God Bless America!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Freedom is not free, and I spent this Independence Day thanking God for the brave patriots who have given so much to defend our freedom. From the fallen patriots at Concord Bridge to the 13 heroes who died in Afghanistan last year, countless brave Americans have paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
This past Independence Day, I hope you spent time with your loved ones to thank God for the freedom we are blessed with. God Bless America!
CELEBRATING A WIN FOR AMERICAN ENERGY AT THE SUPREME COURT
The Supreme Court just issued another excellent decision, killing the EPA’s “Green New Deal” executive mandates. I joined an amicus brief to the Supreme Court arguing that the EPA’s overreaching regulations were unconstitutional, and the Court agreed. With this great decision, the Biden administration’s plan to unilaterally shut down coal power plants across the country is dead for now. I will keep fighting to make sure that the Biden administration does not succeed in its plan to use red tape to shut down American energy.
Our government of the people, by the people, for the people is meant to be led by the people’s elected Representatives, not unaccountable bureaucrats. Congress never gave the EPA the power to dictate the details of how energy producers should produce energy for every power plant across the country. Obama tried to “use his pen” to bypass Congress, and I am grateful that the Supreme Court has restored the separation of powers.
INTRODUCING LEGISLATION TO HALT THE RADICAL LEFT’S PLAN TO BUILD ABORTION MILLS ON FEDERAL LAND
The radical left believes in abortion at all costs. AOC, Senator Warren, and the rest of the Genocide Squad will not rest until every baby in America is at risk. The radical left has proposed building abortion facilities on America’s public lands to circumvent state laws protecting unborn children.
America’s unborn sons and daughters, who are our future, should be protected. I introduced the Protecting Life on Federal Lands Act to ensure extremists won’t be able to use federal lands and military bases to circumvent the SCOTUS decision and state laws to perform abortions on federal lands.
THANKING THE COLORADO STATE PATROL FOR TAKING FENTANYL OFF THE STREETS
The brave men and women of the Colorado State Patrol seized 114 pounds of fentanyl from a drug mule driving on I-70. If this poison was able to flow into our communities, it had the lethal power to kill over 25 million people. I am so grateful for our law enforcement officers who risk their lives every day to keep Coloradans safe.
Fentanyl is killing Coloradans at a record rate and is now the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45. I introduced legislation to call fentanyl what it is: a weapon of mass destruction. My bill is a real solution that will increase interagency coordination, increase resources to detect fentanyl, and ensure analytical data-based decision-making.

UPCOMING MOBILE OFFICE HOURS
Serving the people of Colorado’s Third Congressional District is the greatest honor of my life. If you are having issues with a federal agency or want your voice to be heard, please come to one of our mobile office hours, and a member of my team will be happy to assist you.
My team has already returned over $1,000,000 to constituents, including a few of the following victories:
- A couple traveling overseas was separated due to the husband testing positive for COVID. The wife contacted my office for help since her husband was detained at a quarantine facility with unsafe and unsanitary conditions. My office worked with the Department of State to convey emergency instructions to the embassy and help get the husband out of this dangerous situation.
- Due to red-tape and staffing issues at the VA—including no one answering the phones—a Silver Star veteran had gone 14 months waiting for an authorization for care. Within days of opening the case, the veteran’s condition turned to an emergency. We were able to escalate the case through the VA-VISN, and stayed in contact with the veteran over the weekend so he could get immediate help.
- Farmers raised complaints that the USDA was declining their crop loss insurance claims due to "failure to irrigate" during a drought. My district staff contacted the agency and worked to have the issue resolved so that farmers' claims could be paid.
- A Grand Junction small business' EIDL loan was denied by the Small Business Administration (SBA) without justification. My office contacted the SBA to get them to re-look at the case and reverse their decision and grant the EIDL loan and save the small business from going under.
My team will be available to help constituents who aren’t getting answers from federal agencies, like veterans seeking to get the care they earned from the VA, travelers that need expedited assistance to receive a passport on short notice, taxpayers being harassed by the IRS, senior citizens having issues with the Social Security Administration or Medicare, and more.
