1 BIG THING: REDUCING WAIT TIMES AT DIA
What’s happening: Denver International Airport (DIA) is the country’s third busiest airport and an economic engine for Colorado. But as passenger traffic at DIA reaches new records, a lack of transparency from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has limited the airport’s ability to respond to its increased volume of travelers and led to long wait times for travelers.
What I’m doing: This week, I urged TSA to work with DIA to meet increasing demand and better serve all visitors to our state. Watch more below.
2. PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN FROM BIG TECH
What’s happening: Big Tech companies like Meta have purposely designed their platforms to addict our kids, sabotaging their physical and mental health for profit. Now, Colorado is leading the way to hold Meta accountable for its damage to our children.
What I believe: It’s unacceptable that Big Tech continues to transform American life and manipulate kids with no accountability to the American people. I’m pleased that our state is at the forefront of this effort to hold these companies responsible.
3. PRESERVING CAMP HALE
What happened: For years, I worked with Coloradans to preserve the legacy of the Ute people – who lived along the Continental Divide for generations – and soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division who trained at Camp Hale. That’s why last year, when President Biden designated Camp Hale and the Tenmile Range as the first National Monument of his administration, I was thrilled.
What’s next: Now that we have this designation, we must work together to develop a management plan that honors the veterans and Tribes who have an enduring connection to this land – not only for Colorado but for America.
What I’m doing: On Saturday, I joined the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), U.S. Representative Joe Neguse, and leaders from the Ute Mountain Ute and Southern Ute Indian Tribes to unveil new signs for the monument and begin work on the management plan. I’ll keep working to secure funding for the Camp Hale-Continental Divide National Monument and provide the resources it deserves.
