On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives that were lost. Our hearts are with their loved ones, whose lives were forever changed that day.
We honor the courageous first responders and everyday people who put their lives on the line to protect others.
One year ago, two high school students were severely injured and hundreds of lives were changed by the Evergreen School shooting.
We will not forget the lives forever altered will continue to fight for a better future, safer for Colorado students.
What happened in La Plata County should not happen anywhere.

“AI chatbots are being mistaken by patients as legitimate therapy, which is why we’re stepping up to ensure Coloradans are protected and informed,” said Rep. Gretchen Rydin.
"Without this law, there is no clinical standard for AI chatbots, which can ultimately harm patients’ access to high-quality healthcare. This law protects patients while still allowing providers to take advantage of AI tools for administrative tasks." - Rep. @javier_mabrey
