PASSED! Today, the Senate voted 23 to 11 to pass my bill with Sen. @JeffBridges to help increase the availability of affordable housing by streamlining the approval process for modular housing units! #COLeg #COPolitics The bill goes now to the House for further debate.

Debates in the legislature are getting more intense as we get closer to the end of session -- which is still 47 days away -- but even so, we're still working together to get good things done for the people of Colorado. #COLeg #COPolitics

After doing two town halls myself over the last few weeks, last night I was just a constituent and observer at US @SenatorBennet 's public town hall at Harrison High School here in Colorado Springs.

My good friend Janet Buckner retired from the Senate before we had a chance to honor years of service to the State. But she came back for a day, so we took the opportunity to read tributes in her honor and give speeches praising her. I was very happy to see her again. #COLeg

I had a great time meeting and speaking with the people who came up from Colorado Springs today to do this good work.

Advocates for people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) came to the Capitol today -- bringing Miss Pikes Peak with them -- to speak with us about supporting people with IDD and utilizing them as resources for IDD-related issues. #COLeg #COPolitics

SPECIAL GUESTS. Today I was honored to meet and speak with so many people who came up from El Paso County to the State Capitol building: students and administrators from Harrison School District 2, as well as Moms Demand Action advocates.

After posing on the west steps for a group photo, we went back to work in the Senate, where I chaired the Committee of the Whole through some discussions of critical legislation. #COLeg #COPolitics

We love celebrating birthdays in the Senate, even for those Senators who (like me) have birthdays during the months when the Senate is not in session. #COLeg #COPolitics And oh yeah, @RepJoeNeguse was there, too.
