There’s no shortage of fun summer activities in Colorado! As kids head back to school, make the most of these last long summer days: get outside, explore somewhere new, and enjoy your community. And as always, recreate responsibly and respect Colorado’s wildlife and wild spaces.

Pueblo knows good food, and three local food trucks are bringing it to the Governor’s Table at this year’s Colorado State Fair.

I’m looking forward to seeing what these Pueblo favorites serve up as they compete for the Governor’s Table title.

Lois Landgraf spent her life in service to Colorado, first in Fountain, then in the State Capitol, and always in her community. Her dedication to Coloradans, especially our veterans, left a lasting mark on El Paso County and our state.

Libraries are more than shelves of books. They’re safe spaces to learn, explore, ask questions, and be yourself.

That’s why I signed laws protecting public and school libraries — and the people who work in them — from book bans and censorship pressures.

New safety protections for rideshare passengers are now in effect in Colorado.

Under a new law I signed this year, rideshare companies must investigate safety complaints within seven business days, helping Coloradans get where they need to go safely.

Colorado, relief from the heat is here (for now), but stay weather aware. Rain and thunderstorms could bring a risk of flash flooding.

Keep an eye on the forecast, follow local alerts, and never drive through flooded roads. Stay safe, Colorado.

The Colorado State Fair is one of my favorite traditions — a chance to celebrate our state’s agriculture, communities, food, and the people who make Colorado special.

This year is even more meaningful as we celebrate Colorado’s 150th anniversary and 150 years of agricultural heritage.

I’ll always stand up for the right to choose.

In Colorado, we believe reproductive health care decisions should be between a person and their doctor — not politicians.

That’s why I signed the Reproductive Health Equity Act into law in 2022, protecting the right to choose here in Colorado.

Another day, another impeachable offense: The White House ordered federal agencies to block resources to Colorado because it had punished an election denier.

“Our people are dying.” That's what farmworker activist Dolores Huerta said Tuesday before an oversight hearing Calif. legislators held on pesticide regulators. If Calif. is really the green leader it claims to be, why does it allow growers to use pesticides so toxic scores of countries ban them?
