Paycheck Fairness
Tuesday, January 29, 2013Four years ago today, President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law, ensuring a fair day in court for victims of gender-based pay discrimination.

Colorado, we did it!

The latest chapter in that fight was six months ago, when I pledged to deliver a speech on the Senate floor nearly every day we were in session about how the wind Production Tax Credit and the wind energy industry have boosted our economy and created jobs in Colorado and across our great nation.

One Step Closer to Protecting Colorado Water, Remediating Our Mining Legacy
Wednesday, December 19, 2012Our great state - and much of Colorado's history - began with a mining boom.
