Thanksgiving is an important time to pause and show appreciation for the things that matter most. The opportunity to serve you and our country has been the greatest honor of my life.
May God bless you and keep you and your family safe this holiday season. gjsentinel.com/opinion/colum…

Post-COVID recovery for rural CO healthcare is hard. #PublicOption makes it even harder. Expensive, one size fits all, big government plan isn't what rural Coloradans need! Great column in the Sun today by the Colorado Business Roundtable’s Debbie Brown: coloradosun.com/2020/09/25/p…
Today we honor and remember the lives of family members, friends and other heroes we lost 19 years ago. #NeverForget
130 rural hospitals have closed down since 2010. Here’s a good column from Senator Ray Scott on the devastating impact that a “public option” healthcare system would have on rural Coloradans’ access to care: coloradopolitics.com/opinion…
Greatly welcomed grant relief available through @fema to help extinguish the Grizzly Creek Fire. We are all incredibly thankful for the crews working 24/7 and praying for the safety of the communities in the area. More on the grant announcement here: fema.gov/press-release/20200…
After years of tireless local advocacy and bipartisan collaboration, it’s truly an honor to officially welcome BLMHQ to Colorado’s Third District!
With @SecBernhardt signing of SO-3382, BLM's HQ is now officially in Grand Junction, Colorado. "There are neither maps nor memos that replace the wisdom gained by putting your feet in the dirt of the land you manage..." #DOIDelivers blm.gov/press-release/The-Bu…
It's been three months since the CARES Act was signed into law. We understood then just as we do now that there would be necessary changes and tweaks along the way, but already this critical legislation has helped and will continue to help millions of Americans battle COVID-19.
I look forward to today's @FinancialCmte hearing to see how effective CARES Act has been (especially for rural communities) & how Congress & the Administration can continue to put political differences aside to remain focused on the dire issues at hand.

Help the fire crews out by paying attention to local fire restrictions. This is important to do all year long, but especially in the summer months. #KnowBeforeYouGo

One-third of Colorado is now in a severe drought, mostly in the south bit.ly/3g8oAKr
Colorado’s Third District is fortunate to have abundant public spaces for recreation and shared use, but given that many of these areas are non-taxable, a lack of tax revenue places significant budgetary constraints on rural areas.
Thank you to @Interior and @SecBernhardt for delivering critical PILT payments to communities with large amounts of public lands across the country. These are the communities the Western Caucus was founded to fight for and will continue to fight for! westerncaucus.house.gov/news…

Nearly 1/3 of House Dems have evaded their responsibility and have voted by proxy – and Democrats have now EXTENDED it.
We were elected to represent our constituents and vote on their behalf in Congress.
Speaker Pelosi's unconstitutional voting scheme has no place in Congress.
Small Businesses on Main Street are the lifeblood of the Third District's economy. It's truly an honor to be recognized by the @USChamber for my work to advance pro-growth policies that help Small Businesses!

Thanks to @RepTipton for taking time this morning to talk with #coloradoselectriccoops during today’s #CREA board meeting. Interesting to hear what’s happening back in DC. #stayingintouch #governmentatwork

Instead of dealing with the most pressing challenges facing our nation or negotiating in good faith to reach a bipartisan consensus on police reform...
House Dems are pressing forward with their political agenda, ignoring the Constitution and voting to grant D.C. statehood.
