PROGRESS FOR COLORADANS
our recovery
The pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life, and devastated the health and livelihoods of so many. Colorado’s recovery will be the most important work of the 2021 legislature.
our environment
We are failing the generations who will follow us with regard to climate change and environmental stewardship. We must do better.
our economy
Every Colorado family should benefit from our growing economy, not just those at the top. We must address income inequality, strengthen the middle class, and make smart investments in our education system at every level.
our health
The lack of access to mental health treatment parallels staggering increases in homelessness, opioid drug addiction, incarceration, and suicide.

We must work to strengthen the pillars of our society, so everyone can take part and achieve their goals and dreams.
