Senator John Hickenlooper

Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora is at the forefront of our space defense. We must support efforts to strengthen national security and mission readiness for our brave service members.

Met with the Artemis crew this week to congratulate them on their successful journey around the moon! 🚀 Their amazing mission marks a new chapter in exploration that’s fueled by Colorado’s world-class aerospace industry. Here’s to science! 🔭

It doesn’t matter if you’re a Republican, Democrat, or Independent, as an American this is heartbreaking. We have a cost-of-living emergency in this country, and we need to do more. We need universal healthcare NOW!

Trump will never put you and your family first.    That's why he's content to spend billions on his illegal war against Iran while slashing health care and SNAP benefits for millions of Americans as the cost of gas, groceries, and more soars.

Let Me Be Blunt: Republicans are back and at it again. Remember Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill that funded ICE and cut your health care? They're trying to do it again.

Historic drought = increased risk for disastrous wildfires. Yet, the Trump admin has politicized funding meant to protect our communities from these disasters. It’s unconscionable. washingtonpost.com/weather/2026/0…

We have money for ballrooms, bombs, and tax breaks for billionaires but nothing for hardworking families.  Trump and MAGA Republicans have it backwards.  Let’s end this illegal war and lower costs for Americans.

Tina Peters is guilty as sin and a disgrace to Colorado. She tried to undermine Colorado’s free and fair election system. When she was caught red-handed, she was prosecuted by a Republican district attorney and rightfully convicted by a jury of her peers. Reducing her sentence sends the wrong message to those seeking to undermine trust in our elections and it will do nothing to deter Donald Trump’s illegal attacks on Colorado. I strongly disagree with this decision.

Millions of Americans are burdened with medical debt, often because they don’t know the costs upfront.  Our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act will bring much needed transparency to our broken healthcare system. sandersinstitute.org/hidden-prices-…

Mifepristone is safe, FDA-approved, and should stay that way. Permanently. Women shouldn’t have to keep wondering if their rights will hold up next week. This is their decision to make, not the government’s.

Trump and MAGA Republicans are ignoring the cost-of-living emergency that’s hurting American families.

If the government shuts down, Congress shouldn’t get paid either. When federal workers miss paychecks, so should we. It’s as simple as that.

Ballrooms. Arches. UFC fights on the White House lawn. Reflecting pool makeovers. These are Trump’s priorities. Not healthcare. Not housing. Not gas prices. Not groceries. nytimes.com/2026/05/11/us/…

The Senate has voted seven times on a War Powers Resolution. Seven times, Republicans have blocked it. Meanwhile, Americans are paying more for just about everything.  We need to end this illegal war.

The American people are being ripped off.  Your costs for healthcare, gas, and groceries have exploded under Trump.  They’re removing commonsense consumer protections that let big banks charge you whatever they want or let predatory collectors go after folks already facing medical debt.  We’re holding the Trump admin accountable to their promises to lower costs and protect working families.

Our thoughts are with the Morton family this week. Craig was a Broncos legend, a true leader of an up and coming team in an up and coming town.

I was proud to host Caroline at the State of the Union this year to highlight the cruelty of Trump's immigration crackdown. Read more about her powerful story and watch our conversation here: hickenlooper.senate.gov/press_releases…

A year ago, 20-year-old Dreamer Caroline Dias Goncalves was wrongfully detained by ICE after a traffic stop in Colorado. Today, she helped secure a major legal victory requiring ICE to retrain agents and curb unlawful arrests in Colorado. Caroline’s courage helped hold ICE accountable. But it shouldn’t fall on her. Republicans need to join us in reining in ICE’s lawlessness and fixing our broken immigration system now.

Our healthcare system is broken and Americans like Catherine are struggling to get by. We need affordable, accessible, and universal healthcare NOW.
