Just a few minutes ago I call Representative Caraveo to congratulate her on her win in CD8. While this is not the outcome we hoped for, I am proud of our team and our campaign. And “thank” all of the team, the countless volunteers, the folks who contributed and my family.
Sandra Fish is a fair; honest and respected reporter.
As a Republican I’m embarrassed by the GOP chair.
As a State Senator I’m stunned by the blatant disregard for our Constitution - and by a former Legislator no less. Disgusting.

I grew up poor.
I paid for my education.
I paid for my daughters education.
If need be I will help pay for my grandkids education.
Why should I pay for yours?
Oh and I’m one of those hard working Americans.
I have over $200k of education debt because I grew up poor and believed in the American Dream.
This country profits from selling poor kids high interest rate edu loans.
Corrupt justices who accept lavish gifts sided with the rich and powerful over hard-working Americans.
And so we are clear
@GovofCO
, meaningful property tax RELIEF means that I should be paying less property taxes than I did the previous year.
A decrease in the increase is not relief. It’s a scam.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to everyone who volunteered, campaigned, donated, and voted for me. It was because of each one of you that we were able to tell Nancy Pelosi and D.C. Dems that in Colorado, we make up our own minds.
Thank you. Let’s win this in November!
Dave- speaking of budgets, I’d like to see the the State GOP budget. Where can I find it?
I’d also like to receive a copy of year to date expenditures and revenues. So I can see what else you’ve been up too. (or not)
Senator Kirkmeyer
@SenKirkmeyer
When you figure out what’s actually “constructive” please let the world know.
Here’s a hint: it doesn’t involve voting to pass the largest budget in Colorado history so radical Democrats can force their extreme policies against the very people you claim to care about.
Senator- seriously?
Please stop trying to fool the public. They are not dumb.
Local Govt organizations are a NO on HH. Business is opposed to HH.
You should have read the ballot before you voted.
Vote No on HH
As you are filling out your ballot today, please vote
YES on Prop HH.
#Seniors

Representative did you miss the
@GovofCO
budget? He followed the law we passed last year & FULLY FUNDED education w/o HH!
That’s right Coloradans don’t need to give up their TABOR refund to FULLY Fund education!
It’s NOT a revenue problem
Dems have a prioritization issue
Colorado needs a more equitable tax code, we don’t need to be cutting property taxes on $5 million homes. Our schools are underfunded are essential services are underfunded. We should target tax relief where it is needed to the working and middle class.

Colorado has seen a 382% increase in fentanyl overdoses over the last 2 years.
@YadiraCaraveo
not only sent a letter to Pres. Biden asking him to defund ICE, but voted to legalize possession of lethal amounts of fentanyl in CO.
Hugh left his handprint on our hearts and a legacy of compassion and devotion to his community and state. Even in heartbreak and sadness I can hear Hugh’s encouragement, that jovial laugh of his. I will miss my friend- love ya Hugh!

Launched my new ad today! I'll be a thorn in the side of the liberal big spenders in Washington, D.C. Reckless deficit spending is saddling future generations with trillions of dollars in debt. That's wrong. It's also driving inflation. Voters have a clear choice in this race!
Honored to be named to "Young Gun" status by the National Republican Congressional Committee today. Colorado's 8th Congressional District is one of the most competitive districts in the nation. Let's win this, send Nancy Pelosi packing, and get our nation back on track!
Biden opened our Southern border, leading to a flood of fentanyl. Here in CO,
@YadiraCaraveo
made matters worse. She voted to decriminalize fentanyl. In Congress, I’ll work to secure our Southern border and put the fentanyl dealers & smugglers behind bars. Let’s protect our kids!
Team Kirkmeyer is out in full force working to win over every last voter! Thank you to all our incredible volunteers who have been working overtime to make sure we win on Tuesday. Only 2 more days to go!
President Biden is, yet again, attempting to bail out his own party by releasing more oil from the strategic reserve. His willingness to deplete our oil reserve is politically-motivated and is weakening our national security.
I’ve been traveling around the state talking to Coloradans also.
And they want a honest, transparent, accountable government
So what should I tell them when they ask why vote for Prop HH when their property taxes are still going up AND they have to give up TABOR refunds?
I have been bringing key members of my cabinet with me around the state to hear directly from Coloradans about what they want communities and our state to look like when we turn 150 in just a few years in 2026.
@KyleClark
apparently didn’t want to post my actual quote for 9News:
My opponent’s extreme position, supporting abortion right up to the moment of birth, is out of step with the overwhelming majority of American people who support common-sense limits on abortion.
NEW: CO-08 GOP candiate

Frizell is a Representative for the State of Colorado. No foul.
But curious did you call out the Gov last year for his letter on state letterhead calling the TABOR refund check the “Colorado Cash back” check?
Deceitful right ?

@YadiraCaraveo
sponsored the most anti-energy bill in Colorado history and now stands with anti-U.S. energy Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi.
As I clearly stated, I’m not going to speculate on a first draft of a bill that even Democrats admit won’t pass the Senate. My opponent, on the other hand, has made clear her extreme stance on abortion. I look forward to having the debate.
Thank you for your feedback. Respectfully, we asked you for your position on the abortion ban, not your opinion of your opponent's position. The former is what you'd be voting if elected to Congress.

Yes by directing your Dept Heads to do their job.
You shouldn’t need an Exec Order- won’t they follow your direction?
This is a staged, shameless press event.
Because you’ve been having a bad week getting sued by School Districts.
The choice is clear: Coloradans want a rejection of the status quo, which is why I am taking the actions that I can within my authority to streamline and speed up approval and ensure the government is not a barrier to housing being built while helping save people money.
I know why I’m running for Congress- this picture of my grandson presenting the flag at his school assembly today sums it up. A Future Built on Freedom!

Today, I addressed my fellow Senators with a simple request: recriminalize fentanyl. The 2019 law decriminalizing fentanyl was clearly a mistake, with grave consequences.

Our children deserve every opportunity to grow into successful, healthy adults. This is why Healthier Colorado is presenting the Early Childhood Award for the first time this year. This 2023 Legislative Session,

At our Southern border where we heard- so far this year, 2022, fentanyl seizures are 10,600 pounds. Two pounds of fentanyl has the potential to kill 500,000 people. It’s clear every state is becoming a border state.
Pres. Biden has done everything he can to kill energy jobs in America, and
@YadiraCaraveo
has been helping him every step of the way.
We’re never going to curb this record-high inflation until we unleash American energy and rein in the reckless spending in DC.
Hey I have an idea!
Let’s just lower the income tax rate!
Reduce the tax burden on Coloradans. They keep their hard earned money.
The State doesn’t need to OVER collect in the first place.
And this conversation becomes moot.
Middle-income Coloradans face the 10th highest income tax rates in the US. Wealthy Coloradans pay the 17th lowest rate.
Jeff Hunt will demand that those who are overtaxed and struggling to buy groceries get lower refunds, so he can afford more fine dining.
But sure… pizza. 🙄
Are you confused?
Backfilling property tax loss to local gov’ts is a TABOR REFUND mechanism identified in state statute & consistent with the Constitution
Republican plan does NOT “spend” 💵 or grow State gov’t by $10B!
We think
@GovofCO
should keep his word- cut income taxes!
@SenKirkmeyer
Please. I’m just applying your own publicly expressed logic, if you’re spending TABOR surplus on anything but rebates, you’re putting your hands on “my TABOR”! BTW, who benefits the most from your proposed across-the-board tax cut? It sure isn’t the majority of Coloradans.

My opponent voted for the bill to essentially “legalize” fentanyl after law enforcement told the legislature it was a bad idea. Caraveo she’s with Joe Biden and won’t secure the southern border. Now, 2 Greeley police hospitalized with fentanyl exposure.
The Governor & Legislators could have just lowered the assessment rates.
But shocker- the Democrat majority thought it better to insist you give up your TABOR refund check first!

Facts First: Biden’s claims are incorrect. Biden created his student debt forgiveness initiative through executive action, not through legislation. So he did not sign a law and didn’t get the initiative passed by any number of votes.
Caraveo’s top priority in Congress: passing a public health insurance option to increase access to affordable health care.
Reality check: voted for the bill that increases insurance rates! Coloradans can’t AFFORD Caraveo in Congress.
