This information is especially relevant to Boulder residents and CU students! Please take a moment to educate yourselves on the many ways you can be scammed in pursuit of the student loan debt relief application process. You can find more info. at
Some of my constituents have reported scam phone calls related to President Biden's student loan forgiveness announcement.

The R candidate for HD10 has shown what we can expect from the Colorado GOP: unserious policy and serious racism. Boulder sees right through it. We know @Junie4Colorado will provide a unique and valuable perspective to the legislature as an attorney and proven public servant.
“I hope Mr. DeOreo realizes that we live in a community together and after this race, he will just be a neighbor," Joseph said. "And if he’s ever willing to have a conversation that is not just inflammatory, I would be open to have that conversation with him.”

Congratulations, Councilwoman Junie Joseph, on your well-deserved victory in the Vacancy Committee election tonight to House District 10. I am proud to pass you the torch and am excited to provide support during the election and transition to office in January.

Look out for your Colorado Cash Back/TABOR refund check in the mail! Although TABOR severely restricts the state’s ability to fund critical public programs, Democrats reduced the damage by making refunds more equitable so that the people who really need relief get a bigger boost.
This is right and intentional. Those most financially disadvantaged by Colorado's regressive tax structure will see the biggest bump in state tax refunds. Thank you #coleg for doing this right & @ColoradoFiscal for leading the effort. #copolitics

In July, I discuss my fair housing enforcement and climate resiliency bills recently signed into law and focus on the November elections. Strengthening repro rights, our climate, and tenants' rights will depend on preserving our majority! Read more ➡️

May this investigation bring justice to the many Coloradans who have been hurt by predatory towing. Thank you, @pweiser, for your rigorous enforcement of our new law! Kudos to our partners who made it happen! @NaquettaR @SenadoraJulie @CoEvictionDef

I am proud to have supported the Reproductive Health Equity Act, which keeps abortion and reproductive health care safe, legal and private in Colorado. Thank you @GovofCO for taking this step to ensure patients and providers are protected. @RepMegFroe @Dlesgar @SenadoraJulie
We are taking needed action to protect individual freedom and the privacy of Coloradans. This important step will ensure that Colorado’s thriving economy and workforce are not impacted based on personal health decisions that are wrongly being criminalized in other states.

You ask what we do now? Every blue state must amend their constitution to guarantee a woman’s sovereignty over her body and her inalienable right to manage her reproduction.

This year Colorado became the 18th state to make #Juneteenth an official state holiday. I join all Coloradans who value their personal freedoms in celebrating this important Emancipation Day.

Thank you @GovofCO for signing two climate resiliency bills today that I was proud to sponsor with Sen. @SteveFenberg. One will study ways to improve the reliability of CO’s big grid with the use of microgrids, and the other will help communities prepare for natural disasters.
