Economic prosperity demands growth-friendly policy that enables both businesses and people to move up the economic ladder. But the evidence suggests Colorado is rapidly regulating itself out of business, with employee prosperity suffering as a result. 🔗 coloradopolitics.com/opinion/stop-t…
Sending a cheesehead welcome out to football fans descending on Green Bay (pop. 104,000) for the NFL draft. The Packers are the only community-owned pro team in America, and I’ve spent countless days cheering them on. Here’s hoping Denver gets to host a draft soon as well!



Independence Day is a reminder that democracy does not sustain itself. It requires us to get involved and help steer the course so it remains the people’s democracy. Happy Birthday, America! You are our country! 🎆

We’re happy to support the first major U.S. retrospective of Camille Pissarro in over 40 years, coming to the Denver Art Museum this fall. Become a member and join us for a preview of “The Honest Eye” exhibition of works from the father of impressionism. denverartmuseum.org/en/calendar/ca…

Last year we put a spotlight on the undemocratic vacancy-appointment process. Credit is due to Rep. Duran, @RoseforCO @COSenKirkmeyer and Sen. Daugherty for working across the aisle this year to tackle the issue. Not a perfect fix, but progress. westword.com/news/colorado-…
It ain't over til Aaron Gordon says it's over! Two game-winners so far during the playoffs. Amazing. Congrats to the Nuggets. Can't wait to see what this team does next.
ANOTHER AARON GORDON GAME WINNER 🤯
In honor of #worldbooksday, curious to know what's on your must-read list? Books currently on my nightstand: Ron Chernow's "Grant," a portrait of the 18th POTUS; and Barbara Kingsolver's heartrending novel, "Demon Copperhead."

A good analysis of electoral issues many of us are working to address: lack of competitiveness in our primary elections and therefore a lack of meaningful votes for the vast majority of Americans. What suggestions do you have for addressing the problem? nytimes.com/2025/02/23/us/…
I agree with much of the thoughtful analysis put forward here by @ericsondermann. Curious to know your thoughts on what we can do about our uncompetitive elections? coloradopolitics.com/columnists/loo…
Thanks to Colorado Politics for including me in the roundup of resolutions for 2025. I hope you all have a happy and healthy new year -- and that your resolutions are still on track! coloradopolitics.com/governor/color…
Loved my recent trip to Serbia where I visited with @usambserbia and his wife and saw the home country of the world's greatest basketball player, Nikola Jokic.

“For the second time in four years, Alaskans have decided in favor of elections that empower every voter.” - @Alaskans4BE Congrats to Alaska, and congrats to America. 🇺🇸🎊
