Dear Neighbor,  The last few weeks have been a very turbulent and chaotic time in our nation’s capital, as I’ve been focused on standing firm and charting a way forward that protects Colorado from the devastating harms caused by the administration’s actions. I’m incredibly grateful to the thousands of community members who have contacted our offices in Fort Collins, Boulder and Frisco to share their concerns, ask questions, and make their voices heard.  Earlier this week, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced the creation of a Litigation Working Group and Rapid Response Task Force, which he has asked me to lead and serve as chairman of the effort. I’m honored to do so. As you know, in just the past month the Trump administration has issued a series of executive orders and administrative actions that are unconstitutional and will impose dire consequences for folks across the country, including here in Colorado. These actions warrant a decisive response, which is why our Task Force will work together to develop comprehensive legislative, oversight and legal strategies.  We also want to continue hearing from you, which is why we’re launching our Share Your Story form, a space for residents of Colorado’s 2nd District to share the challenges they’re facing during these tumultuous times. Your voice helps guide our work and ensures we advocate for the solutions our community needs. If you’d like to share a story from your household or community about the impacts of the President’s directives—such as federal hiring freezes, federal employee terminations, grant and loan funding freezes, agency office closures, or other executive actions—please fill out this form. Please read on for a recap of last week’s actions and activities. Our work continues.
