U.S. Senator for Colorado
The Senate just passed our bipartisan bill to put more pressure on Putin and stand firmly with the Ukrainian people. The House must pass it in September — and the Senate must do everything we can to continue supporting Ukraine. Read my full statement ⬇️
Today, with deep disappointment, I voted against the 2026 Farm Bill in the Senate Agriculture Committee. I could not support the bill as written, but I remain committed to finding a bipartisan path forward that works for Colorado families, communities, and farmers.
Happy 150th birthday, Colorado! Let's celebrate everything that makes this state the best in America: our mountains, our public lands, and the Coloradans who call it home.
154 days into President Trump's reckless war of choice, the toll keeps rising. Colorado families have shouldered $1 billion in extra gas costs they cannot afford.
Today’s announcement is the bare minimum. I will continue fighting for a durable, long-term solution that brings certainty to the Colorado River. Read my full statement on the Bureau of Reclamation’s short-term plan for operating the Colorado River ⬇️
I'm leading my colleagues in demanding the Trump Administration crack down on a Russian state-backed crypto network that Putin uses to evade U.S. sanctions and fund his unprovoked war against Ukraine. Read more here: www.bennet.senate.gov/2026/07/30/b...
Good to see President Zelenskyy again yesterday. As Putin stalls at the negotiating table and keeps striking Ukraine, I’m pleased the Senate advanced our bipartisan Russia sanctions bill 86-12.

I'm standing with the Glenwood Springs community to fight against renewed gravel mining threats to the Glenwood Hot Springs. Risking this one-of-a-kind resource is shortsighted and irresponsible.
President Trump isn't standing up for farmers and ranchers, he's selling them out with his incoherent trade war. His failed trade policy has punished our producers and threatened America's global leadership in agriculture.
The Gunnison Basin's public lands are home to a legacy of ranching, critical wildlife habitat, and some of the best outdoor recreation Colorado has to offer.
Backing Ukraine today is the best way to deter authoritarian aggression tomorrow — and secure a future where Europe is whole, free, and at peace.
Happy Fourth of July, Colorado! As America marks 250 years and Colorado celebrates 150 years of statehood, we're reminded that our country has always been one of progress through perseverance.
Today’s decision is a setback for LGBTQ+ Americans and another cruel step in President Trump’s Supreme Court targeting transgender people. Read my full statement on today's Supreme Court ruling allowing states to ban transgender kids from school sports ⬇️
Birthright citizenship is a cornerstone of our Constitution and rests on the belief that all Americans are equal under the law. Read my full statement on today's Supreme Court decision to protect birthright citizenship against Trump’s heinous attacks ⬇️
Today, I attended a fire briefing with local, state, and federal officials in Fruita to ensure our firefighters have the resources they need to battle the devastating Snyder Fire in western Colorado.
Happy Pride, Colorado! I won’t stop fighting to make sure LGBTQ+ Coloradans always feel safe, welcome, and protected in our state.
Lasting change requires all of us coming together and working toward a more equal future. Together, we’ll keep fighting for LGBTQ+ protections and stand up to Trump’s attacks.
Today, we celebrate over a decade of marriage equality across the country. We must keep fighting to protect and expand liberties for every American.
I will continue doing everything in my power to bring this war to an end.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads across Colorado! My girls are the reason I continue to fight every day for Colorado’s future, making our state better for them and the generations who will inherit it.
Happy Juneteenth, Colorado! Today, we commemorate the end of slavery and honor the legacy of Black Americans who have helped build Colorado and our nation.
It’s been five days since election denier Tina Peters walked out of prison and went right back to spreading lies about Colorado’s gold-standard election system. Her release doesn't make those lies any more true. Colorado's elections are secure, and conspiracy theories won't change that.
We need to stop Donald Trump's corrupt DOJ deal that protects him and his family from tax audits and ensure no future administration can abuse government power in the same way. I'll keep fighting his lawlessness.
Tina Peters left prison exactly as she entered it: repeating the same debunked lies and conspiracy theories that got her there. No remorse. Just lies. I will keep fighting to protect our democracy and stop Trump’s taxpayer-funded slush fund before a single dollar is paid out.
Today’s ruling is a critical step in the right direction for science, the hundreds of public servants at NCAR, public safety, and Colorado. Read my statement ⬇️
Tina Peters is out of prison and already spreading the same false claims about Colorado elections that led her to commit four felonies in the first place—all in service of Trump’s Big Lie. That’s not what remorse looks like. Read my statement⬇️
Recently, I sat down with our spring class of D.C. interns to learn what excites them about public service. I'm deeply grateful for the work our interns do to show up for Coloradans each day.
President Trump's executive order attacking mail-in voting is illegal. Colorado decides how Colorado votes. Not Trump. I'm fighting to defend every Coloradan's freedom to vote.
