In February, I had the privilege of spending a beautiful morning at Camp Hale snowshoeing with veterans from the 10th Mountain Division’s 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment. https://t.co/lb1yCPpTfW — PolitiTweet.org

After the war, veterans of the 10th used their Camp Hale experience to help launch the outdoor recreation industry and inspire generations of Coloradans. — PolitiTweet.org

During World War II, the Army built Camp Hale to train the 10th Mountain Division in specialized winter mountain warfare. The soldiers who trained at Camp Hale would go on to lead a series of victories against German troops in the Italian Alps. — PolitiTweet.org

On Colorado #PublicLandsDay, we celebrate Colorado’s public lands and remain committed to protecting places like Camp Hale. https://t.co/D3QhSI8znL — PolitiTweet.org

Great to join @RebeccaVallas for a conversation about my new proposals to help workers and families weather the economic fallout of the #COVID19 crisis. Listen to learn more about my plans to modernize SNAP, expand the EITC & CTC, and send more cash payments to Americans ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

The pandemic has not only taken the lives of over 1,000 Coloradans, it has kept their friends and family from gathering for traditional in-person memorials. Tonight, let’s take a moment of silence to honor those we’ve lost. — PolitiTweet.org

Colorado is home to critical components of our nation’s space mission, has the necessary infrastructure, and an incredibly supportive community. I look forward to working with the Air Force and all Colorado stakeholders throughout this important process. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Proud that Peterson AFB will be the provisional HQ for Space Command. Given our tremendous contributions to US national security and leadership in space, Colorado is the clear choice for a permanent headquarters. I will keep fighting to make that happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Glad to announce that CO will receive nearly $160M from @CDCgov for #COVID19 contact tracing & testing. This much-needed funding will support efforts to save lives and move us closer to safely reopening our state’s economy. https://t.co/t0Z6Y4vL8r — PolitiTweet.org

We must stand up for people like Lu and DACA recipients across America in the face of this administration's heartless attacks. #ImmigrantHealthHeroes — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

She'll only be able to continue her essential work as a nurse if she can renew her DACA status. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Lu now works at a hospital in Denver, and is about to complete her second degree in Nursing. Her goal is to become an emergency room nurse and a teacher to future nurses. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

She focused on her education and graduated with a degree in Molecular Biology and Genetics. After being granted DACA status, Lu was able to pursue opportunities in the health care field, and after working as an EMT for years, she fell in love with caring for others. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

In search of better work and educational opportunities, Lu’s parents brought her to the U.S. when she was 13. After years of trying to obtain legal residency, she and her family became undocumented. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

As we think about the Americans whose lives could be upended by the looming #DACA SCOTUS decision, Lu’s story is one of countless stories to share. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

But we have so much more work to do – and that starts with treating mental health as an essential part of health care, funding it as such, and prioritizing it in the next #COVID19 relief package. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Yesterday’s Senate passage of my bill to designate 9-8-8 as the suicide prevention and mental health crisis hotline was a strong step toward making mental health support more accessible to Americans, and I’ll keep pushing until this bill becomes law. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

45% of adults in the US say their mental health has been seriously impacted by #COVID19. This #MentalHealthMonth, it’s more important than ever that we prioritize mental health care for all Americans – both those on the front lines and those struggling with social distancing. https://t.co/lMYpBDKxia — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Until 1 p.m., @UnitedWayDenver & @LockheedMartin are hosting a flyover to thank essential workers on the front lines of the #COVID19 pandemic. Thank you to the local aviators who made this possible. Check out the flight plan and live stream here ⬇️ https://t.co/RsctJTfbBo — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We must protect the health and safety of Colorado’s workers and agricultural communities to safeguard our national food supply during this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today, I requested an update from the vice president on the status of their efforts. I also asked him to prioritize health and safety measures for all meat and food processing plant workers. https://t.co/bAz2YVuVLc — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The vice president made a commitment last month to protecting workers at JBS by sending more PPE and tests. The community in Greeley has yet to receive these supplies. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

The #COVID19 crisis is taking a massive toll on the mental health of Americans. At a time when accessing affordable mental health care is more difficult than ever, Congress must #FundMentalHealth and critical services to provide support and direct help to those who need it. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Every elected official should answer this simple question: What’s your plan to make sure Americans can vote safely this fall? #VoteByMail — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

@SenatorShaheen and I have proposed reforms to the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payments Program to grant much needed relief to health care providers during this pandemic who have sought financial assistance through this program. https://t.co/TCnSSdlt5W — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Since the start of the #COVID19 pandemic, health care providers in Colorado and across this country have worked around the clock for our communities. We must ensure stability for these providers so they can continue to provide essential care. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

That’s why I’ve called for a new task force with @SenKamalaHarris to confront COVID-19 racial and ethnic health disparities and to propose concrete solutions. https://t.co/I9uCuwgtCe — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

You can draw a straight line between the higher #COVID19 death rates among communities of color and the historic disparities they’ve faced in access to quality health care, housing, and education. This is a good step but we must do more. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We can prevent massive additional hardship by passing essential state and local fiscal relief, as our state’s leaders have emphasized.⬇️ https://t.co/bSe2bX1wcf https://t.co/ZILGx1x5Pm — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

I’ve heard loud and clear from county, municipal, and state leaders across Colorado: The drop-off in their anticipated revenues has been severe and is expected to remain so throughout the public health crisis and as the economy recovers in the months following. — PolitiTweet.org
