Recently attending the Broomfield Japan Festival, I am honored to recognize the 25 years of friendship between Broomfield and Ueda, Japan. With a long history of exchanging cultures, languages, investments, and people, I look forward to help further strengthen these ties.
While I am proud to say that Colorado was ranked as the top state for education, our kids are still struggling in reading and math. We need to ensure that our education system receives enough funding to combat budget reductions and to allow our schools and students to succeed.

The Colorado Sun is shining a bright light on the dark money here in House District 33. Dark money groups who do their best to hide their donors have spent about $250,000 against me. What we do know of the donors behind these groups, like One Main Street, is alarming!
I'm deeply honored to to be endorsed by Broomfield City Council Member Julie Twiss to continue to serve as Colorado State Representative for House District 33. Public servants turned elected officials like Julie are the foundation of our democracy. Thank you for being a public servant and thank you
In 2006, four CU Boulder students started New Era Colorado as they were driven by the belief that young people are essential to moving the country forward. As one of the youngest legislators at the State Capitol, I was proud to join New Era's 20th Anniversary at my alma mater!
I am happy to announce that HB26-1320, was signed into law by @colorado.gov! In Colorado we cherish the right to democracy through our ballot measures. This law directs the Title Board to write ballot titles using concise, accessible, and understandable language for all Coloradans.
I joined Scott Moss, a law professor who has investigated Dark Money influencing our elections in Colorado. For weeks a new Independent Expenditure Committee based in Durango called "Promoting Progressive Women" has been trying to influence this election, including a new AI slop ad attacking me.
We need legislators who have a record of standing up to Trump and ICE. I supported legislation (SJR26-006, HB26-1276, HB26-1283, SB26-005, and SB26-176) aimed at safeguarding constitutional rights for immigrants and will continue fighting to keep ICE out of our communities.

Hi this is Colorado State Representative Kenny Van Nguyen. Governor Polis' decision to reduce Tina Peters sentence is deeply troubling and disappointing. A Colorado jury in a Republican community found her guilty for actions that compromised election security.

Before the end of session, I joined my fellow colleagues and numerous Consul Generals in recognizing May 12th as Colorado International Friendship Day. Thank you to the representatives from various countries who joined us on this celebratory day as we look to further our relationships abroad.

As the 2026 legislative session comes to a close, I asked a few of my colleagues what they are most proud of. The work is never done, but despite the budget shortfalls I'm proud of how much we were able to accomplish for Coloradans!
