They blew a $1.2 billion hole in Colorado’s budget, costing you money and core services people rely on.

We’re holding them accountable across Colorado.

Colorado Democrats are hitting the road to make sure Coloradans know exactly who’s responsible for our state’s $1.2 billion budget shortfall: Colorado’s Republican Congressional Delegation.

Republicans in Washington voted for extreme budget cuts that gut rural hospitals, slash agricultural programs, take food assistance from working families, raise health insurance premiums, and threaten essential services across the state. Then they came home and hoped no one would notice.

We’re not letting them rewrite history. The Big Bill Fallout Tour will connect the dots between these votes in Congress and the real-world harm to Colorado families, schools, and communities. At each stop, you’ll hear from state party leaders, Democratic lawmakers, community members, and Coloradans directly impacted by these cuts, and you’ll have the chance to ask questions and share your story.
