Debates in the legislature are getting more intense as we get closer to the end of session -- which is still 47 days away -- but even so, we're still working together to get good things done for the people of Colorado. #COLeg #COPolitics

My good friend Janet Buckner retired from the Senate before we had a chance to honor years of service to the State. But she came back for a day, so we took the opportunity to read tributes in her honor and give speeches praising her. I was very happy to see her again. #COLeg

We love celebrating birthdays in the Senate, even for those Senators who (like me) have birthdays during the months when the Senate is not in session. #COLeg #COPolitics And oh yeah, @RepJoeNeguse was there, too.
