Dear
Friend,
Bringing
Colorado
TV
to
Southwest
Colorado
This
week,
the
FCC
announced
it
approved
La
Plata
County’s
request
to
access
Denver
TV.
Since
my
time
in
the
House
of
Representatives,
I
have
worked
with
members
of
both
parties
and
local
officials
to
bring
Colorado
TV
to
the
southwest
and
resolve
the
issue.
This
announcement
is
the
result
of
a
bipartisan,
locally-driven
effort,
and
it’s
welcome
news
for
many
people
in
Colorado
who
have
waited
too
long
for
access
to
the
Denver
broadcast
market.

more
about
this
success
in
The
Durango
Herald

Combating
Cyber
Threats
at
the
Local
Level
I’m
proud
to
work
with
Mark
Warner
(D-VA),
along
with
Representatives
Derek
Kilmer
(D-WA)
and
Barbara
Comstock
(R-VA),
to introduce
bipartisan,
bicameral
legislation
to
help
state,
local,
and
tribal
governments
more
effectively
counter
cyber
threats.
The
State
Cyber
Resiliency
Act
would
set
up
a
cybersecurity
grant
program
that
would
provide
resources
for
states
to
develop
and
implement
effective
cyber
resiliency
plans.
As
the
threat
of
cyber
warfare
intensifies,
it’s
important
that
local
governments
are
properly
prepared
to
deter
and
protect
themselves
from
cyber-attacks.
I'm
also
grateful
that
the
bill's
supporters
include
Denver
Mayor
Michael
Hancock,
Colorado
Springs
Mayor
John
Suthers,
the
National
Cybersecurity
Center
in
Colorado
Springs,
and
the
Colorado
Municipal
League.

Resiliency

President
Trump's
Address
to
a
Joint
Session
of
Congress
On
Tuesday
night,
President
Trump
outlined
his
plan
to
tackle
our
country’s
challenges.
I
am
encouraged
that
he
prioritized
strengthening
our
economy
and
boosting
job
creation
as
well
as
addressing
our
broken
health
care
system.
Equally
as
important,
the
President
highlighted
the
increasingly
complex
security
threats
we’re
facing
around
the
globe,
including
Iran
and
ISIS.
After
eight
years
of
a
failed
foreign
policy
that
led
to
emboldened
regimes
and
instability
in
the
Middle
East,
it’s
critical
that
the
United
States
stands
up
to
its
adversaries
and
stands
by
its
allies.
While
headlines
may
reflect
polarization,
I
remain
convinced
that
more
unites
us
than
divides
us.
Our
shared
love
and
respect
for
democracy
continues
to
make
America
the
greatest
nation
on
earth.
Our
country
is
still
one
that
strives
to
inspire,
innovate,
invent,
and
above
all
–
promote
and
create
opportunities.
I’m
committed
to
working
with
this
Administration
on
behalf
of
Coloradans
to
strengthen
our
country
and
make
it
easier
for
every
American
to
succeed.

Cybersecurity
Caucus
event

We
discussed
the
threat

gaps
and

development,
and

on
cybersecurity
issues.

Traveling
Colorado
During
the
February
State
Work
Period
During
the
February
state
work
week,
I
met
with
constituents
up
and
down
the
Front
Range.
At
the
Metropolitan
State
University
of
Denver,
I
discussed
ways
to
advance
Colorado’s
aerospace
industry
and
create
more
jobs
for
Coloradans
with
the
Colorado
Space
Coalition.
I
also
spoke
to
the
Governor’s
Forum
on
Colorado
Agriculture
and
Fort
Collins
Chamber
of
Commerce,
heard
input
on
how
best
to
reform
our
healthcare
system
from
the
Colorado
Health
Care
Association,
and
joined
MillerCoors
and
the
National
Association
of
Manufacturers
to
answer
questions
from
MillerCoors
employees
and
discuss
ways
to
ensure
there
are
additional
manufacturing
opportunities
in
Colorado.
Washington,
D.C.
cannot
operate
in
a
vacuum,
and
that’s
why
I’m
always
eager
to
meet
with
Coloradans
and
gain
their
input
on
a
variety
of
issues.
My
discussions
with
Coloradans
on
reforming
our
healthcare
system,
creating
jobs
in
aerospace
and
manufacturing,
helping
our
farmers
and
ranchers
succeed,
and
reining
in
overreaching
regulations
provide
me
with
important
perspective,
and
help
me
bring
more
of
Colorado
to
Washington.
I’m
fortunate
to
have
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
so
many
different
groups
across
the
Front
Range,
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
meet
with
Coloradans
in
the
days
ahead.
Below
I
have
included
a
few
photos
of
my
visits.
Enjoy!

Colorado,

childhood
education,
workforce
development,

local
