Stay safe, #MonteVista. We stand ready to help however we can. — PolitiTweet.org

The future economic growth of Moffat County depends on adequate public services. I helped Moffat secure $4.6M in the federal budget to help construct a new courthouse and county building, which will house the Sheriff’s office, veteran services, and other essential services. https://t.co/CPh6x94Czi — PolitiTweet.org

Great to stop by what will soon be The Hayden Center today — a new space to expand child care and after-school activities, host art and music classes for the community, and bring people in this region together. I'm delighted to have helped secure $2.8M to support this project. https://t.co/WTUKWxv35q — PolitiTweet.org

Minturn plans to construct a new water tank using $1 million we secured in the federal budget. In addition to lowering water costs and increasing water quality for the town, this also will help combat wildfires and support the development of affordable housing. https://t.co/9OrlpKa2Z2 — PolitiTweet.org

23 years ago, 13 lives were tragically taken in the #Columbine High School Massacre. While Colorado has taken steps to curb gun violence, kids across our country still live in constant fear. Congress must pass common sense gun legislation to protect our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I saw first hand the debris removal progress in the wake of the #MarshallFire in Superior — a necessary step for homeowners. I'll continue working to ensure the federal government is an effective partner as Boulder County rebuilds. https://t.co/tf3i87h1VG — PolitiTweet.org

GREAT NEWS: @USDA began to distribute over $12.6M in Secure Rural Schools funding that we secured in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for Colorado. I'll keep fighting to pass long-term funding for SRS to ensure local govts have the resources needed to serve our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Today in Pueblo, I kicked off a series of listening sessions to inform our work for the 2023 Farm Bill. From severe drought to volatile supply chains, Colorado farmers and ranchers have faced a difficult few years. We can give them a lot more certainty with an updated Farm Bill. https://t.co/XbgzkaLPHA — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot accept a world where nearly one in three Coloradans struggle to afford their medications. I'm incredibly grateful to the Colorado patients & advocates who joined me at @PCHCF to discuss this urgent issue. I'll keep fighting to lower prescription costs for Coloradans. https://t.co/VocC0IwT30 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We don’t have to accept child poverty as a permanent feature of our economy. We proved that when we expanded the #ChildTaxCredit. We relieved parents of the backbreaking stress they face. On #TaxDay, I’m recommitting to our fight to make this permanent. https://t.co/RTTsS6WCsr — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Everywhere I go in Colorado, I hear about the high cost of housing families face — and it's only getting worse. Thrilled to see Colorado coming together to use funds we secured in the #AmericanRescuePlan to help address our housing affordability crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

The Colorado State Capitol dedicated a statue to the 1913 Maestas court case. In Alamosa, I heard about this case, which is thought to be our nation's first successful Hispanic school desegregation case. Now, more Coloradans can learn about this important part of our history. — PolitiTweet.org

Incredible to see Colorado leading the way on @USDA's new Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program. This partnership between USDA and @CO_CDHS will help reduce hunger in our state while supporting Colorado's farmers and ranchers. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

We now know the #ChildTaxCredit expansion was effective — it cut child poverty in nearly half and reduced hunger by a quarter. To me, that's a policy worth making permanent. I'll continue to do everything I can to make that a reality for millions of kids across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: The Biden Admin will release an additional 35,000 H-2B visas to help address our nation's workforce shortage, which contributes to our supply chain issues. This is a welcome step — but we can do more to address the labor crisis by passing immigration reforms. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today, I saw first-hand how @Clinica_Tepeyac plans to use $2M we secured in the 2022 funding bill to construct a new health clinic for the Elyria-Swansea community. I'm grateful for Tepeyac's work to expand access to affordable health services for Coloradans. https://t.co/xKo3gyHuHG — PolitiTweet.org

Don't forget — I'm holding a telephone town hall TODAY at 6 p.m. MT. Hearing from Coloradans is my favorite part of the job. When I return to Washington in a couple of weeks, I’ll bring your ideas and concerns with me. More info on how to join⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

As we address the growing threat of wildfires, there must be collaboration at the state, local and federal level. I held a discussion with Coloradans, @ForestService Chief Moore & @USDA officials to hear how the federal gov't can be an effective partner with Colorado communities. https://t.co/0CzzNkEjZq — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

TOMORROW: Join me for a telephone town hall at 6 p.m. MT. I want to hear from you about the issues most important to your family, from rising costs to climate change to health care. ☎️Dial 833-946-1565 to join, or 💻Stream it online at https://t.co/7h9d6McFUf — PolitiTweet.org

Lack of affordable housing affects every part of our state. That's why I'm working to increase the supply of affordable housing across Colorado, invest in our communities, and ensure families can stay in their homes — especially as costs continue to rise. https://t.co/I60wACB4PQ — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Tribal communities across Colorado and the West are on the front lines of climate change, facing challenges like extreme heat & water shortages. This funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is an important step to empower Tribes to build community-led climate resilience. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Today we saw the effect wildfires have on our landscapes after seeing the #NCARFire and CalWood Fire burn sites. I’m grateful to the first responders who contained these fires, and we’ll keep working to make sure the communities have the resources to clean up remaining damage. https://t.co/6C2gofzZsD — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

For too long, Congress has underinvested in our forests and watersheds. I’m fighting to pass my Outdoor Restoration Partnership Act to make a historic, long-term investment in our essential natural infrastructure. https://t.co/KHsSOoXb2k — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

In Boulder County, we announced over $33 million for Colorado from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill for wildfire mitigation and prevention efforts. This is an important step. But there’s much more we need to do to address this growing threat. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael Bennet @SenatorBennet

Wonderful to welcome @SecDebHaaland and @ForestService Chief Randy Moore to Colorado today. As climate change fuels more intense and frequent disasters, we must invest in our forests and watersheds to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires across the West. https://t.co/NPZRStqdCb — PolitiTweet.org
