It was great to be at Loveland Pride last weekend! Rocky Mountain Equality did a spectacular job. It was wonderful to meet so many engaged members of the community. And awesome to have the kids along!

In my role on the US National Security Council I was tasked with working with our partners and allies to promote shared values of democracy and economic development. This mission will continue in my role as Congresswoman from Colorado.

Happy Juneteenth. Today, we celebrate freedom.

It was great to spend time in Parker this weekend at Parker days with Doug Co Dems!

Whenever someone asks me what the hardest part of being deployed to Afghanistan was, I tell them: “Little Caesar’s Hot-N-Ready pizza.”

And a Happy Father's Day to this man — the one who holds down the home front when I'm deployed, the one who loves us unconditionally, and the one who we all love right back. Happy Father's Day, Chris!

Today I stood with thousands of Coloradans who are making clear this country is a democracy. It belongs to the people. #NoKings Great turnout in Loveland!

Happy Birthday to the United States Army! Today they commemorate 250 years of serving and defending the American people. I am proud to have served alongside superb soldiers at home and abroad. May our republic benefit from 250 more years of their exemplary service.

Today, we celebrate the 248th anniversary of the Continental Congress adopting the Stars and Stripes as the U.S. flag. I'm attending the ceremony given by the Associated Veterans of Loveland in its honor. Join us! https://bit.ly/4l5Bomq

Congressional representatives are sent to Washington to represent the people and help provide for their needs — including their health. Voting to kick 110,000 Coloradans off of their health insurance, as Lauren Boebert did, does not help provide for their needs. coloradosun.com/2025/06/11/h...

Women officially gained the right to serve in the U.S. military in 1948. But women have been serving this country in battle since its inception. I am proud to walk in their footsteps and today we honor all the women who came before and will come after. Thank you for your service.

My mom and dad have supported me through it all. From childhood dreams of following my dad into the Navy, to coming over every day to help Chris with the kids while I was overseas. I'm an incredibly lucky daughter!

62 years ago today, JFK signed the Equal Pay Act. We've come a long way and the EPA is a landmark law, but the gender pay gap persists. I will fight to close that gap in Congress because I know what it's like to both break those gender barriers and benefit from laws like these.

This is exactly the type of creative, effective solutions we need here in CO-04. The needs of communities can be addressed when private and public entities come together. I pledge to work with local communities to cut red tape so needed housing can be built without bureaucracy slowing it down.

I served in the United States Navy for 34 years. My father for 37. My grandfather was a frogman in WWII. Service to my country is in my blood. So when I realized the people of CO-04 were not being served by Lauren Boebert, I felt that call of service once again.

It was my profound honor and pleasure to attend the Unite for Veterans, Unite for America Rally today in Washington DC. Veteran jobs, healthcare, and essential VA services are under attack. We can not stand by. #UniteForVeterans

81 years ago today, Allied troops landed in Normandy to continue the fight against fascism. My grandfather was a frogman in WWII. My father and I followed in his footsteps and I'm proud every day to honor their legacy and the legacy of all the those who served on D-Day.

The non-partisan CBO score of the"BBB" passed by Boebert & Republicans is in: It will add $2.4 trillion to the national debt & 10.9 million people will lose health insurance. This is an awful bill that increases spending at the expense of hard-working Americans. https://bit.ly/4dSB1sX

I was 17 years old when I raised my right hand for the first time and took an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic—even when they’re sitting members of Congress — like Lauren Boebert.

I'm Eileen Laubacher. A retired Rear Admiral and the Democrat running against Lauren Boebert. I know what sacrifice means and service looks like. Boebert doesn’t have a clue. Can you help me get to 5k followers to show her we can do this?!

I was a rear admiral in the Navy, served as Special Assistant to the President, and as a senior advisor on the National Security Council And we'll talk more about that, I promise. But what I'm most proud of are these five amazing kiddos—now full-fledged adults— who call me mom!

My thoughts are with the Boulder community and victims of the horrific terror attack that occurred this afternoon. Hate-fueled violence has no place in Colorado or our country.

Rather than meeting her constituents face-to-face, Boebert is stumping for her Freedom Caucus buddy out of state tomorrow.

The spending bill passed by Boebert and House Republicans would kick 21,512 residents of CO-04 off their health insurance. Is this what Boebert means when she says not my problem?! Well, I want to make it mine because too many pay too much for too little care.

The 250th anniversary of the Army is important, but pushing aside our Vietnam vets so Trump can have his way on his birthday is wrong. Colorado vets, like Janet Zamora's husband, deserve to be paid the respect they've earned. Especially at a time when their services are being gutted. wapo.st/4dCpuOp

Lauren Boebert is purposefully dodging her constituents and using flimsy excuses as to why. This is not what being accountable to CO-04 looks like.

Hi everyone! I'm Eileen Laubacher, the Democrat, retired U.S. Navy Admiral, and mother of five running against Lauren Boebert here in Colorado. I'd love if you could follow and share to help me get to 3,000 followers. Let's get rid of Boebert in November! PS... love the fan art!

Lauren Boebert just voted to give to the billionaires and ultra wealthy and steal from poor, working class, and middle class Americans. This bill strips Coloradans of Medicaid and puts Medicare at risk all while adding trillions to our national deficit. Shame on her.

Don't let Lauren Boebert fool you, this bill would cut taxes for the RICH. Leaving regular folks to pick up the tab in the form of out-of-pocket health care bills and lower wages.

Cutting congressional spending is one thing, but doing it at the expense of millions of Americans in desperate need of health care is down right wrong. Boebert's Freedom Caucus is at the heart of this cruelty.

Did you vote against the funding for this one too, Lauren? Also, your friend Elon is trying to cut 80,000 VA employees and we haven't heard a peep from you about that. A true supporter of Vets would have voted to pass the PACT Act for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits, like me.
