I was thrilled to meet with local elected officials from across the country participating in the Abundance Fellowship to share Colorado’s leadership to expand access to more housing, affordable, reliable transportation, and low-cost clean energy. By working together and sharing innovative ideas and best practices, we can learn from one another and tackle the shared challenges we face. Colorado keeps pushing forward to make life more affordable, break down barriers that slow or delay progress, and welcome opportunities for Coloradans. I look forward to seeing the exciting work of this group and how they can help move communities forward.

Leading by example and eating healthy carrots! 🥕

Honored to host Turks and Caicos Premier, the Honorable Charles Washington Misick, on a visit to Colorado, celebrating our strong ties and growing our partnership even further. Colorado is so proud of the international ties that boost our economy and enrich our culture. We are excited for the opportunities ahead, especially in our shared focus on tourism and sustainability.

Colorado will set a better example by having healthier food and drinks at state events coloradosun.com/2026/05/21/pol…

Today is National Rescue Dog Day, and I’m especially grateful for my beloved Gia. Adopted from the humane society in Englewood in 2009 at just 2 pounds, Gia is a beloved part of our family. Rescue pets bring so much love, joy, and companionship into our lives — and today is a great reminder to celebrate rescue pets .

Governors @SpencerJCox and @jaredpolis for launching CPE’s Mountain West Geothermal Consortium.

I agree. There were very few out icons and the presence of Barney at the highest levels of government helped show us what was possible

While I don’t agree with him on many issues, @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY has the most integrity of anyone in Congress, and he’s super-smart. I’m truly saddened to see our nation lose out on his ongoing public service. Better times: grist.org/article/these-…

Welcome to the Democratic Party! The broad tent majority party of freedom, the rule of law, limited government, and protecting all of our constitutional rights!

Why would I want to run from it or redefine it? I’ll always stand for free speech and to make sure that we live in a country that no matter what your viewpoints are, you are not incarcerated longer because of them; the very democracy our clerks aspire to protect and defend through capably administering our gold-standard election system.

Blistering reax from Colorado county clerks. “There is no escaping the significance of this moment This is now Gov. Polis’ legacy. He will not be able to run from it or redefine it later." #copolitics

Today I was proud to sign two bills making Colorado an even better place to do business, breaking down barriers and reducing regulation. SB26-137 is a bipartisan effort that will help lower the cost of doing business in Colorado by cutting through burdensome regulations, and will attract more businesses to Colorado. I’m grateful to President James Coleman and Minority Leader Cleave Simpson, Speaker of the House Julie McCluskie and Representative Jarvis Caldwell for their work on this bill. The new AI law, SB26-189, is a big step in the right direction for Colorado, and a model for the rest of the country. Replacing the old law that hasn’t taken effect yet will boost Colorado innovation and entrepreneurship. This law was created through thoughtful collaboration with input from many stakeholders including consumers, advocates, developers and more. Thank you to Majority Leader Rodriguez, Senate President Coleman, and many other legislators who have been a part of this effort to foster innovation in Colorado while protecting Colorado consumers.

My mom, Susan Polis Schutz, has played such an important role throughout my life, from little league coach and artist to role model and guide. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her love and support. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! goodreads.com/author/quotes/…

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms, grandmothers, stepmoms, foster moms, caregivers, and mother figures helping raise the next generation of Coloradans. 💐 Thank you for the love, strength, patience, and support you give your families and communities every day. Colorado and the world are stronger because of you.

From the Blue Bear to Blucifer, Colorado’s blue animal sculptures have become iconic symbols of Denver and our state’s creative spirit: rmpbs.org/news/dispatch/… As we celebrate Colorado 150, America 250, and the 50th anniversary of river otter reintroduction, I think it may be time for Colorado’s next blue icon: a giant blue otter. 🟦🦦
