In Colorado, we remain laser-focused on delivering real results on the issues that Coloradans care about most. From saving people money to removing barriers that prevent more housing that Coloradans can afford from being built, investing in our student’s success, creating a world-class transportation system to connect our communities, and protecting our personal freedom, we will continue to address challenges head-on to improve the Colorado way of life. I look forward to working with the new legislative leaders to build on our work to protect freedoms, save Coloradans money, and make life in our beautiful state even better,” said Governor Jared Polis.
