✔️Do illegal war → higher energy bills ✔️Cut SNAP → higher grocery prices and hurt farmers and ranchers ✔️Add red tape to benefit programs → strip away your rights, freedoms, and entitlements
A vote for @MannyRutinel is a vote for radicalism in every form… ✔️ Eliminate oil and gas jobs → higher energy bills ✔️ Hurt Colorado farmers and ranchers → higher grocery prices ✔️ Expand government overreach → strip away your rights and freedoms Vote accordingly.

It would have been so easy to just not do this ad.
#IAPol: "No Iowan should face discrimination. As a Paralympian, I also know it's important to have rules. It's why I oppose males competing in female sports ... I'm against taxpayers paying for sex changes, too." Josh Turek is up with a new #IASen ad. Future reservations: 🔵$18.0M 🔴$15.5M

It cannot be overstated how much red tape Republicans added to the process of getting Medicaid and SNAP. Millions of people who literally qualify for these programs are being kicked off them, despite qualifying, because of all the red tape Grassley voted to add to them.
Republicans hv been hard @ work cutting red tape 2 lower costs+ make life easier for Americans We hv already overturned 23 Biden era regulations thru legislation GOP is committed 2 slashing heavy-handed gov policies

If you are filling out your ballot tonight and looking at Prop 133 (Human Trafficking), it is important to know that victim advocates, anti-trafficking groups, and child advocacy centers are opposed to it ...

This is why we can’t get rid of the Education Department.
Yesterday, the Energy Department announced major investments towards Tribal communities energy infrastructure that will lower energy costs for Americans! 🇺🇸

The best outcome in CO-03 is Hurd winning by a thin margin, like <5% . Why? Trump continue to punish blue states and CO-03 can't afford to lose more federal funding. It benefits Colorado as a whole if Trump sees Hurd as a winner.

Jeff pulled down and reposted this tweet. The message is the same. You can't be a rural health champion and vote to cut Medicaid, Jeff.
Access to quality health care shouldn’t depend on your ZIP code. I visited Axis Health System in Durango today to see how its team is bringing primary care, behavioral health, dental care, pharmacy, and other services together for patients across Southwest Colorado. Thank you to CEO Shelly Burke and the entire Axis team for the work you do every day, and for the candid conversation about what it takes to sustain health care in rural Colorado. I’ll keep working to make sure rural providers have a strong voice in Washington. #CO03

Access to quality care should not depend on where you live, which is why Medicaid, which covers 30% of Jeff’s constituents, is so important. Medicaid supports access to care, paying for about 20% of hospital services across 13 facilities in CO-03. Jeff voted to cut Medicaid🤡

The very quickest way to squander it is to not actually deliver real policy wins for working class people. And that's true not just of Dems at the federal level, every single state and local elected needs to be part of that project in the lead up to 2028.

$.25 of every SNAP dollar goes directly back to food producers. Colorado's farmers and ranchers get are worse off because Gabe Evans cut SNAP benefits.
Colorado's farmers and ranchers work hard every day to put food on America's tables! It was great visiting Bella Holsteins in Hudson to see their new rotary dairy facility and hear firsthand about the challenges facing our dairy farmers. I represent one of Colorado's largest agricultural districts, and I'll always make time to hear from the hardworking folks who feed our country.

In my ballot guides, I try to give a frame for evaluating measures, not just vote recommendations. Not this year. There are right and wrong answers. My takes are correct. But if you insist on thinking for yourself⬇️🧵

Our ballot is long but, aside from a few trick questions, it isn’t difficult. There are precisely two measures that deserve your support: ✅yes on NN and 87, ❌no on everything else. Trick questions demarcated with 🤡

Here are my three guiding principles for the 2026 CO statewide ballot: 1) Who paid and worked to get this on the ballot? 2) How does in-group/out-group thinking show up on our ballot? 3) How are special interests responding to budget cuts and underfunding due to TABOR?

Me writing my 2026 CO ballot guide: this ballot represents a Battle Royale between the forces of good and evil, a choice between a bright, prosperous future and an austere one, controlled by Dark Unaccountable Money🧵 versus me, full of hope, writing my first CO ballot guide:
Hello, (overwhelmed) first time Colorado voter here👋 My ballot is 6 pages long? I feel like I’m taking the SATs? And I work in public policy? Is this a nightmare? Here’s the approach I’m taking to understand and evaluate the Initiatives and Propositions on my ballot🧵

Forcing our state to work within even tighter constraints with fewer dollars could ultimately have the effect of undercutting Prop 137’s “land management" goals.

Me in 2026: every option you bubble brings us closer to one of two realities – a prosperous future, or one controlled by dark monied interests. There are correct answers. May the odds be ever in your favor, and happy voting! Vs me in 2022: xitter.cf/libbychambe/status/158…

I’d never tell you how to vote, just to vote. I hope my framework is at least a lil helpful in making your choices. Remember! Ballots (& budgets) are statements of values! Fiscal policy is cool! Voter fraud is fiction! These opinions are my own! Happy voting/SAT-taking😎
