“We want to support working families. That's the point of this tax policy, but we want to do so in a way that's fiscally responsible and doesn't compete with other priorities like K-12 education. And that matters because in the last couple of years in particular, the cost of everything has gone up. Cost of food, cost of health care, cost of housing. You know, some people say, 'oh, we're all in the same boat.' I think a better way to put it is we're all in the same storm, but different people are in different boats."

“We are trying to join the company of other states in realizing problems in the law that limit people from having access to this kind of remedy.. I am not done caring about this, I am not done committing energy to this, I’m not done believing that this is a remedy that people who survived childhood sex abuse in our state deserve.”

"I believe Coloradans deserve the same protections from unfair and deceptive business practices as consumers in states all the way from blue California to red Mississippi. Any state's consumer protection law is supposed to prevent people from being harmed in the first instance. If we say that you have to prove significant public harm, that means a bunch of people have already been ripped off before somebody can recover from a contractor who takes advantage of you or something like that.”

“...We have a quite old law on the books in Colorado that gives pretty extraordinary immunity to one particular class of businesses that is not enjoyed by most other companies providing any other service or selling any other items. The bill seeks to eliminate that and the bill instead seeks to provide some legal duties consistent with federal law, in the hopes that companies in the firearms industry will comply with those and keep Coloradans safer.”

"Medical debt is crushing our country. It’s crushing our state. By lowering the interest rate to 3%, we give people a little bit more space to not get further behind than they already are.”

“The landlord is still getting the information that the landlord wants. ‘What kind of tenant am I potentially renting to?’” It's an understandable concern. And we think that we found a way to meet that concern and save renters money at the same time.”

“What is a safe workplace free from improper conduct, on the part of women, on the part of people of color, on the part of a number of other folks who just should be able to go and do their job and, and do what their employer needs them to do in a safe way?”

“…Americans’ opinions about abortion rights vary, but very few people would agree with the idea that the U.S. Constitution should offer zero protection at all, leaving the matter entirely to the whims of radical state politicians who could criminalize medical providers, those who assist women in obtaining abortions, or even pregnant women themselves. Yet in substituting their own feelings about abortion rights for decades of settled law, that is exactly what the Court majority has done…”

“I want to create hope for more students to pursue this course, get a college degree, and then move on with that accomplishment in their lives,. I think this is an investment very worth our state making.”

“Sadly, we know we’re gonna see more (natural disasters) in Colorado, and I hope that what we don’t see in response to that is people trying to take advantage of those situations by ripping off people who’ve already suffered horrible loss. But if we do see that kind of behavior, it’s important to have a law on the books that can step in and create consequences.”
