Donald Trump is punishing Colorado. He’s announced plans to dismantle NCAR. He used his first veto to block clean water for rural Colorado communities. And he’s threatened to rip away critical childcare resources from our state. Colorado will not be bullied. We’re fighting back against his intimidation tactics and holding strong to this Senate seat. If you can, will you chip in a dollar, maybe two, to help us out? Thank you so much.
