. Pence took two months off from his COVID-19 task force so he could spend his time telling everyone had the pandemic under control. It’s not under control, it’s spreading because of a complete and total failiure of leadership in the White House.

Thank you North Boulder Indivisible for hosting last night's candidate forum! The key to prison reform is keep people out of prison. People need dignity, including housing, education and healthcare.

Meanwhile, the trade war with China continues to hurt Colorado’s rural communities. The Farm Bill must recognize the importance of family farms. Renewable energy belongs in our rural areas and must be run and managed by local trained community members.

4H provided great mentors and helped me learn public speaking, leadership and record keeping.
The young women I mentored in women’s ag leadership continue to grow in their careers and become national leaders in stewardship, food channels and policy making.

I grew up with access and connection to farms. This connection has raised my awareness of the critical role that farmers, rural communities, food production, and farm stability play in our country’s success. I was proud to ride with my Uncle on his tractor as he baled hay.

We all have rights. Threatening "raids" is abusive and destructive. Maintaining concentration camp style detention centers is abhorrent. We must use our rights and speak for all.
Join me to build bridges, not walls.

A Boston Univ. study found that states requiring background checks on all gun sales had homicide rates 15% lower than states without such laws.
Tell your senators to pass a bill requiring #BackgroundChecksNow on all gun sales in America. Text CHECKS to 644-33 to be connected.

97% of Americans support universal background checks but the Senate has not taken action on S. 42 to implement universal background checks. We deserve common-sense gun laws. We need to call on Senators to sponsor S. 42

Millionaires and billionaires at the top should pay their fair share of taxes so I introduced legislation to do just that. We need to #RewardWork and cut taxes for the working class and small businesses.

I support new legislation to prevent the President from using funds to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord & directs the Trump administration to develop a strategic plan for America to meet its commitment under the international agreement. baldwin.senate.gov/press-releases
