Colorado officials including Senator Bennet, Senator Hickenlooper, Representative Crow, Representative Pettersen, and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston have united to address the state's migrant surge. They are calling on Congress to provide support to local communities and nonprofits that are struggling to meet the humanitarian needs of the migrants. The officials emphasize the need for solutions that go beyond partisan politics to alleviate the burden on the state and its taxpayers, and to assist those fleeing persecution.
Mayors are on the frontlines of our fight to end gun violence. Today, I joined @usmayors for a conversation on the continued partnership between the Biden-Harris Administration and local leaders to save lives and keep our communities safe. https://t.co/O8Jz7yJm7D
Great to join @usmayors to discuss how we can solve the housing & mental health crises in the US.

I’m grateful to have CA’s mayors as partners in this effort. https://t.co/2rJzEnzJcq
