Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer

Colorado’s roads didn’t fall apart because of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. They fell apart because Democrats put transportation last for decades. Now @MichaelBennet made it clear- he wants to gut TABOR and raise costs on Colorado Families. Government needs to do its job: fix the roads, fund the basics, and stop blaming taxpayers for bad priorities. Protect the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. Fund our roads. #copolitics #ItsTime

Sine Die is here! I’ll be joining @MandyConnell today at 2:30 PM on 850 KOA for my final legislative wrap-up of the session. Tune in! koacolorado.iheart.com/featured/mandy… #ItsTime

Colorado roads rank 47th in the nation. HB-1430 is another dishonest tax-and-spend scheme disguised as “transportation funding.” Democrats are asking voters to trust them with billions more in redirected revenue while pretending a temporary gas tax reduction somehow offsets the long-term costs to taxpayers. Coloradans need that money to fix our roads, not another pet project for the Democrats. Watch the road debate here: youtube.com/watch?v=CzQCSY…

After 11 PM on the Senate Floor, Democrats are STILL trying to make Colorado more expensive. More taxes. More fees. More attacks on TABOR. Families are tapped out while government keeps growing and paychecks keep shrinking. #coleg #ProtectTabor

Colorado is getting crushed. Costs up. Roads falling apart. Crime rising. Families fed up. Eight years of one-party Democrat control did this. Coloradans have a choice: Nominate someone ready to fight and govern on Day One…or risk losing this state completely. I’m ready. #ItsTime

Today, on the 75th National Day of Prayer, we pause to give thanks for the blessings of faith, family, freedom, and the greatest nation on Earth. America was founded on the principle that our rights come from God, not government, and we must never lose sight of that truth. God bless our families, God bless Colorado, and God bless the United States of America.

Tune in today at 1 PM on 850 KOA Looking forward to talking with @MandyConnell koacolorado.iheart.com/featured/mandy…

🚨Democrats are trying to chip away at TABOR again. I’m in Senate Appropriations right now fighting to protect your refunds, HB26-1419. sg001-harmony.sliq.net/00327/Harmony/…

Democrats to voters , “Go pound sand!” Coloradans passed a “truth in sentencing” ballot initiative. This is what happens with Democrat one- party control! 👇

Heartbroken to share this news about my good friend, Lynn. Most recently, she served as one of my legislative aides, bringing sharp insight, professionalism, and a true love for Colorado politics and life under the Golden Dome. For decades, Lynn helped tell Colorado’s story with honesty and grit, earning the respect of so many across our state. Please keep Lynn and the entire Bartels family in your prayers. If Lynn’s work or friendship ever touched your life, I hope you’ll leave her a kind note or send a card. 🙏🏻🩷

Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day. In 2021, Phil Weiser said fentanyl was “killing our kids.” Four years later, Colorado families are still living through this crisis. Colorado needs stronger enforcement, real accountability, and leadership that delivers results.

🎙️Tune in today at 1 PM on 850 @KOAColorado It’s always a great conversation with @MandyConnell , wherever it leads. koacolorado.iheart.com/featured/mandy…

🕐 Tune in tomorrow at 1 PM with @MandyConnell @KOAColorado We’ll sort through the Capitol chaos so you don’t have to. What should we put on the legislative hot seat this week?

What are the fines for giving out too many single-serve plastic or ketchup packets? @SenKirkmeyer explains. #copolitics

If they need 37 billion more dollars, maybe the problem isn’t taxpayers. #SB26_135 #taxpayersbillofrights #TABOR cbsnews.com/colorado/news/…

Say goodbye to your TABOR refund. Colorado families deserve the full story. SB26-135 isn’t just about education, it’s about whether taxpayers keep their refunds or government keeps them forever. #ProtectTABOR #SB26_135

The assassination attempt last night at the Correspondents Dinner is a sobering reminder of the risks facing public servants and those around them I’m very thankful the President and everyone were kept safe by fast-acting law enforcement, including the Secret Service officers who have not been paid in over 70 days. I’m grateful for the officers who acted quickly to protect our leaders and I am praying for all those affected. Political violence has no place in our country.

As a mom, grandmother, and JBC member, I know prevention matters. Supporting families before crisis helps children stay safe and strong. This April, during Child Abuse Prevention Month, let’s give every child a safe, strong start. @illuminate_co

The Democrats are dead set on misleading the people of Colorado and are now changing the name of the fund in SB-135 to the “Children's Account”. @SenKirkmeyer explains what this bill is actually about: “Writing a blank check so that state government can do everything they’d ever thought that they ever wanted to do at any point and spend as much money as they can”.

Colorado taxpayers would lose thousands in TABOR refunds under Democrats' proposed ballot measure coloradopolitics.com/2026/04/23/col…
