 7Oct 23, 2026

Skyrocketing costs are hitting working families, parents, and seniors every single day. I gathered local advocates and we talked honestly about where current policies are failing and how we move forward together. With new federal SNAP benefit changes taking effect, the stakes couldn't be higher. Access to stable housing and nutritious food shouldn't be a luxury for the wealthy. We won't stop fighting until every Coloradan can afford to live here in the communities we love.

💬 49🔁 1❤ 6Oct 23, 2026

.@ICEgov has been using the local police as a backdoor to access Flock cameras & spy on private citizens. This is a massive infringement on our privacy, and we cannot just stand by and let it happen. @RepKrishnamoorthi and I are demanding answers about who ICE has been tracking, how this information is being used, and what guardrails are stopping agents from abusing it. https://t.co/yAIiUZdbYU

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 468 of the House’s 676 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (208): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. “With the Democratic majority” counts every issue vote on which most Democrats voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Democrats and most Republicans voted one way and this member the other. “With the Republican majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Republicans. Independents count with the party they caucus with.
