Trisha Calvarese for Colorado

I’ve made the difficult decision to suspend my campaign to represent Colorado’s 4th Congressional District. Congratulations to Eileen Laubacher and her team. I hope this carries through to a win in November.

To everyone who believed—gave time, energy, and hope to this campaign—thank you. And I’m sorry we fell short.

We made an impact. We built coalitions. We showed the progress a grassroots Democrat can make without compromising fundamental values.

I will continue to fight for the American middle class and the dignity of human work. The status quo cannot hold. But the future will be shaped by those who step forward to meet it and I will continue to do that work.

With gratitude, love, and solidarity,
Trisha Calvarese

Happy Colorado Agriculture Day! Today, we celebrate the vital role of agriculture in our state and country. From the plains to the mountains, our farmers and ranchers work hard to feed our communities and sustain our land. Here's to their dedication and contributions to Colorado's economy and heritage!

Our district includes:
•Young families trying to get ahead
•Workers in the middle of their careers
•Seniors on fixed incomes

Effective leadership means understanding all of them — and building policy that reflects that reality.

Breaking up monopolistic practices isn’t abstract — it’s about protecting farmers, ranchers, and rural economies.

Lowering costs means taking energy seriously — investing in reliability, increasing domestic capacity, and making sure working families aren’t stuck footing the bill.

When companies like JBS dominate the market
•Workers face unsafe conditions
•Farmers lose leverage
•Consumers pay more

This is exactly why antitrust enforcement matters.

We need stronger antitrust enforcement that puts working families first.

We’ve spent decades sending young Americans into conflicts without clear outcomes or accountability.

We cannot repeat that mistake.

Preventing escalation with Iran isn’t weakness — it’s responsible leadership. It means avoiding another generation of veterans carrying the cost of decisions made in Washington.

NSF's NCAR lab in Colorado is a cornerstone of American innovation. It supports US economic security. It advances the science to support work impacted by weather, like farming and ranching.

I’m a former NSF civil servant running to fire Lauren Boebert and keep America a world leader in science and technology.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

My faith has always been an important part of my life — grounding me in service, humility, and standing up for others.

Today is a good reminder of those values and the importance of community.

Wishing you all a wonderful day.
