Legislation

As your representative in Washington, part of my job is to work for legislation that will benefit the individuals, families and businesses of Colorado's Sixth Congresssional District. I've written and introduced many bills myself. I've also co-sponsored legislation by working side by side with my colleagues in Congress who share our concerns.

One of my priorities in Congress is to maintain Colorado’s unique quality of life - that’s why I am excited to serve on the House Resources Committee, which oversees a myriad of environmental and recreational programs. This year I will work to ensure that our state and national parks are well maintained in order to support the ever growing number of outdoor enthusiasts in Colorado.
