My office will continue to stand up for Americans of every race, religion, and sexual orientation.

Many people have also asked me what they can do during these challenging times. My advice is for Coloradans to involve themselves in causes that they find just. Groups around the country, for example, advocate for the civil rights of all Americans, including immigrants and members of the LGBTQ community. By remaining involved in the public discourse, families across our state can reject the corrosiveness of today’s politics and ensure that our democratic institutions will continue to protect the rights and liberties of all Americans.

I value the input of fellow Coloradans in considering the wide variety of important issues and legislative initiatives that come before the Senate. I hope you will continue to inform me of your thoughts and concerns.
