WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) today unveiled a new interactive Congressional website – http://degette.house.gov – to reflect the innovation of Colorado and the Denver-metro region. The website was developed as a service for constituents and a resource for the media to learn about U.S. Rep. DeGette’s  positions and activities representing the people of the First Congressional District of Colorado. 

“I re-designed my Congressional website to mirror the hotbed of innovation that we pride ourselves on in Colorado,” said U.S. Rep. DeGette. “My website is a resource for my constituents in Denver to not only learn about my positions on various national issues, but to also find out how to kick-start inquiries with the federal government, request a meeting, and learn more about famous Coloradoans and fun things to do in the First District.” 

DeGette’s new website includes a variety of links and legislative resources for constituents and members of the media to follow her latest legislative activities and read recent national and local news articles. Visitors can also sign up for DeGette’s electronic newsletter to keep informed of her activities in the U.S. Congress and also read her statements. The website also hosts information on her voting record, constituent services, and federal government resources. The website also features numerous YouTube videos and a link to DeGette’s Facebook page.  

“I also encourage my constituents to sign up for my e-newsletter, which features important updates on current issues.  It is my hope that my website becomes a one-stop shop for those who need assistance from the federal government, or want to learn about my record and activities in Congress.”

In addition to the constituent services available on the website, visitors can learn about U.S. Rep. DeGette’s activities in her leadership role as Chief Deputy Whip and as the Vice Chair of the Energy and Commerce Committee, one of the most powerful committees in Congress.
