COLORADO FAMILIES ARE FINDING THAT NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY WORK, THEY STRUGGLE TO MAKE ENDS MEET.

Michael passed the expanded Child Tax Credit, which kept nearly 4 million children out of poverty last year alone and gave working families a tax cut. Now, he’s fighting to make it permanent. Michael believes anybody who graduates with a high school diploma should be able to find a good job and earn a living wage. That’s why he’s working to expand access to skills training and apprenticeships, particularly in rural and underserved communities. He’s also fighting to make sure college is affordable for Coloradans who choose to attend. Michael successfully pushed to extend the pause on student loan repayments so borrowers have more time to financially recover from the pandemic.
