Governor Jared Polis

No imposters here 👀 If it says Colorado-grown, it better be Colorado-grown. Proud to sign HB26-1031 to protect our farmers, ranchers, and the integrity of the Colorado Proud label — from Palisade peaches to Pueblo chiles to San Luis Valley potatoes. 🌽🍑🌶️

Proud to sign HB26-1031 into law — a bipartisan effort to protect Colorado’s farmers, ranchers, and the integrity of the Colorado Proud label. Thanks to the leadership of Representative Matt Soper, Representative Matthew Martinez, Senator Dylan Roberts, and Senator Marc Catlin, this new law ensures that when products are labeled Colorado-grown, they truly come from our state. From Palisade peaches to Pueblo green chiles and San Luis Valley potatoes, we’re protecting the foods that make Colorado proud. 🌽🍑🌶️

Best of luck to the Denver Pioneers (@DU_Hockey) as you take on No. 1 Michigan Wolverines in the Frozen Four tomorrow! #GoPios #DUHockey #FrozenFour2026 denverpioneers.com/news/2026/4/7/…

One year after sweeping tariffs were introduced, the impact has only gotten worse. I met with small business owners, manufacturers, and industry leaders to hear directly how rising costs and uncertainty are increasing prices and affecting their ability to grow and hire. Tariffs are a tax — and we need policies that support Colorado businesses, not hold them back. denverpost.com/2026/04/07/col…

🏆 Lathrop State Park wins! Colorado’s first state park takes the crown in this year’s State Parks Bracket — an unscripted Cinderella story chosen by voters. Colorado is home to 43 state parks, offering every Coloradan and visitor a range of activities to enjoy our iconic outdoors. I am very excited that Lathrop was voted Colorado’s favorite state park. Lathrop has a deep history in Colorado and was named Colorado’s first state park in 1962. Since becoming a state park, Lathrop has become a boaters' and anglers' paradise, with fantastic views of the Spanish Peaks. I hope all Colordans have a chance to visit Lathrop.

From space, Victor Glover shared a simple but powerful message: “You are special.” It’s a reminder that no matter where we come from, every person matters and belongs. Here in Colorado, we’re building a Colorado for All — where everyone is valued, respected, and has the opportunity to thrive.

Colorado @Avalanche fans, we celebrate! The Avs have clinched the Central Division and shown why Colorado hockey is the best in the West.

Donald Trump’s so-called “Mad King” tariffs are still hitting Coloradans hard. Coloradans paid more than $1.1 billion in tariffs last year, creating uncertainty for employers, raising prices, and impacting industries across our state — from agriculture to aerospace. kunc.org/politics/2026-…

I am very excited to recognize Colorado’s 22 Purple Star Schools serving military families with distinction. Education is a top priority for my administration, and ensuring that our military-connected students and families have access to schools and education with the resources and support to thrive is key to caring for those who bravely serve our nation in uniform.

This April, we recognize National Donate Life Month and honor the organ donors who have given the gift of life to others. At the Colorado State Capitol, we raised the Donate Life flag with the Colorado DMV (@CO_DMV) and Donate Life Colorado (@donatelifeco) in tribute to donors’ legacy and the lives they’ve saved. Thank you to our hospitals, community partners, and to everyone who has chosen to be a donor. Every year, nearly 1 million Coloradans check “yes” when they get their driver’s license or state ID. Check the box to save and heal lives. Learn more at donatelifecolorado.org.

As NASA Artemis II (@NASAArtemis) makes its journey, we’re proud that Colorado plays a key role in powering space exploration. From aerospace innovation to cutting-edge technology, our state is helping make missions like this possible. Check out this ‘amazing’ photo of Earth taken on this historic mission, shared by NASA (@NASA).

Great to welcome students from Jefferson Academy Secondary School to the Colorado State Capitol today! It’s always great to welcome the next generation of Coloradans to the center of our state government. Our future is bright with engaged, curious students like these. Thanks for stopping by and being part of Colorado’s story!

Opening Day is always about more than the score — it’s about Colorado coming together. ⚾️ Great to be out at Coors Field with so many Coloradans celebrating the start of a new season. denver7.com/news/local-new…

As Coloradans celebrate the season of renewal—from Easter to Passover—we recommit to standing firmly against hate in all its forms. Colorado is strongest when we honor each other’s traditions and protect the freedom to live them openly and proudly. Happy Easter. Chag Sameach.

Happy Easter, Colorado!

I’m thrilled to welcome the expertise and leadership of Stephanie Beasley and Gretchen Hammer into these important roles. Their experience and passion for public service will strengthen Colorado and the people we serve. Stephanie comes to us from the Department of Early Childhood (@COEarlyChild), and Gretchen has previously served with the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing as the Medicaid Director. I know that both of them will continue the important work of expanding access and reducing costs for the care people need, whether it’s for physical or mental health.
