He will join the impacted communities at events commemorating the anniversary later today. “The Marshall Fire devastated neighborhoods across Louisville, Superior, and unincorporated Boulder County – destroying over a thousand homes and businesses, and resulting in the tragic loss of life. This catastrophic disaster would shortly become known as the most destructive fire in Colorado’s history. “Today is a solemn reminder of everything that the families in our community lost that day. But it is also a reminder of the incredible resiliency and kindness of the people of our community and our state, who have supported each other and our fellow citizens every step of the way during the past year as we’ve begun the long road of recovery. “Natural disasters have the power to reshape our communities for years to come, and as we pause to reflect on the progress made over the past year, we are reminded of the fact that many families and businesses are still very much in recovery. Today, and everyday, we recommit ourselves to redoubling our efforts to make the recovery process as quick and effective as possible.” Individuals impacted by the Marshall Fire can continue to find a list of resources offered by our office, here, and our team is always available to assist constituents directly as they navigate the road ahead. The Boulder County government has also compiled a list of resources and events available to those affected by the Marshall Fire, view here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Neguse-led Ethics Bill into Law | 2022-12-27 | 2022 | 2022-12 | Democrat | House | CO | Joe Neguse | N000191 | neguse.house.gov | neguse | https://neguse.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington D.C.—Today, President Biden enacted Congressman Joe Neguse’s bill, the Strengthening Ethics Act of 2021, to foster government accountability and oversight. The legislation makes technical changes to Title 5 of the U.S. Code and elevates the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the Inspector General Act of 1978, and the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 officially into the United States Code. “This bill makes substantial steps towards increasing government accountability and oversight, enshrining several good governance bills into the base text of the U.S. Code Title 5. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, I am proud to have spearheaded this effort to promote ethics in government,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. By moving these statutes into the base text of the U.S. Code Title 5, the Strengthening Ethics Act of 2021 helps the Judiciary Committee promote good governance and conduct continued oversight over the branches of government. From requiring financial disclosures from public officials to maintaining independent avenues for probing misconduct, the Act and the provisions it elevates are central to upholding the highest possible standards of government accountability.

The funding, totaling $21,294,509 for Colorado’s 6th Congressional District, was passed today in the final 2023 appropriations government funding package. The package was already passed by the Senate and will now go to President Biden’s desk for his signature. “As families struggle with rising costs and uncertain supply chains, I’m focused on ensuring Coloradans have access to the resources they need to thrive,” said Crow. “I’m proud to deliver these investments to support kids in our community, provide mental health care, honor our veterans, and so much more. I look forward to seeing the everyday impact these projects will have on folks in our district.” Find more details on each project here. Rep. Crow championed funding for 15 projects that will directly benefit Colorado’s 6th District residents. These include: $2,000,000 for the Aurora Community Mental Health Center, Aurora, CO for facilities and equipment $1,212,062 for the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Denver, CO for afterschool programs $1,500,000 for the Cherry Creek School District, Greenwood Village, CO for facilities and equipment $668,313 for the Children’s Hospital Colorado, Aurora, CO to enhance access to mental health care services, including training $2,800,000 for the City of Aurora for a Waterline Replacement Program $1,500,000 for the Colorado Freedom Memorial Center $629,970 for the Douglas County, Castle Rock, CO for mental and behavioral health services and treatment, including technology $650,000 for the Food Bank Vehicles Project $2,500,000 for the Martin Luther King Jr. Library Improvements Project $340,000 for the Providence at the Heights (PATH) Project $4,000,000 for the The Roots- A Community Hub for Newcomers in Colorado $1,500,000 for the Tri-Cities Ready to Work Program $783,580 for the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center, Aurora, CO for a rural public health certificate program, includ… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Unlike other federal research entities, ARPA-H will be nimble and modeled largely after the Department of Defense’s highly successful DARPA program, which is responsible for developing some of the most consequential technologies of our time – including the Internet, GPS and self-driving cars. “Like DARPA, ARPA-H will bring together some of the nation’s greatest minds and give them access to the federal government’s virtually limitless resources to make the impossible, possible,” said U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), who co-led the effort on Capitol Hill to create the new agency. “This is the start of a whole new era in biomedical research. The work that will soon be done by this agency will likely shape the future of biomedical research in this country for many years to come.” The effort to create ARPA-H began shortly after President Biden was elected to office. Biden met with DeGette, U.S. Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) and others in the Oval Office in March 2021 to discuss the president’s plan to create a new advanced research agency to find a cure for cancer. After that meeting DeGette and Upton, who had worked together with then Vice-President Biden to include his Cancer Moonshot program in their landmark 21st Century Cures Act legislation, immediately began working with their colleagues to draft the legislation needed to create the new agency. Unlike other federal agencies, ARPA-H will be run by a relatively small number of program managers who will each be given a high degree of autonomy to choose which high-risk, high-reward projects to pursue. The primary focus of the new agency will be to accelerate biomedical research and develop innovative new treatments and cures for some of the world’s deadliest diseases.

The legislation includes more than $24.2 million requested by U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) to fund 14 projects in the Denver area, most of which are aimed at providing more housing and essential services to those experiencing homelessness in the Mile High city. “This is a big, big deal for our community,” DeGette said after the legislation was approved. “These projects will make more housing and essential services available to those who need it in our area. While no one project, alone, will solve the crisis we face, each one of these projects will play a key role in strengthening the overall web of support we’re able to offer to those experiencing homelessness in our community.” Among the funding DeGette secured for the Denver area is $4 million to help fund the construction of 74 new apartments for low-income single parents in Denver’s Warren Village; $4 million to help fund the purchase of the now-abandoned Clarion Hotel in North Denver and convert it into more housing for those experiencing homelessness; and $1 million for Habitat for Humanity to build several new homes in Denver’s Villa Park. The measure also includes $2.2 million DeGette requested for Denver Health to provide essential oral health services in some of Denver’s most underserved communities; $1.2 million she sought to help the Food Bank of the Rockies purchase additional coolers to store and distribute more food to those in need; and $1 million she pushed for to help construct a new youth mental-health treatment center to help low-income children in the North Denver area. In addition to funding these critical projects, the spending bill – which is now headed to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law – includes several other measures DeGette had introduced – including legislation she led to establish a new Advan… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Neguse Washington, D.C. — Congressman Joe Neguse celebrated the inclusion of 39 bills, community projects, and Colorado funding priorities in the Fiscal Year 2023 omnibus government funding bill. “I’m excited that so many priorities that are important for Colorado are included in the omnibus bill. From transformative funding that we fought to secure for providing shelter for our nation’s veterans to critical water conservation and infrastructure projects in our rural and mountain communities, the investments in this bill will benefit countless Coloradans across our great state. With these resources, we can invest in science and sustainability, bolster early education and childcare, better prepare for the next wildfire, and more. And I look forward to President Biden signing into law, as part of the omnibus, multiple pieces of legislation that our office authored, including legislation to strengthen anti-trust enforcement and protect endangered species in our water basins,” said Congressman Neguse. The priorities include: Bills: Merger Filing Fee Modernization Act of 2022, bipartisan antitrust enforcement legislation to help small and medium-sized businesses. Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins Recovery Act, conservation legislation to continue protecting four threatened and endangered native fish species in Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins.

Porter and I are working to close those loopholes and shine a light on dark money in politics.” “Elections are one of the fundamental ways that Americans make their voices heard in our political system; voters should have clarity before polls close on who’s spending to sway the outcome,” said Porter. “Our ETHICS Act fixes a loophole that super PACs and big-money donors have exploited to spend millions of dollars before elections without disclosing who they are. This will provide more accountability and help earn back the people’s trust in government.” Under current campaign finance rules, a PAC that files a statement of organization less than twenty days before an election can opt to disclose their donors on the 20th of the following month — weeks after the polls have closed.

Diana DeGette (D-CO) and Mondaire Jones (D-NY) to reaffirm the federal Food and Drug Administration’s authority to block states from enacting new regulations that would limit a patient’s access to reproductive health care products – including abortion pills. Approval of the measure comes as more than a dozen states across the U.S. have enacted new laws to limit, or outright ban,access to abortion care in wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade; and as several states are now reportedly seeking to criminalize the delivery of abortion pills by mail to patients within their borders as well. “Every woman in this country should have the freedom to make her own health care decisions – including whether to use birth control or seek abortion care,” said DeGette, who serves as co-chair of the House Pro-Choice Caucus. “FDA has the power to prevent states from limiting patients’ access to reproductive health care products the agency has approved. This resolution reaffirms that power and sends a clear message to statesthat Congress will not allow any attempt to block women’s access to abortion pills by mail to go unchallenged.” The resolution reaffirms FDA’s preemptive authority to prevent states from enacting regulations that limit or prohibit patients from accessing reproductive health products approved by the agency, including abortion pills delivered directly to patients by mail. It also reaffirms the authority of the U.S. Attorney General to take action against any state that enacts a law that prohibits or limits a patients’ ability to access or use such products. Congress granted FDA sole authority to regulate reproductive health products under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. In doing so, it also granted the agency preemptive authority to prevent states from enacting their own regulations that would prohibit or restrict patients’ ability to access a reproductive health product that’s been approved by t… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Diana DeGette (D-CO) and Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) will serve as the caucus co-chairs for the 118th Congress. Bilirakis will take over as the caucus’s Republican co-chair from Rep. Tom Reed (R-NY), who resigned from Congress in May. DeGette, who will continue to serve as the Democratic co-chair of the caucus, says she’s looking forward to working with her colleague from Florida in the next congress to build upon the momentum the caucus has made in recent years to increase funding for diabetes research and lower the cost of insulin for all Americans. “As the mother of a daughter born with Type 1 diabetes, I know firsthand the challenges that so many Americans with this disease are facing on a daily basis,” DeGette said. “I am excited to welcome Congressman Bilirakis as the new Republican co-chair of our caucus. He, too, knows firsthand the challenges that millions of Americans living with diabetes are facing and I look forward to working with him to continue building bipartisan support for our mission to lower the cost of insulin for all Americans and ultimately cure this disease once and for all.” “As one of the 37.3 million Americans living with diabetes, I am all too aware of the serious health complications that this condition can cause if it is not properly managed,” Bilirakis said. “According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 1 in 10 Americans have diabetes and 1 in 5 are unaware of their condition. In addition to the harmful impact on millions of patients, this issue indirectly impacts all Americans as $1 out of every $4 in US healthcare costs are spent caring for patients experiencing complications stemming from unmanaged diabetes. Better education about proper prevention and management of this chronic condition is critical for improving patient outcomes and lowering the costs associated with treatment.

The legislation will provide millions of dollars to fund 14 key projects throughout Denver, most of which are designed to make more housing, food and other essential services available to those experiencing homelessness in the Mile High city. “We need all hands on deck to help those experiencing homelessness in our community,” DeGette said. “These projects will make more housing and health care services available in some of our most underserved communities. And while they alone will not solve all the issues facing our community, these projects will provide critical assistance to so many in our area who desperately need help.” The legislation, which the Senate is expected to vote on as early as Wednesday, will provide, among other things, $4 million to help fund the construction of more than 70 new apartments in Denver’s Warren Village, which will then be made available to low-income single-parents with nowhere else to turn. It will also provide $4 million to help Colorado Coalition for the Homeless purchase the now-abandoned Clarion Hotel in North Denver and convert it into more housing for those who are experiencing homelessness; and $1 million to help Habitat for Humanity build six new homes in Denver’s Villa Park.

The bill would continue protecting four threatened and endangered native fish species in the Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins. It extends conservation programs for one year to give Upper Basin communities time to develop a long-term management plan. Representative Neguse first introduced this bill in August 2021 and secured its passage through the House of Representatives less than a year later. The bill is led by Senators John Hickenlooper (D-CO) and Mitt Romney (R-UT) in the U.S. Senate. The fish recovery programs have been widely celebrated success stories in the Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins. In November 2021, the Fish and Wildlife Service downlisted the humpback chub from “endangered” to “threatened” thanks to the recovery programs. “Throughout the course of this Congress, we’ve worked tirelessly to push for the enactment of the Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins Recovery Act to provide support to these highly successful recovery programs, spearheaded by the states, tribes, and individuals who know the ecosystems best. I am grateful to my colleagues in the Senate for moving quickly to get this bill to President Biden, and look forward to the renewal of these vital conservation projects,” said Representative Neguse, Chair of the House Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands. “Tribes, communities, water users, the state, and now Congress, all came together to protect our native fish and rivers,” said Senator Hickenlooper, a member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. “This is how we save our rivers.” “This legislation represents an example of what successfully recovering endangered species looks like, and I’m proud to team up with my colleague from Colorado to get it through the finish line. … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

The Higher Education Access for Military Dependents Act extends eligibility for in-state tuition at public institutions for military dependents in the first year that their servicemember parent's duty station changes states. On average, military children move three times more than their civilian peers. For these dependents, a change in duty station during their senior year of high school can be disruptive with frequent moves impacting the academic and social support systems all students need for success. “As a veteran, I know when one person serves, the whole family serves. When military parents get restationed, their kids’ education is also disrupted,” said Congressman Crow. “I’m proud to lead this bipartisan effort with Representative Miller-Meeks to provide more flexibility so students in military families have affordable access to higher education.” “As both a 24-year Army veteran and daughter of a military family, I understand the difficulties that come with moving one’s family from base to base,” said Congresswoman Miller-Meeks. “However, these moves shouldn’t affect a child’s access to post-secondary education. It’s our duty to support our servicemembers and their families. Our bill will alleviate some of the stress that comes with applying for colleges and universities and ensure children of military families are afforded the best opportunities.” "Colorado has long been a leader in assuring military members and their dependents have access to affordable higher education," said Todd Saliman, President of the University of Colorado System.

Diana DeGette (D-CO), one of the nine House impeachment managers who presented the case against President Trump to the Senate last year, on the bipartisan January 6 Committee’s unanimous vote today to refer former President Trump to the Dept. of Justice for criminal prosecution: “This is an unprecedented moment for our country. Never before has Congress referred a former president to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, but never before has a former president incited a violent insurrection to overturn the results of a legitimate election. “The evidence presented is overwhelming. President Trump put himself above the country he swore to protect. He launched a deadly, brazen attack on the U.S. Capitol building to remain in power against the will of the people. There is no higher crime against our democracy. There is no greater betrayal of the public’s trust than what President Trump did that day. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

In a letter to Acting Administrator Billy Nolen, the Members requested that the FAA do more to engage with the community on their concerns and engage in a good-faith discussion about potentially changing the flight pattern at Centennial. “We encourage in-person attendance, to the greatest extent possible, by an FAA representative at each of the monthly meetings to engage with community members on their concerns and to hear from Centennial Airport officials on areas where there is a need for greater coordination and support,” wrote the Members. “A fundamental piece of this engagement should be a good faith discussion on revisiting changes made by the FAA to the air traffic pattern. We also encourage the FAA to commit to a written response to the community’s concerns,” they continued. After two small planes collided on May 12, 2021, over Cherry Creek State Park while attempting to land at Centennial Airport, the FAA shifted the air traffic pattern for the area without consulting the airport or the community. That change has resulted in increased traffic over residential areas. Residents have relayed concerns related to this traffic pattern change, including those from noise pollution and potential lead pollution due to the leaded fuel used by single-engine planes. Other concerns include an increase in flight school flights, specifically noise attributable to repeated touch-and-go operations, and anticipated growth in flights out of this airport.

He also spoke of the significant investments allotted to the state through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help fend off fires – including the nationwide investment of $228 million announced yesterday by the Deputy Secretary of the Interior, Tommy Beaudreau, during a visit to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. Watch HERE. On the benefits of these resiliency programs, Congressman Neguse said: “What that program [the Landscape Restoration Partnership] does, is it brings together private landowners, the federal government, and state and local jurisdictions to do land restoration projects in areas that are particularly high risk for wildfires. That program has been very successful, for example, in northern and western Larimer County as well as other parts of our state.” So far, to prevent wildfires in Colorado, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has allocated: $720 million for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Joint Chiefs’ Landscape Restoration Partnership, including for the Southern Front Range Watershed Project; $5.1 million for fuels management wildfire resiliency projects; And $20 million for the Colorado State University Forest Restoration Research. Through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Department of Interior is investing $1.5 billion over five years to improve firefighter pay and increase the resilience of communities and lands facing the threat of wildfires. This funding supports a national Five-year Monitoring, Maintenance, and Treatment Plan, which lays out a roadmap to address wildfire risk and prepare communities and ecosystems for the threat of wildfire. The $228 million announced today follows $180 million in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law support to wildland fire management programs in fiscal year 2022, for a total of $408 million in funding.

Diana DeGette (D-CO) took steps today to honor the victims of the deadly attack at the Club Q nightclub in Colorado Springs. DeGette introduced a resolution in the U.S. House condemning the attack on the popular LGBTQ+ club and calling for an end to the hate-filled rhetoric that’s led to a sharp increase in violent threats targeting the LGBTQ+ community nationwide. “Let us be clear: no one in this country should have to live in constant fear of being attacked for who they are or who they love,” DeGette said. “No one should have to experience the unimaginable pain and suffering that so many in our community are now feeling in the wake of this senseless attack at Club Q.” Five people died and, at least, 22 more were injured when a shooter armed with a semiautomatic assault weapon and high-capacity magazine opened fire inside the club on Nov. 19. The resolution honoring those killed in the attack and condemning a recent rise in violence targeting members of the LGBTQ+ community was signed by 115 members of the House, including all four Democratic members of Colorado’s Congressional delegation and over 100 members of the Congressional LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus. “On the eve of Transgender Day of Remembrance, the LGBTQ+ community was once again devastated by the horrific attack at Club Q,” said U.S. Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI), who serves as chair of the Congressional LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus. “After the mass shooting at Pulse Nightclub, we prayed that something like this would never happen again—that our safe spaces wouldn’t be violated by such hate and violence. These horrifying attacks do not happen in a vacuum. Over the last few years, we have seen an alarming increase in hateful and violent rhetoric against the LGBTQ+ community and those who support us. Words and actions have consequences, and two weeks ago, the Department of Homeland Security raised concerns about increased threats to our community by extremists inspired by the Club Q attack.

Sara Jacobs (CA-53) and Tom Malinowski (NJ-07), all members of the Protection of Civilians in Conflict Caucus, in pressing the Biden Administration for more transparency around current counterterrorism policy. This letter to President Biden comes after reporting that Biden signed a classified policy changing the process regarding counterterrorism drone strikes outside conventional war zones. “As members of the Protection of Civilians in Conflict Caucus, we write in response to reports describing the new Biden Administration targeting standards employed outside conventional war zones in countries such as Somalia and Yemen. We are heartened to read that the new policy reportedly requires the military establish ‘near certainty’ that the intended target is a member of a designated terrorist group approved for direct action and near certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured,” wrote the Members. “We are concerned, however, about some of the reporting regarding the new direct action policy,” the Members continued. “We welcome your commitment to prevent and address civilian harm caused by U.S. military operations and ensure democratic accountability for the use of force.” In the letter, the Members express their concern over targeting standards employed outside conventional war zones, including: (1) the lack of transparency surrounding the policy, (2) the willingness of partner forces to adhere to US standards, and (3) the apparent exemption of collective self-defense operations. And they request answers to specific questions around transparency, allied and partner strikes, and strikes in defense of allies and partners. See the full text of the letter here and below.

Both bills were conferenced with the Senate and passed today in the House by a margin of 350-80. They will now head to the President’s desk for signature. With the aftermath of Vladimir Putin’s unlawful invasion of Ukraine and the growing strategic challenge posed by China, this NDAA and IAA equip the Department of Defense (DoD) and US military with the right resources and authorities to meet the greatest threats to the United States and our common defense. It also supports our servicemembers and their families with a 4.6% pay raise for our troops. “When I was a young soldier I had to live with decisions made in Washington. I will never forget what that felt like. That's why I take my responsibility on the Armed Services Committee very seriously,” said Congressman Jason Crow. “I’m proud to secure important wins for our servicemembers and for Colorado – providing a well-deserved pay raise for our troops, ensuring Coloradans remain on the frontier of technology and research, advancing US climate leadership, and increasing accountability in the military.

In a letter sent to the CEO of Ticketmaster’s parent company Live Nation Entertainment, Inc., Michael Rapino, the lawmakers – all of whom serve as senior members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee – said they were particularly concerned about the chaotic pre-sale of tickets for Taylor Swift’s upcoming concert tour and requested company officials meet with committee investigators to provide additional information on the company’s ticketing process by December 15. Among the information lawmakers have requested is specific details on “additional fees, insider reserves, dynamic pricing, restrictions on transferability, limited ticket availability, speculative ticketing, verified fan program requirements, and scalping by bots and other scammers.” “The Energy and Commerce Committee has previously raised concerns about business practices in the live ticketing industry,” the lawmakers wrote. “The recent pre-sale ticketing process for Taylor Swift’s upcoming Eras tour – in which millions of fans endured delays, lockouts, and competition with aggressive scammers, scalpers, and bots – raises concerns over the potential unfair and deceptive practices that face consumers and eventgoers.” In addition to DeGette, the letter was signed by U.S. Reps.

This bill directs the Secretary of Defense to do a study of the heat island effect on large-scale installations and then compose a plan to increase greenery coverage to lessen the consequences of this climate phenomenon. The heat island effect has been shown to have an impact on sizable military installations, including military bases, and the increase in temperatures can lead to higher rates of heat-related illnesses in servicemembers. Congressman Neguse secured passage of this provision as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2023, but this marks the first time the bill has been introduced as a stand-alone measure. “As a member of the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis and the House Natural Resources Committee, I am dedicated to building a more sustainable America. The SHIELD Act prioritizes climate mitigation in communities across this country, improving the livelihoods of Americans everywhere,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. Read the bill text HERE. Heat islands can be found in urban or metropolitan areas and are significantly warmer than their surrounding rural areas due to unsustainable levels of human activity. Additionally, they contribute to higher temperatures, reduced nighttime cooling, and higher levels of air pollution. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Specifically, they request that the agencies prevent witnesses from being transferred to other facilities against their will and issue stays of removal for witnesses who have deportation orders. “The [GEO] Facility’s negative history has resulted in enhanced congressional oversight,” wrote the Members. “As we endeavor to provide enhanced oversight of this Facility, we urge you to keep our offices informed of the agency’s investigations into Mr. Calero-Mendoza’s death. In adherence with agency protocol, we request that the DHS OIG and ICE OPR independently investigate Mr. Calero-Mendoza’s death and make the results of the investigations publicly available.” Following completion of the investigations, the lawmakers also requested a Member-level briefing to understand the circumstances surrounding Mr. Calero-Mendoza’s death and what steps the Facility should take to prevent similar deaths in the future. See the full text of the letter here and below. Dear Inspector General Cuffari and Acting Director Johnson: On October 14, 2022, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported the death of Melvin Ariel Calero-Mendoza, who was detained at the Aurora Contract Detention Facility (“Facility”) operated by the GEO Group in Aurora, Colorado.

This announcement follows a letter the lawmakers sent in August, urging HUD to approve the state’s waiver request to streamline the recovery process for communities rebuilding after the Marshall Fire, the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history. Colorado’s Department of Local Affairs requested to waive the HUD rule that requires Boulder County to administer funds, instead of the state. This requirement would have strained the county’s limited resources and delayed recovery. “Over the past ten months, we’ve worked to ensure that our community has the federal resources necessary to recover and rebuild from the Marshall Fire, the most destructive fire in Colorado’s history. We’ve also partnered with Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper to secure administrative relief for our community at every turn, including expanded coverage for FEMA’s private property debris removal program. I’m grateful that the Department of Housing & Urban Development has provided additional relief by granting our request for a Community Development Block Grant waiver, which will enable the State of Colorado to administer these funds directly and streamline the recovery process. And we will keep working every day to ensure that federal resources are brought to bear as our community recovers from this unprecedented disaster,” said Congressman Neguse. “We greatly appreciate HUD’s flexibility and support on this matter,” said Senator Bennet. “Every dollar we save by streamlining the process is another dollar for the survivors of the Marshall Fire as they continue to rebuild.” “We must help rebuild the communities impacted by the Marshall Fire. This HUD waiver will get funding faster to those who need it most,” … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:34:28Z |

Lafayette, CO—Today, Congressman Joe Neguse celebrated the formal groundbreaking of the Floyd Hill I-70 expansion project, funded by a $100,000,000 grant for the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) awarded through the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. In February, Representative Neguse, Governor Polis, and Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper welcomed U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for a tour of Floyd Hill and I-70, and an opportunity to discuss how these investments will benefit the people of Colorado. “As we are all well aware, Floyd Hill is a gateway to Colorado’s robust outdoor recreation and mountain tourism industries—and that unique role brings unique challenges. Thanks to investments made by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we will see a dramatic decrease in not only travel times but in transportation-related costs. And as we break ground today we are taking one huge step toward a safer, more efficient Colorado,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. The Floyd Hill project will expand Interstate 70 (I-70), adding a third westbound travel lane. It will also repair roads in the area, rebuild interchanges and frontage roads, add a fourth westbound lane for slow-moving vehicles, and add wildlife crossings. As a gateway to Colorado’s mountain communities, this roadway is faced with the unique challenges of a heavy tourism corridor. “I am thrilled to announce the start of the I-70 Floyd Hill project which will add a lane Westbound from the top of Floyd Hill to the mountain express lane and a climbing lane Eastbound from the bottom of Floyd Hill to the Homestead exit. These improvements will improve safety, reduce traffic and make it easier and faster for people to access the outdoors and mountain communities.

This program is critical to helping keep water in Lake Mead and Lake Powell, reservoirs that are part of a system providing water to more than 40 million people across the Western United States. This crucial bill comes at the mark of the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act, which protects streams, rivers, lakes, estuaries, and wetlands across the country. “Colorado faces the driest climate in U.S. history. That’s why I’m proud to work with members of the CO delegation as well as Reps. Stansbury, Lesko, and Lee to empower community water conservation efforts in response to the drought,” said Rep. Crow. “Reauthorizing water conservation programs with proven success keeps water flowing to millions of users and fulfills our promise to protect the lifeblood of our state.” “As record-breaking drought conditions worsen it is imperative that we use programs that are proven to support and conserve our critical water sources. The System Conservation Pilot Program increases drought preparedness for Coloradans and communities across the West, and I’m proud to join this legislation which would reauthorize the important program,” said Rep.

Diana DeGette (D-CO) and Mondaire Jones (D-NY) introduced a resolution today to reaffirm the Food and Drug Administration’s authority to preempt state law and ensure patients continue to have access to reproductive health care products – including abortion pills. The measure comes as more than a dozen states have enacted new laws to limit, or outright ban, patients’ access to reproductive care in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. And, as some states are now reportedly seeking to criminalize the delivery of abortion pills by mail to patients within their borders. The resolution reaffirms the FDA’s preemptive authority to prevent states from enacting regulations that limit or prohibit patients from accessing reproductive health products approved by the agency, including abortion pills delivered directly to patients. It also reaffirms the authority of the U.S. Attorney General to take action against any state that enacts a law that prohibits or limits a patients’ ability to access or use such products. “We are not going to sit back and allow states to put their own radical agendas between patients and the care they need,” said DeGette, co-chair of the House Pro-Choice Caucus. “Every woman in this country, no matter where she lives or how much money she makes, deserves the freedom to make her own health care decisions – including whether to use birth control or seek abortion care. By reaffirming FDA’s power to regulate such products, we are sending the states a clear message that we will not tolerate any attempt to limit women’s access to reproductive care.” “Congress must act immediately to prevent states from banning medication abortions,” Jones said. “Our most fundamental rights are under attack by this rogue Supreme Court majority, and we have a responsibility to do everything we can to protect these rights and defend every American’s access to life-saving medical care.

Our thoughts are with Mr. Ariel Calero-Mendoza’s family and friends as they deal with this difficult news. “Since joining Congress, I have used all tools at my disposal to perform oversight of this facility. As soon as my office became aware of this tragedy, we immediately sought more information. As I continue regular oversight, I will see to it that proper protocol is followed.” Background: Rep. Crow has conducted ongoing oversight of this facility since he began representing our community in Congress. In 2019, after being unable to gain access to the facility, he passed the POD Act to ensure members of Congress could enter these federal facilities and provide accountability for their constituents. Crow’s office performs consistent oversight and publishes weekly reports to keep constituents informed about what is happening inside the facility. Earlier this year, Rep. Crow pressed the Biden Administration to close for-profit immigration detention centers like the GEO Group facility in Aurora. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |

The Camp Hale-Continental Divide National Monument permanently protects the historic sites and public landscapes located in the state’s Eagle Valley region. Representative Neguse has championed this designation for several years through the introduction of his bill, the Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy (CORE) Act, which he secured passage of five times in the House of Representatives. Today’s decision from the Biden Administration comes just a month after Rep. Neguse, U.S. Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, and Colorado Governor Jared Polis wrote to President Biden requesting he use his Presidential authorities to protect the landscapes included in the CORE Act, including Camp Hale and the Thompson Divide, following a visit from U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack that Chairman Neguse hosted in Eagle County. The administration is also announcing a proposed 20-year mineral withdrawal for 225,000 acres in the Thompson Divide area to prohibit mining, in response to this letter and broad concerns about protecting the Thompson Divide’s important wildlife habitat, recreation opportunities, grazing lands and clean air and water. “For over a decade, Colorado’s mountain and rural communities, small businesses, recreation groups, ranchers and conservationists have worked together in an effort to protect our public lands, honor the legacy of Camp Hale and secure outdoor recreation opportunities.

KEY POINTS: “When I first began serving in Congress, I had the special opportunity to tour these grounds with Sandy, a World War II veteran who trained at Camp Hale and spent his final years working to preserve this land. And Sandy once wrote, “I grew up in [an] America…that valued our wild lands, and this is a value that I hope lives on long after I am gone.” Today, we made good. The president made good. Senator Bennet and Senator Hickenlooper and Governor Polis made good on the promise to Sandy. That this land is valued, and the service of the 10th Mountain Division will never, never be forgotten.” […] “I am so proud that after championing the protection of this area with Senator Bennet, who has been tireless for a decade, working to get this done, that we can now honor the legacy of Sandy and the 10th Mountain Division and that this will be a reality.” FULL REMARKS: “Thank you, Secretary Vilsack, of course to Governor Polis, to my two colleagues in the United States Senate—Senator Bennet and Senator Hickenlooper—and to President Joe Biden. Let me just say this, it is truly historic—truly special—for this president to have designated Camp Hale-Continental Divide as America’s newest national monument and to make the decision to do it here, in this treasured landscape. Mr. President, we thank you. Eagle County you can do better than that! Let’s give another round of applause to the President of the United States. I could not be more thrilled to be here today, on this historic day. We know that it would not be possible were it not for the tireless advocacy of the veterans of the 10th Mountain Division—there are many of whom are here today. Their families, you heard the governor talk about one, in particular, a veteran who is no longer with us, Sandy Treat. I… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |

The letter, signed by over 30 lawmakers, requested that the President’s Budget Request for FY24 include $450 million in discretionary funding for LWCF, to complement the mandatory allocations provided by the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA). “As Chair of the National Parks, Forests and Public Lands Subcommittee, I am committed to promoting programs across this country that work to conserve our public lands and improve outdoor recreation opportunities for all Americans. The LWCF works in partnership with leaders from all levels of government to ensure that our treasured spaces are protected for generations to come. We must make sure that as they grow, our support for their initiatives grows with them,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. "The Land and Water Conservation Fund is America’s most important conservation program. It is vital for increasing recreation access in Oregon and across the country, which in turn supports rural economies and allows folks of all ages enjoy better access to public lands for recreation, hunting, fishing, biking, hiking, or paddling. I am all in to protect our landscapes and improve our recreational opportunities, and that means securing more LWCF funding,” said Senator Wyden. The lawmakers continued, writing: “We are writing to express our support for strengthening the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), our nation’s most important conservation and recreation program.

NATO Parliamentary Assembly members serve as an essential link between NATO and member nations across the Atlantic Alliance, facilitating open dialogue among members to influence critical decisions related to defense and diplomacy. Speaker Pelosi announced the appointment today during the House’s pro forma session. “I’ve spent my career safeguarding our country. We know America is stronger and safer when we build alliances in support of security, human rights, and democracy. I’m proud to be appointed by Speaker Pelosi to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly to represent America’s interests with the alliance,” said Congressman Crow. The NATO Parliamentary Assembly was created in 1955 to provide a unique, specialized forum for members of parliament to provide greater transparency of NATO policies and foster better understanding of the Alliance’s objectives and missions among legislators and citizens. The Assembly is a separate institution from NATO’s main political decision-making body of 30 governments. Since the Cold War, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly has assumed the role of integrating into its work parliamentarians from countries seeking a closer association with NATO. By strengthening parliamentary democracy throughout the Euro-Atlantic region and beyond, NATO Parliamentary Assembly complements and reinforces NATO’s partnership and cooperation. Crow has recently led efforts to strengthen ties with U.S. international allies, including introducing bipartisan legislation to improve the intelligence community’s ability to assess the will to fightof allies, allow U.S. contributions to NATO to be used for improving climate resilience of our NATO partners’ military installations, and to honor our promises to U.S. friends and partners in Afghanistan with the introduction of theAfghan Adjustment Ac… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |

The Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund (LATCF)—established as part of the American Rescue Plan—provides flexible support for eligible rural, mountain, and tribal communities to meet the needs of their jurisdiction. The Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund (LATCF) was created in the American Rescue Plan, providing additional support for counties participating in certain federal revenue-sharing programs related to federal land and taking into account economic conditions in those counties. In September, Representative Neguse and Senator Wyden introduced the Secure Rural and Tribal Lands Act. This bill directs the U.S. Department of Treasury to prioritize rural, mountain, and tribal communities when allocating these kinds of payments through the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund, consistent with the original intent of the program. “I am proud to see this significant amount of funding head to our rural, mountain, and tribal communities. Colorado counties can utilize these resources to fund local schools, improve road maintenance, and support emergency response operations. If you are eligible for these funds, please do not miss out on the deadline to submit requests,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. Eligible revenue-sharing counties must request funding by January 31, 2023, at 11:59 PM Alaska Standard Time (AKST). If an eligible revenue-sharing county does not complete its submission by that deadline, the county will not be eligible for either the first or second payment under the LATCF.

The stopgap government funding bill successfully extended the Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP) through 2025. “In voting to support the critical funding of government agencies, we were also able to make a tremendous step forward in our work to support recovering and rehabilitating veterans. Extending the deadline for the HVRP will support countless former servicemembers, and I am thrilled to see it enacted,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. While the Continuing Appropriations Resolution extends HVRP for another three years, the Neguse bill includes a desperately needed $25 million per year increase in programmatic funding, which Neguse continues to advocate for. The HVRP program administered by the Department of Labor is the only federal grant program that focuses exclusively on competitive employment for homeless veterans. The program's core objectives are to provide services to assist in reintegrating homeless veterans into meaningful employment and to stimulate the development of effective service delivery systems that will address problems facing homeless veterans.

Both programs provide assistance to Americans who meet the requirements for disability as well as those who are older, blind, or have little to no income. The lawmakers also requested information on how the Social Security Administration (SSA) is working to ensure agency materials are accessible for all individuals, regardless of their specific needs. “Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, the backlog of pending SSDI and SSI cases increased exponentially. Social Security employees worked tirelessly to adapt to a new environment, and more must be done to ensure access to these critical benefits,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. “The process for applying for Social Security disability benefits is difficult to navigate, and only worsened by inaccessible materials and chronic underfunding, despite the program’s growing needs. For vulnerable individuals who are unable to work and are applying for benefits to survive, delays and denials without proper recourse can be frustrating, and at worst, devastating. I recognize that SSA has been severely underfunded and I will continue to fight to increase the agency’s resources. That said, as a Ways and Means Social Security subcommittee member, I join Rep. Neguse in leading the call for improved services, so that both SSA beneficiaries and applicants have access to the timely and accessible information and the benefits they have earned and are owed,” said Congresswoman Moore.

The Merger Filing Fee Modernization Act would update merger filing fees for the first time since 2001, lower the burden on small and medium-sized businesses, and raise enough revenue so that taxpayer dollars aren’t required to fund necessary increases to agency enforcement budgets. To make certain this legislation is a permanent solution to the outdated fee structure and not a one-time fix, the filing fees will be linked to increases in the Producer Price Index going forward. The bill is also sponsored by Representative Ken Buck (R-CO) and is led by Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) in the U.S. Senate. “By strengthening antitrust enforcement and ensuring that corporate parties to larger mergers pay their fair share and consumers don’t have to foot the bill, Congress is preventing anti-competition tactics that harm American consumers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses. I am proud to see my colleagues take action to move our bipartisan bill forward and will continue to push for its passage in the Senate,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. Premerger filing fees have not changed since 2001, and the current fee structure places too heavy a burden on smaller deals and too small a fee on larger deals. The fee for a $900 million deal should not be the same as that for a $60 billion deal. And despite the massive increase in merger filings in the last five years and public calls for action to protect competition, funding for enforcement authorities has stagnated.

The legislation comes on the heels of an investigative hearing DeGette’s panel held earlier this year in response to reports that some Medicare Advantage beneficiaries faced significant barriers when trying to access the medical care they needed. The Medicare Advantage Consumer Protection and Transparency Act, co-led by U.S. Reps. Katie Porter (D-CA), Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), would better protect consumers by holding insurers that offer Medicare Advantage plans more accountable for the coverage they provide. It would also increase transparency of such plans so beneficiaries know exactly which services they offer. “As more Americans enroll in Medicare Advantage plans, we need to make sure these plans are working for them,” DeGette said. “By improving transparency, this legislation will make it easier for consumers to choose the plan that’s right for them. It will also hold insurers more accountable to ensure our seniors are receiving the coverage they deserve.” The legislation will require insurers to provide consumers with clearer and more accurate descriptions of the services they offer. It will also improve data collection related to each insurers’ coverage – including their claims and denials – and require that insurers make that information available to the public. “Insurers that provide older adults with subpar care should be held accountable—and we need to have the data to do it,” said Porter. “The current system we have allows Medicare Advantage plans to escape scrutiny, depriving older Americans of the care they need and cheating taxpayers out of what we all pay for.

Washington, D.C. — Today, Congressman Joe Neguse, Co-Chair of the Bipartisan Wildfire Caucus, applauded the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs for passing the Senate companion, the Fire Suppression Improvement Act, to his bill, the Wildfire Recovery Act. The bill, which is led by Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA), increases flexibility in the federal cost share for Fire Management Assistance Grants (FMAG) to better support local communities. The widely favored bill passed through the Senate Committee with unanimous consent. On September 13, 2022, the House of Representatives passed the Wildfire Recovery Act for the first time as a stand-alone bill and the second time overall. It first passed as part of the landmark Wildfire Response and Drought Resiliency Act in late July. “As representatives from Western communities, Senator Padilla and I have seen firsthand the historic wildfires that have devastated communities across our respective states. We must continue to assist our threatened towns and communities in as many ways as possible, and I am grateful to Senator Padilla for his leadership on this important legislation in the Senate,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. “The threat from wildfires is constant and increasingly devastating in California and states across the Western United States,” said Senator Padilla. “As we face a dangerous year-round fire season under record breaking drought conditions, it’s more important than ever to ensure our state and local leaders have the resources they need to protect communities. I’m glad to see momentum behind this vital legislation building in the Senate and I will continue advocating for its passage until it reaches the President’s desk.” The Wildfire Recovery Act would increase flexibility in the federal cost share for Fire Management Assistance Grants (FMAG) to bring in additional resources for communities as they rebuild from… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), chair of the House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations panel, along with Reps. Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and Bobby L. Rush (D-IL), sent a letter Tuesday to the head of LUMA Energy, the company responsible for operating Puerto Rico’s power grid, to express their deep concern over the island’s ongoing power outages and demanded to know what’s being done to restore power there immediately. In writing to LUMA Energy President and CEO Wayne Stensby, the lawmakers said they wanted to know, among other things, “why the company had not adequately prepared the island’s energy infrastructure to withstand a Category One hurricane.” They also pointed out that their concerns with the company’s ability to develop and maintain the island’s power grid started well before Hurricane Fiona hit and that the ongoing outages only “amplify concerns” that LUMA has failed to adequately maintain the island’s electrical infrastructure. Despite being “richly compensated,” the lawmakers noted, the company – which became Puerto Rico’s sole supplier of electricity in June 2021 – has failed to provide Puerto Ricans with the reliable and affordable energy they deserve. “Since LUMA assumed control of the grid in 2021, Puerto Ricans have reported recurring power surges that have interfered with critical medical care, disrupted access to education, and destroyed property,” the lawmakers wrote. “The collapse of the electric grid in the aftermath of Hurricane Fiona is just the latest example of such failures.” The lawmakers demanded that company officials provide the committee answers to a series of questions regarding the steps LUMA has taken to improve and protect Puerto Rico’s power grid since taking control, including: How much funding LUMA has received through its contract with the Puerto Rico El… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

Their bill allows for unspent COVID-19 funding to go toward fentanyl education and prevention efforts in K-12 schools. This funding was allocated to the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund as part of three COVID-19 relief packages passed this Congress. The lawmakers introduced this bill after hearing concerns from school and public health officials surrounding the uptick in fentanyl-related overdoses this past year. According to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) during the 2021 to 2022 school year, *31 kids aged 10-18 died as a result of fentanyl. “Throughout Colorado, fentanyl-related overdoses have increased exponentially, and the impact this crisis has had on families across our state is truly devastating. The Protecting Kids from Fentanyl Act is a bipartisan solution that will empower our K-12 schools to tackle this emergency. Everyone – especially our children – deserve to live in a safe community, and this bill helps achieve that goal,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. “The fact that children are dying from fentanyl overdoses in schools around the country is absolutely unacceptable,” said Congressman Doug Lamborn. “While overdoses due to fentanyl are becoming more common among our youth, research shows that the availability of naloxone, along with overdose education, is effective at saving lives. This legislation will ensure that schools have the prevention tools and education necessary to protect our most vulnerable population from the growing fentanyl epidemic. I am glad to sponsor this critical legislation and thank my colleagues in Congress, including fellow Coloradan Joe Neguse, for making this a bipartisan effort.” “Losing my two sons, Andrew, and Stephen, together in one night was the shock of my life,” said Matt Riviere. “I did not know what fentanyl was until this terrible drug forever altered my life.

Funding will go toward fuels management projects currently taking place on nearly 5,395 acres of federal lands across the state. Funds are being directed from the larger, $103 million investment announced by the Department of the Interior earlier this year. This additional funding will help complete fuels treatments on nearly 2 million acres nationwide this fiscal year, a substantial increase in comparison to prior years. The acreage includes 22 projects across 16 counties including; Dolores, Eagle, Grand, Gunnison, Kiowa, La Plata, Larimer, Mesa, Moffat, Montezuma, Montrose, Otero, Ouray, Rio Blanco, Routt, and San Miguel. “The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continues to deliver for the people of Colorado and for our communities impacted by the recent surge of wildfires across the West. This significant increase in funding will protect the families, businesses, and communities most threatened by these disasters and I could not be more grateful to see such widespread support for these vital programs,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding continues to come Colorado’s way,” said Bennet. “As climate change fuels drought and more severe wildfire seasons, these funds will go a long way to protect Colorado’s communities, forests and watersheds.” “As climate change drives harsher heat waves, more volatile weather, and record drought conditions, we are seeing wildfire seasons turn to wildfire years, threatening communities, businesses, wildlife and the environment,” said Deputy Secretary Tommy Beaudreau.“Through President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we are investing in Colorado communities, advancing wildfire resilience work across the country, improving resources for the heroic firefighting workforce, and reducin… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

The package included two bills Crow co-sponsored: the Break the Cycle of Violence Act and the Mental Health Justice Act. The package that was passed today includes evidence-based community violence intervention and prevention programs designed to interrupt cycles of violence and retaliation. “This package of evidence-based programs will help fight crime and gun violence, while fostering trust between our community and law enforcement. I’m proud this legislation includes two bills I’ve led on: the Break the Cycle of Violence Act and the Mental Health Justice Act, which are critical to achieving these goals,” said Congressman Crow. “Together, we will end the cycle of violence and save lives while we advance justice in our community.” This country is in the midst of a community violence epidemic that poses a significant threat to public health, safety, and community infrastructure. From 2010-2019, over 175,000 people were murdered in the United States, which in 2020 suffered its largest single-year spike in homicides on record, driven largely by record increases in fatal shootings. This violence is cyclical: up to 45 percent of people treated for gunshot injuries were violently reinjured within 5 years, and victims of violence are at increased risk of retaliating and becoming perpetrators of violence. On top of its unimaginable human toll, community violence imposes enormous fiscal costs. On average, a single gun homicide generates $448,000 in medical care and criminal justice expenses that are paid by taxpayers. In all, gun violence costs the U.S. $280 billion per year. Studies have shown that in communities such as St. Louis, Newark, Omaha, and Salinas, community violence intervention programs have dramatically reduced the rates of homicides and gun violence.

For communities across the West, we know exactly how important this is after experiencing record-breaking wildfires and historic drought conditions. The programs we are advocating for will provide security for the nearly 40 million people dependent on the Colorado river basin for water resources – and it is urgent we get this done,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. “The BOR needs to direct resources towards permanent solutions on the River. In the middle of a 22-year drought with a hotter, drier future on the horizon, it is imperative for the BOR to focus efforts on a long-term strategy that includes funding opportunities for projects on both a temporary and long-term timeline. However, no matter the timeframe of a project, the BOR needs to fund efforts that provide real, meaningful long-term reductions in water use from the River,” wrote the lawmakers.

Jason Crow (CO-06) and John Katko (R-NY-24) today passed their bipartisan legislation to help eliminate barriers to employment facing immigrants and refugees across the country through the House of Representatives. The Bridging the Gap for New Americans Act passed the Senate earlier this summer, and will now head to President Biden’s desk for signature. Click here to download the full video of Rep. Crow’s floor speech For many reasons, including language barriers, credential recognition difficulties, and lack of professional networks and assistance, foreign-educated immigrants and refugees with professional degrees are often unemployed or underemployed. This is commonly referred to as “brain waste,” and can cost states like Colorado billions of dollars per year in lost individual earnings and tax revenue. The legislation takes the first step to address the problem by directing the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to conduct an interagency study on factors that impact U.S. employment opportunities for immigrants and refugees with professional credentials from other countries. “I represent the most diverse district in Colorado and we know that diversity is our strength. Many of our immigrant and refugee neighbors have skills and professional credentials they can’t use because of regulatory hurdles. These hurdles– whether language barriers, difficulty in recognizing credentials, or a lack of professional networks – prevent many from making a good living for their families, contributing fully to our economy, and reaching their full potential,” Congressman Crow said today during a floor speech. “The unemployment and underemployment of these folks is a missed opportunity for our country, and I thank Senator Klobuchar and Congressman Katko for their diligence as we worked together in this effort,'' he continued. In 2016, researchers at the Migration Policy Institute found that nearly 2 million immigrants with college degrees in the U.S. were relegated to low-wage jobs or were unable to find work.

Jason Crow (CO-06), former Army Ranger and member of the House Armed Services Committee, today was joined by Rep. Jackie Speier (CA-14), Task Force Chair of the Pro-Choice Caucus, in introducing a bill to codify and expand access to abortion care for US servicemembers. This effort would expand on existing Army and Air Force policy that requires commanders to approve leave for abortion care automatically and guarantees privacy protections for servicemembers seeking abortions. The Access to Reproductive Care for Servicemembers Act comes after the Supreme Court’s recent opinion overturning the federal right to access abortion in the United States. According to a recent RAND study, 40 percent of women per year working for the Defense Department are now expected to face challenges when seeking abortions under new state laws. “A woman’s choice to have an abortion should remain between her and her doctor – including for our servicemembers. Ensuring our troops have access to safe and reliable abortion care is both a matter of principle and troop readiness,” said Rep. Crow. “During my time in the Army, I served alongside talented and brave servicewomen. Their service was – and is – a huge part of what makes our military the greatest fighting force in the world. That’s why I’m proud to lead this effort with my colleague, Rep. Speier to codify critical protections for American women.” “Abortion access should be a right, not a privilege. Yet a recent study estimated that 40 percent of servicemembers will have no or severely restricted access to abortion services where they are stationed – something they have no control over. The fallout of being denied care will be catastrophic, as is the threat to our military readiness, recruitment, morale, and unit cohesion,” said Rep. Speier, Chair of the House Armed Services Military Personnel Subcommittee. “For servicemembers who must travel for an abortion, the expected cost is $1,100 or more, which is almost half of the monthly pay for a typical junior enlisted s… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

Ninety percent of the Western United States is experiencing drought conditions, and in 2021 record high temperatures were recorded in California, Nevada, and Colorado—NOAA and NASA even named 2021 the sixth-hottest year on record for the entire planet. Rising temperatures contribute to significant declines in river flows and water availability, leading to drier soils and landscapes, and increasing the likelihood of destructive wildfires. This includes the potential for post-fire hazards impacting reliable water access—particularly in rural areas serving disadvantaged communities and Tribes [...] The IIJA investments recognize the importance of integrated strategies to reduce wildfire risk and improve ecosystem services. Similarly, efforts to improve forest health through watershed restoration projects can improve the climate resilience of nature-based infrastructure including our source watersheds.” wrote Congressman Neguse and the lawmakers.

Projects will be part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service’s new Collaborative Aquatic Landscape Restoration Program and the existing Legacy Roads and Trails Program. “Time and time again we are seeing the historic impacts of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law on Colorado‘s rural and mountain communities. This announcement is truly significant for our state, addressing the critical needs of our forests and public lands and helping to support our mountain towns. From bolstering wildfire mitigation and prevention to watershed protection. I am thrilled to see these resources directed to Colorado’s national forests,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. "The future of Colorado relies on keeping our watersheds, forests, and public lands healthy," Bennet said. "These projects – funded by the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law – will help grow our outdoor recreation economy and protect the Colorado we call home for the next generation.” Colorado landscapes receiving funding include the Pike-San Isabel National Forest, Cimmaron and Comanche National Grassland, Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forests, Pike and San Isabel National Forests, San Juan National Forest, White River National Forest, Black Hills National Forest, Bighorn National Forest, Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, and the Shoshone National Forest.

The Secure Rural and Tribal Lands Act clarifies that the $2 billion appropriated to the U.S. Department of Treasury through the ARP for Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023 are intended for communities with federal lands. “The historic enactment of the American Rescue Plan promised critical assistance to rural communities across this country, and our bill – the Secure Rural and Tribal Lands Act – ensures that the folks in our country’s rural areas are receiving proper consideration throughout the allocation of these funds. Coloradans in our rural and mountain communities utilize these resources to fund local schools, improve road maintenance, and support emergency response operations — and these allotments make all the difference,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. "I fought hard to establish this fund in the American Rescue Plan to help ease the financial burden faced by many rural communities and Tribes in my state and across America," Wyden said. "Our bill ensures this economic lifeline will be delivered for Oregonians counting on quality schools, dependable roads, and other essential services." The bill prioritizes funding to communities that are recipients of Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) and Secure Rural Schools (SRS) funds. The PILT program provides federal payments to local governments to help offset losses in property taxes due to the existence of nontaxable Federal lands within their boundaries. And the Secure Rural Schools Program (SRS)—which is most often utilized to support rural schools, emergency response, and road maintenance—reimburses counties for emergency services in national forests and is instrumental in the development of community wildfire protection plans.

However, implementing a costly apprenticeship program can be daunting for small firms with tight margins,” said Chairman Crow. “Expanding youth apprenticeships and other types of Career and Technical education can provide young people with a comparable alternative to a 4-year university education while bolstering the small business labor force.” “There should be equal dignity in any path you choose that puts a roof over your head, a car in your garage, and opportunity for your children,” said Noel Ginsburg, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of CareerWise in Denver, CO. “When we talk about the future, it’s not just one pathway to opportunity in this country anymore.” See full video of the hearing here. See a full transcript from Mr. Ginsburg’s testimony here. In the CareerWise modern youth apprentice program, apprentices split their time between their traditional high school classroom and the workplace.

The bill would improve information sharing efforts for missing persons on Federal lands by making a series of improvements to the existing National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) database, including requiring the Department of Justice (DOJ) to include additional categories to record cases in which the person went missing on federal lands, such as descriptions of search efforts, cause of death (if remains are found), ongoing search efforts, descriptions of any belongings found, and location details. Some estimates suggest that at least 1,600 people have gone missing on public lands, however without more accurate public data, that number is likely higher. Increasing tracking of accurate data on how many people go missing on public lands every year is crucial to aiding search and rescue efforts and resolving cases. “As the Representative for a district that is over fifty percent public lands, and Chair of the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands, I firmly believe we must do more to protect every hiker, backpacker, explorer, and tourist that comes to our national parks for enjoyment and recreation. This bill provides a much needed update to the existing missing persons database, increasing protections for Americans and ensuring that should tragedy strike – and an individual was to go missing – there are processes in place to properly aid in their search and rescue efforts,” said Congressman Neguse. “No missing persons case should go unsolved just because investigators couldn't easily access the information they need,” said Rep. Burchett. “Improving the way our agencies record and share case details could save lives, and would also help the public gain more insight into how these situations are handled.” … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

Jason Crow (D-CO-06) today was joined by Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA-01) to introduce a bill protecting Americans’ healthcare data from cyberattacks. The bipartisan Healthcare Cybersecurity Act comes as nearly 50 million people in the US had their sensitive health data breached in 2021, a threefold increase in just the last three years. Those breaches have resulted in a 16% increase in the average cost of recovering a patient record in 2020 compared to 2019. The bill has also been introduced in the US Senate by Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA). “Cyberattacks on our hospitals and health centers are becoming increasingly common and they are driving up our healthcare costs,” said Rep. Crow. “I’m proud to introduce the bipartisan Healthcare Cybersecurity Act with Rep. Fitzpatrick to protect the American people and their data from these malicious attacks.” “46 million Americans had their health data breached in 2021 as a result of a cyberattack," said Rep. Fitzpatrick. "The increasing number of attacks on our hospitals and health centers must be addressed. That is why I am proud to join my colleague Rep. Crow to introduce The Healthcare Cybersecurity Act of 2022 which will create new resources for cybersecurity risk training and promote strong cybersecurity measures across our Nation’s healthcare systems." “As hospitals and other healthcare organizations across the United States face an onslaught of cyberattacks, we must take proactive steps to enhance information sharing and improve cybersecurity in the healthcare and public health sector,” said Sen. Rosen. “That’s why I introduced the bipartisan Healthcare Cybersecurity Act in the Senate to strengthen cybersecurity protections and protect patient information, and I am glad to see it introduced on a bipartisan basis in the House of Representatives."

Washington, D.C. — Today, Congressman Joe Neguse and Congressman John Curtis (R-UT), Co-Chairs and Founders of the Bipartisan Wildfire Caucus, announced that the House of Representatives passed their legislation to help ensure impacted communities have the resources they need to recover from devastating wildfires. The bipartisan Wildfire Recovery Act would increase flexibility in the federal cost share for Fire Management Assistance Grants (FMAG) to bring in additional resources for communities as they rebuild from wildfire damage. The bill is sponsored by California Senator Alex Padilla in the U.S. Senate. “Coloradans have been impacted by multiple natural disasters in recent years, from the devastating wildfire season in 2020 to the record-breaking Marshall Fire just this past year. For them and for all the communities across this country impacted by wildfires, floods, and more, we must ensure full and adequate federal support for recovery,” said Congressman Joe Neguse. “The Wildfire Recovery Act helps to support state and local governments in cases of disaster, covering the costs of critical services needed for protection and recovery. The strong bipartisan support for this bill – demonstrated by the House vote today – gives me hope that Colorado families and communities will never again have to navigate recovery alone.” “I am proud of the progress we have made in the bipartisan Wildfire Caucus to pass legislation that will provide flexibility to FEMA and move recovery funds to assist as soon as possible after a fire. The Wildfire Recovery Act allows relief funds to flow more quickly to communities across the West and in Utah when they are most needed after a disaster.” said Congressman Curtis. “The threat from wildfires is constant and increasingly devastating in California and states across the Western United States,” said Senator Padilla. “As we face a dang… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

Funding will go toward improving the I-70 Mountain Corridor. The INFRA (Nationally Significant Multimodal Freight & Highway Projects) program awards grants for multimodal freight and highway projects that improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the movement of freight and people in and across rural and urban areas. “I-70 and our mountain transportation corridor is a critical part of Colorado infrastructure. This roadway is an economic driver and a gateway to recreation and tourism opportunities for our state, which is why this significant funding is such a game-changer. This $100 million investment will fund much-needed investments in the safety and reliability of the I-70 corridor, protecting Coloradans and visitors for generations to come,” said Congressman Neguse. More specifically, funding is set to improve eight miles of the I-70 Mountain Corridor – from west of Evergreen to eastern Idaho Springs – add a third westbound travel lane, construct a frontage road connection, add a new ramp from US 6 to eastbound I-70, and improve design speed and sight distance on horizontal curves. The project also improves the Clear Creek Greenway multimodal trail and implements environmental mitigation efforts, including installing wildlife crossings and fencing, and restoring nearby creek and riparian areas. It will also install electric vehicle infrastructure and shuttle parking to support transit operations in the corridor. Representative Neguse has been instrumental in securing funding for Colorado’s transportation infrastructure. In June of 2020, Rep. Neguse secured $60,700,000 for Vail Pass improvements on I-70 after writing to the Secretary of Transportation requesting the funds.

Jason Crow and Coloradans from across the state to discuss the historic passage of the Inflation Reduction Act during a press call with Protect Our Care. Colorado seniors and working families in the 2nd Congressional District will soon see more affordable prescription drugs for Medicare recipients and lower health insurance premiums made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act. “With the Inflation Reduction Act now the law of the land, we have taken bold, necessary steps to rein in out-of-control health care costs and lower prescription drug prices for America’s seniors,” said Rep. Neguse. “I have long been an advocate for reforming our health care system, and believe this bill is a significant step forward in making our health care system more accessible and affordable for Coloradans across our state.” Affordable Health Care By extending critical tax credits set to expire this year, the Inflation Reduction Act will help 33,000 people in the district currently enrolled in subsidized marketplace health insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act save an average of $1,360 in premiums starting next year. Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, a family in the district with two adults, two children, and a household income of $75,000 could save $2,832 on their premiums next year. A single-parent household with one adult, one child, and a household income of $30,000 could save $1,260 on their premiums next year. A household of two adults over the age of 60 with a joint income of $70,000 could save $13,668 on their premiums next year. Lower Prescription Drug Costs The Inflation Reduction Act caps Medicare beneficiaries’ annual out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs covered by Medicare Part D at $2,000 per year starting in 2025.

Disasters can strike anywhere, and National Preparedness Month raises awareness of the importance of preparing for the types of natural and manmade disasters that could affect American families at any time, sometimes with little notice. “From the Cameron Peak, East Troublesome, and Marshall Fires to the historic floods in 2013, communities in Colorado’s 2nd District have unfortunately been an epicenter for disasters and emergencies. For the safety of our families and communities, it is imperative that we act decisively to prepare for any future threats. I am proud to partner with FEMA in honoring September as this year’s National Preparedness Month. Through increased investments in community programming and the expansion of educational and social resources, we can better equip Americans to reduce the threats of these disasters. Being prepared reduces fear and promotes safer roadways to recovery,” said Congressman Joe Neguse, National Preparedness Month Congressional Co-Chair. In collaboration with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Congressional Co-Chairs are encouraging families to take time this month to increase their level of emergency preparedness.

Peter Meijer (R-MI) to introduce the Will to Fight Act of 2022, a bill to strengthen how the intelligence community (IC) analyzes the national and military will to fight of foreign countries and militaries. This bill focuses on the governments and armed forces of Ukraine in 2022, Afghanistan in 2021, and Iraq in 2014, and each country’s will to fight at each specific juncture. The review of these cases will include an examination of previous procedures and a determination of lessons learned, which will allow the IC to better provide early warnings and better inform policy decisions. This bill was recently included in the FY23 Intelligence Authorization Act, which unanimously passed out of committee. “As an Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan, I learned that America is most safe and secure when we work with our partners and allies and those relationships are essential for our mission success,” said Rep. Crow. “But investments in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places have shown that we must do a better job assessing the capabilities and resolve of some of our partner forces. I’m proud to work with Rep. Meijer to better equip our intelligence agencies with the tools needed to more effectively assess the capabilities and will to fight of our partners and international forces.” “Our intelligence community is a critical asset for the United States government in our mission to protect Americans, secure the homeland from threats, and conduct a foreign policy that advances US interests,” said Rep. Meijer. “Twice in the last year, however, policymakers in Washington have been caught unprepared when predicted outcomes in Afghanistan and Ukraine differed dramatically from realities on the ground. The will to fight and commitment to a cause are some of the intangibles that can ultimately decide the outcomes of war.

I’m thinking today of the men and women who served alongside me during my combat tours, especially those who didn’t make it home. America is grateful for your service and owe our fallen a debt of gratitude we will never be able to repay. Regardless of the outcome of the war, the servicemen and women who answered our nation’s call should be proud of their service. We will honor them by providing the care and benefits they and their families earned and by remaining vigilant to the threats we face from the region.” Crow is a fierce advocate for the men and women of our military, having served as a veterans advocate before being elected to Congress, and now continuing that work on the House Armed Services Committee. When President Biden announced last year that the United States would withdraw from Afghanistan, Crow began working tirelessly to honor our promises to US friends and partners in Afghanistan. He continues that work, most recently joining colleagues to introduce the Afghan Adjustment Act, bipartisan, bicameral legislation that will expand the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program and provide a pathway to permanent legal status for Afghan families who were evacuated to the United States. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |

Following the Department of Defense’s release of its Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response Action Plan (CHMR-AP), the Members announced the creation of the Protection of Civilians in Conflict Caucus, which seeks to remedy the current trend of civilian harm treated as an “unavoidable” consequence of conflict and the growing number of internally displaced people, refugees, and wounded or killed civilians. “The U.S. must set the standard for protecting civilians during conflict, and that standard must be higher. As an Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan I learned that civilian casualties are not an unavoidable cost of war and protecting innocents goes hand in hand with mission success,” Rep. Jason Crow said. “The first step is increasing transparency and accountability within DOD so we can do better. I’m proud to lead this effort with my colleagues on the Protection of Civilians in Conflict Caucus.” “Civilian harm never has been and never will be an acceptable cost of war,” said Congresswoman Sara Jacobs. “Military operations that displace, kill, and otherwise harm civilians leave a moral stain on our conscience and give our adversaries a powerful recruiting tool. The CHMR-AP lays the groundwork for ambitious reform at the Department of Defense and I thank Secretary Austin for his leadership.

Since this metadata refers to information about the communication rather than the content of a message or call, it is generally viewed as less sensitive and has led to widespread bulk collection by companies with relatively less scrutiny. However, as more states enact laws to criminalize abortion care, lawmakers are concerned that the metadata collected by these companies could pose harm for some users. “Phone call and messaging metadata analysis could reveal a user’s plans to obtain information about and seek abortion care by analyzing the timing, duration, and frequency of calls to abortion providers,” the lawmakers wrote. “In a post-Roe world, phone call and messaging metadata could be used as evidence to establish probable cause that someone has sought an abortion.” The letters, sent yesterday, were addressed to leaders at Messenger, WhatsApp, Apple, Google, Verizon, and AT&T. The lawmakers demanded answers to the following questions by September 12: Do you collect metadata about calls made or messages sent from an individual’s device? If so, how is that metadata used, how long is it stored for, and who has access to it? What kinds of controls do users have to view and delete their existing metadata? Can users opt out of future metadata storage? Can users restrict third party access to their metadata? How accessible are these controls? W… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |

Neguse during the 2021 House appropriations process. Lafayette, CO — Today, Congressman Joe Neguse announced $34,765,737 in funding for the Summit Stage, a rural transit agency in Summit, Park, and Lake counties. Funds have been allocated by the State of Colorado Department of Transportation through the Low or No Emission (Low-No) Grant Program and the Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Program, which received funding as part of the Fiscal Year 2022 (FY 22) budget. This is an important investment in clean energy transportation – the funding will be used to construct a new charging and operations bus facility, expand fleet storage, and build electric vehicle charging, which will expand green infrastructure across Colorado’s mountain communities. In April of last year, as the federal government was crafting the FY22 budget, Representative Neguse led a letter to Appropriators in Congress iterating this request, read the letter here. “Across the 2nd district, and throughout Colorado’s mountain communities, many of our cities and counties are setting ambitious local renewable energy goals. The Low or No Emission grant program, and others like it, will ensure our communities are equipped to meet their goals while making strides to combat the most existential threat of our time: climate change,” said Congressman Neguse. “This funding will invest in the local economies and connectivity of Summit, Park, and Lake counties, bettering the lives of the families who are lucky to call these mountain communities home.” Since its inception, the Low-No program has provided critical funding for state, local, and tribal governments in their efforts to expand low-emission bus transit systems. The program serves to both promote mobility, modernize infrastructure, and address climate change. The Low-No emission grant program has brought millions of dollars to cities throughout Colorado’s Second Congressional District.

The pair were joined by Governor Polis and Colorado Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper. Camp Hale was a center of mountain and winter warfare training during World War II. Now the camp features beautiful views and supports the local outdoor recreation economy through the plentiful opportunities it offers for hiking, fishing, and more. During the visit, lawmakers highlighted the importance of conserving and protecting public lands like Camp Hale for future generations. “I appreciated the opportunity to show Secretary Vilsack such a storied part of Colorado history at Camp Hale and thank our nation’s veterans, including those from the 10th Mountain Division. From its role during World War II to the role the landscape played in developing our state’s outdoor recreation industry, Camp Hale holds an incredibly special place in the hearts of all Coloradans,” said Congressman Neguse. “When I was first sworn into Congress, I had the opportunity to tour these grounds with a WWII veteran who once trained at Camp Hale, Sanford Morris ‘Sandy’ Treat Jr. Sandy spent much of our trip speaking of his passion for preserving Camp Hale for future generations – a vision that I share. Ensuring that future Coloradans inherit our treasured public lands is why I’m proud to lead the CORE Act in the United States Congress —a bill that includes a first-of-its-kind designation for Camp Hale as a National Historic Landscape —to make certain that these lands remain a part of Colorado’s great outdoors.” As Chair of the National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands Subcommittee and proud advocate for the preservation of public lands, Representative Neguse is proud to have secured passage of the Colorado Outdoor and Recreation Economy (CORE) Act through the House of Representatives five times since being sworn into Cong… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |

This is a bipartisan, bicameral bill that builds on Crow’s ALLIES and HOPE Acts by expanding the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program and establishes a legal adjustment process for tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees currently in the United States after being relocated from Afghanistan since the US withdrawal. After completing additional vetting required during the application process, this adjustment of status would provide eligible Afghans in need of protection with stability as they continue to rebuild their lives in the United States. A Senate companion bill was introduced by Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Chris Coons (D-DE), Roy Blunt (R-MO), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). “In Iraq and Afghanistan, I worked closely with local translators and contractors who were critical to our safety and the success of our mission. For over a year, I’ve been proud to lead efforts to honor our promises and protect Afghan partners who aided the US mission and other at-risk Afghans. The Afghan Adjustment Act is an important next step to get vulnerable Afghan families to safety and ensure they can lead productive lives here in the United States,” said Rep. Jason Crow. Currently, Afghans who were admitted to the United States under temporary humanitarian parole can only pursue permanent legal status through the asylum system or, for those who are eligible, the Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program.

With the current IRS backlog, Crow's office has encountered increasing difficulty getting answers for constituents. In a letter to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig, Crow requests improvements to the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) so his office can better attend to his constituents’ tax issues, and do so in a timely manner. “The TAS has helped constituents in dire financial straits who could not afford a delay in their tax refund, as well as those at risk of losing their home or their business. The work that the TAS does in answering congressional inquiries is invaluable,” wrote Congressman Crow. “As my office continues to help constituents process their returns, my team has heard concerns about the TAS’s delays and outdated communications tools. The majority of the constituents my office helps have turned to my office as a last resort after waiting months or years for IRS assistance.

Diana DeGette (D-CO) that would require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to identify and clean up 100 of the most heavily polluted communities in the country. The measure, which aims to deliver environmental justice in some of the nation's most polluted communities, would require EPA to identify 100 low-income or predominantly minority communities that are suffering from an unusually high number of environmental-law violations. Once identified, the legislation would require that the agency then work directly with state and local officials to address the root causes of those violations and reduce pollution in those areas. "Our nation's environmental laws were put in place to protect everyone equally," DeGette said. "Unfortunately, when those laws are broken, skirted or ignored, it is often the most vulnerable among us that pay the price. We're not going to sit back and allow these communities to continue to bear the brunt of this crisis. The federal government has a responsibility to protect all of its citizens, and we're going to ensure that everyone is getting the environmental protection they deserve. Data shows that when environmental laws are not properly enforced it is often minority, low-income or otherwise disenfranchised communities that are hit hardest. While the federal government sets the nation's environmental standards, it is often up to each state's environmental agency to enforce them. In addition to requiring that the EPA step in to help clean up some of the nation's most heavily polluted communities, the legislation also specifically requires that the agency take into consideration – and address – the cumulative negative health effects that can be caused by multiple sources of nearby pollution – such as in Elyria-Swansea and Globeville, two north-Denver neighborhoods that are located in close proximity to a busy railyard, multiple major highways and several major industrial f… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |

The legislation – known as the Assault Weapons Ban of 2022 – includes, among other things, a provision originally introduced by U.S. Reps. Diana DeGette (D-CO) and Ted Deutch (D-FL) to ban the sale, transfer or possession of high-capacity gun magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition. "There is no legitimate reason why any civilian in this country needs an AR-15-style assault weapon or a high-capacity magazine," DeGette said. "Experts agree that reinstating a nationwide ban on high-capacity gun magazines is one of the most effective things we can do to better protect our communities, and that's why getting this legislation approved has been one of our top priorities." While no two mass shootings are the same, the use of high-capacity gun magazines has become a staple of some of the nation's deadliest events. High-capacity magazines capable of holding 30, 60 or even 100 rounds of ammunition allow a gunman to fire dozens of rounds before having to stop and reload, enabling them to kill more people in less time. In 2019, for example, a gunman in Dayton, Ohio used a high-capacity magazine capable of holding up to 100 rounds of ammunition to fire 41 rounds – and kill nine people – in just 32 seconds. In 2012, a gunman in Aurora, Colorado armed with a drum magazine capable of holding up to 100 rounds opened fire in a crowded movie theater killing 12 people and injuring 58 more. The gunman who killed 20 children and six teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012 was armed with high-capacity magazines capable of holding 30 rounds each; as was the shooter who killed 49 people at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida in 2016; and the gunman who killed 17 students and injured 17 more at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida two years later.

Today, the House has taken a significant step forward in our work to recover from these devastating disasters and better prepare for both wildfires and drought in the future by passing the Wildfire Response and Drought Resiliency Act. For the families across the country who’ve lost their homes due to wildfires, and for the neighborhoods impacted by drought, this legislation provides an all-hands-on-deck approach to recovery, creating and funding several programs that support rebuilding and bolster resiliency.” said Congressman Neguse. “Notably, we’ve also secured the passage of several measures that will make drastic improvements to firefighter pay and improve retention rates for the brave firefighters who sacrifice so much to protect our communities. Together, we are working to take every precaution necessary to reduce the threat of any future disaster.” The Wildfire Response and Drought Resiliency Act advanced several Neguse-led legislative priorities, including: The Wildfire Recovery Act increases flexibility in the federal cost share for Fire Management Assistance Grants (FMAG) and brings in additional resources for communities as they rebuild from wildfire damage.

The bill, which Neguse is a cosponsor of, prohibits the sale, transfer, manufacture, and importation of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, like those used in countless mass shootings across America, including those in Boulder, Aurora, Buffalo, Uvalde, and Highland Park. On July 20th, the 10-year anniversary of the tragic mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, Neguse spoke in favor of the legislation during a House Judiciary Committee markup, you can watch his remarks here. “In 1994, lawmakers – from both sides of the aisle – came together to enact the same piece of legislation we passed today. They did so in the best interest of the common good and to protect our communities. Since the Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired in 2004, the scourge of gun violence has only grown more pervasive across our country.” said Congressman Neguse. “I was honored to vote yes on this live-saving measure and will continue to do everything I can to ensure that in Washington we are putting Americans’ safety above all else.” Neguse has been a staunch advocate for the federal assault weapons ban. Following a mass shooting at a grocery store in his district – on March 22, 202 – Neguse penned a letter to President Biden requesting he issue an executive order banning the importation of assault weapons.

Washington, D.C. — Yesterday, Congressman Joe Neguse voted to pass H.R. 4346, the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) and Science Act. The bill is a bold, bipartisan legislative package that focuses on strengthening our economic and national security, sparking semiconductor innovation and manufacturing, removing roadblocks to attract scientific investment across America, and boosting resilience in U.S. supply chains. Only twelve percent of semiconductor chips are manufactured domestically, a substantial decline from the thirty-seven percent rate in the 1990s. The CHIPS Act will return the U.S. to its status as a world leader in the semiconductor industry and invest in onshore economic and national security systems. “With the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act, we will ensure that America remains the global leader in science and innovation while lowering prices and strengthening our competitiveness,” said Congressman Neguse. “At home in Colorado, the CHIPS and Science Act will create good, well-paying jobs – bolstering our growing manufacturing sector and supporting small businesses across our district. This legislation will also propel solutions for the climate crisis – providing vital funding for key research institutions.” The CHIPS Act includes more than $52 billion for the CHIPS for America Fund to support manufacturers in building, modernizing, and expanding domestic facilities and equipment for semiconductor fabrication, assembly, testing, advanced packaging, research, and development. It also provides $2 billion for legacy semiconductors, $2 billion for the CHIPS for America’s Defense Fund to be used for microelectronic research and development at the Defense Department, and $500 million for the CHIPS for America International Technology Security and Innovation Fund.

The monumental legislative package – up for consideration this week – would increase investments for tackling wildfires, resiliency efforts, and mitigation projects for communities impacted by recent climate-induced disasters.

As the impacts of climate change worsen, climate-induced natural disasters are becoming increasingly devastating for communities across America. For lawmakers in Washington, one thing is clear — the scale of this crisis requires an urgency that matches the severity of its consequences. “The Wildfire Response and Drought Resiliency Act is a carefully crafted bill — that includes proposals from nearly fifty stand-alone pieces of legislation championed by some of the lawmakers here today. Across America the impacts of climate change continue to worsen, and in this new normal historic droughts and record setting wildfires have become all too common.

Congressman Joe Neguse joined the County in prioritizing disaster recovery efforts as he opened House floor rule debate yesterday on his Wildfire Response and Drought Resiliency Act, H.R. 5118. The bill, led by Neguse, encompasses over fifty proposals to enact investments for tackling wildfires and drought, investments in resiliency, and supporting mitigation efforts to communities affected by recent climate-induced disasters. Currently, the House plans to secure the final passage of this bill on Thursday evening. Much as the recovery navigators will assist residents through a range of services, the Wildfire Response and Drought Resiliency Act includes key provisions to help communities recover from natural disasters, including the REPLACE Act, which requires that certain critical document replacement fees be automatically waived for individuals that are affected by major disasters and where Individuals and Households Program (IHP) assistance has been granted for that disaster. The package also includes the Wildfire Recovery Act, which increases flexibility in the federal cost share for Fire Management Assistance Grants (FMAG) and brings in additional community resources as they rebuild from wildfire damage. “On December 30th of last year, the Marshall Fire swept through the City of Louisville, the Town of Superior, and unincorporated areas of Boulder County. All incredible communities that I have the privilege of representing here in the United States Congress. The fire destroyed and damaged more than 1,000 homes in a single night.

On a panel discussing emerging national security threats faced by the United States, among other issues, Crow pointed to climate crisis as the largest US national security threat. “Climate change is both a threat magnifier, and a threat multiplier. I have often said that I believe that the climate crisis is the largest national security threat we face. That’s not meant to discount the traditional threats by state and non-state actors, and technological threats. But if you look across the board as a magnifier and multiplier, the climate crisis is going to do that,” said Crow on the panel. “We need to get our arms around how this is changing our threats and how it will destabilize vast regions of the world – I don’t think we yet understand what we’re looking at in the next ten or fifteen years and what we need to prepare ourselves for,” Crow continued.

Crow, a decorated former Army Ranger who serves on the House Intelligence Committee and House Armed Services Committee, has been a congressional leader on the most pressing global issues since he’s been in office. The recent House-passed defense spending bill included twenty-three Crow led provisions, including efforts to address climate change and resiliency. This year’s Aspen Security Forum was the largest public gathering of Biden national security officials since the beginning of the Administration. The Aspen Security Forum, an annual three-and-a-half day conference in Aspen presented by the Aspen Strategy Group, has provided a non-partisan public venue for global leaders to discuss the key national security and foreign policy issues of the day for the past twelve years. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |

Last night, the House Judiciary Committee voted to advance Reps. Jason Crow (D-CO), Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Dwight Evans’ (D-PA) Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act, clearing the way for it to be scheduled for a vote on the House floor. Along with House Judiciary’s markup yesterday of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2021, this represents one of the most significant congressional acts in a decade on two of gun safety advocates’ top legislative priorities. “The gun violence epidemic is killing our kids and families. With other industries – like Big Pharma or Big Tobacco – the American people can hold bad actors accountable for negligent behavior by taking them to court, but PLCAA shields gun manufacturers and sellers from liability. This bill repealing PLCAA is another important step to finally loosen the grip the gun lobby has on our lives. I’m grateful to continue this long-overdue momentum as we build on the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act with additional commonsense reforms,” said Congressman Crow. “In 2020, for the first time ever, firearms were the leading cause of death for young people in America. Congress long ago gave the gun industry blanket immunity from any liability – even when their negligence resulted in death – leaving manufacturers and dealers with no incentive to adopt safe business practices and leaving victims and their families with no legal recourse,” said Congressman Schiff. “The gun lobby has enjoyed this unique status for nearly two decades, but now we have the opportunity to put an end to it. And we must seize it. I look forward to my bill, along with the Assault Weapons Banof … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |

Drier weather and consistent heat waves put increased pressure on our environment and I am committed to doing everything I can to mitigate the consequences of the climate crisis.” Specifically, the bill includes: $1 million for the NRCS Conservation Operations account to provide additional funding for soil, water, and conservation programs; And $2 million for the Bureau of Reclamation Water and Related Resources account, with the increased allocation intended for the WaterSMART program to support communities experiencing ongoing drought conditions. “Hunters, anglers, and other outdoor recreation enthusiasts would benefit from these important investments, and we thank Congressman Neguse for his leadership on behalf of conservation,” says Alex Funk, the Denver-based director of water resources and senior counsel to the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. “Increasing funding for WaterSMART grants will create conservation jobs and ensure that Westerners can enjoy our kayaks and driftboats on adequate river flows.

July 20th is the date of the horrific shooting which took place ten years ago today in Aurora, Colo. at a movie theater in which twelve lives were taken, seventy were wounded and hundreds suffered emotional trauma. The tragedy brought to light incredible heroism by the first responders and medical teams whose tireless efforts saved lives, those who carried the wounded to safety, and those who sacrificed themselves to save others – specifically Jonathan Blunk (26); John Larimer (27); Matt McQuinn (27); and Alex Teves (24) whose lives were taken while shielding others during the shooting. The resolution also seeks to recognize acts of bravery and courage demonstrated by individuals who have borne witness or been victim to countless other gun violence tragedies across the country, including the recent tragedies in Highland Park, IL, Uvalde, TX and Buffalo, NY. “Ten years ago, everyday heroes sacrificed to protect victims of the Aurora theater shooting. In difficult times, it’s often the first responders and plain-clothes heroes who come to our rescue. Today we thank them and honor their sacrifice on our behalf. In recognition of those heroes in our community and around the country, we mark July 20th as a day to honor the servant leadership of our fellow citizens,” said Rep. Crow. "As Fred Rogers famously said, ‘You will always find people who are helping.’ As our country grapples with incidents of violence, chaos and tragedy, we must also remember the helpers and the heroes among us who bring selflessness, courage and bravery in times of need,” said Rep.

The projects are designed to make more housing, food and other essential services available to those in need throughout the Mile High city. Among the projects that would be funded under the legislation is $4 million to help Warren Village build dozens of new apartments for single-parent families struggling to make ends meet and in need of a place to live; $1 million to help Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver build several new single-family homes in Villa Park; and $4 million to help Colorado Coalition for the Homeless purchase a hotel in North Denver and convert it into more housing for those who are experiencing homelessness. "No family should have to worry whether they'll be able to put food on their table or a roof over their heads at night," DeGette said. "Every one of these projects has the potential to provide a much-needed lifeline to someone in need. And for those struggling to make ends meet or desperately searching for an affordable place to live, the help these projects will provide can't come soon enough." In addition to securing more than $10 million to help those experiencing homelessness or food insecurity in the Denver area as part of this year's spending bill, DeGette also secured an additional $4 million for Denver's Regional Transportation District to increase safety for riders along its downtown corridor, and $2 million for Denver's Office of Climate Action Sustainability and Resilience to increase the energy efficiency of more than 100 affordable housing units throughout the Denver area. The legislation, which the House approved by a vote of 220 - 207, now heads to the Senate for its consideration.

Washington, D.C. — On the 10th anniversary of the Aurora, Colorado mass shooting, Congressman Joe Neguse, Vice-Chair of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, participated in a Judiciary Committee markup to advance two pivotal measures that tackle the gun violence epidemic in America. The Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act, H.R. 2814, and the Assault Weapons Ban of 2021, H.R. 1808, now go to the full House for consideration. Watch Neguse’s remarks here. “Today is a tough day for Colorado, because there are families in Colorado today mourning the loss of loved ones lost ten years ago at the Aurora movie theater shooting,” said Congressman Neguse.“And tragically, since that day, our country has endured the scourge of gun violence — day after day, month after month, year after year – including in Boulder, Colorado, my district, just a year ago. There was a time, in this country, when policymakers would come together – from both sides of the aisle – to try and do something for the common good and protect our communities. We did it in 1994. There were many Republicans who voted for the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban. It is time for us to do so again, and pass this bill [H.R. 1808], which we know will save lives.” Following the March 22nd mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado, last year, Neguse introduced and advocated for several measures to address gun violence, including leading a letter to President Biden requesting he issue an executive order banning the importation of assault weapons. Read Neguse’s letter to the administration here. Neguse is a cosponsor of both bills considered in today’s markup. The Assault Weapons Ban of 2021 would prohibit the sale, transfer, manufacture, and importation of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, like the weapons used in countless mass shootings across America – including Boulder, Aur… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |
| https://crow.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-jason-crow-co-sponsors-legislation-to-bring-down-costs-for-coloradans-stop-price-gouging | Congressman Jason Crow Co-Sponsors Legislation to Bring Down Costs for Coloradans & Stop Price Gouging | 2022-07-18 | 2022 | 2022-07 | Democrat | House | CO | Jason Crow | C001121 | crow.house.gov | crow | https://crow.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON – Congressman Jason Crow (CO-06) took a new step to lower costs for Colorado families, co-sponsoring legislation with Congressman Peter DeFazio (OR-04) to quickly deliver relief from inflation and high gas prices. The Stop Gas Price Gouging Tax and Rebate Act will hold big oil companies accountable for price gouging by levying a corporate windfall tax and return revenue back to consumers with a monthly tax rebate. “Hardworking Colorado families are getting crushed by the high cost of gas and groceries. I’m working every avenue to help,” said Congressman Jason Crow. “The Stop Gas Price Gouging Tax & Rebates Act will hold opportunistic companies accountable for price gouging and deliver direct relief into the pockets of those who need it most.” While Americans paid an average of 48.7% more for gas over the last year, top oil companies made a record $237 billion in profits in 2021 and the four largest Big Oil companies collectively made $27 billion in profits in just the first quarter of 2022. Seven major oil companiesare on track to deliver $38 billion in stock buybacks for shareholders this year. Congressman Crow hears every day from hardworking Coloradans who are struggling with high costs of everyday goods like gas and groceries. In his ongoing efforts to address supply chain issues he has voted to pass the America COMPETES Act, to lower costs he has voted for the Lower Food and Fuel Costs Act, and to stop opportunistic companies from price gouging, he has voted for the Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act. With working class families suffering in Colorado, Congressman Crow is looking for yet another avenue to deliver relief. His Stop Gas Price Gouging Tax and Rebate Act builds on these money-saving efforts by: Creating a one-time windfall profit tax on excessive corporate profits Big Oil will pay a one-time, 50 percent windfall profit tax on any adjusted taxable income (ATI) in 2022 that exceeds 110 percent of their average ATI during pre-pandemic levels between 2015-2019.

Neguse Introduces Amendment to Restrict Federal Wild Horse Roundups | 2022-07-18 | 2022 | 2022-07 | Democrat | House | CO | Joe Neguse | N000191 | neguse.house.gov | neguse | https://neguse.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. — Today, Congressman Joe Neguse, Chair of the House Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands, introduced an amendment to H.R. 8294, the Fiscal Year 2023 (FY 23) Appropriations Minibus, that would eliminate funding of roundups or gatherings of wild free-roaming horses and burros that use helicopters or fixed-wing air crafts. Neguse’s latest actions come the same month as the U.S. Bureau of Land Management intends to thin the Piceance East Douglas herd by 750 animals, despite objections from advocates, Colorado Governor, Jared Polis, and the Congressman himself. Read a June letter from Congressman Neguse requesting the agency delay and reevaluate Colorado’s next wild horse roundup here. “I am deeply concerned about BLM moving forward with these roundups. We must reevaluate and reconsider the methods in which we manage these herds, ensuring that we are doing so cost-effectively and humanely.” said Congressman Neguse.
