That’s why he’s standing up to Trump and demanding the president pay back every cent he stole with his illegal tariff-taxes. John sits on the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and has championed legislation to expand access to capital for small businesses, women, Coloradans of color and rural communities. Investing in American Workers John is a strong supporter of labor unions and American workers. He’s joined picket lines across Colorado and supported workers as they organize for fair wages and better working conditions. In the Senate, he co-sponsors the PRO Act to strengthen workers’ rights and help working Americans negotiate better salaries, benefits, and working conditions. He has stood up to Trump’s efforts to revoke the rights of federal employees to collectively bargain. As governor, he helped create CareerWise and invest in apprenticeship programs for our next generation of workers and continues that work in the Senate.  Artificial Intelligence is already shaping our lives and the economy. John knows our workers can’t be left behind. That’s why he’s authored legislation to prepare and protect our workforce as we harness American innovation to lead on AI. He has worked to protect small businesses and consumers from cyberattacks and scams and supports regulating the artificial intelligence industry. He has fought back against the Trump Administration’s policies that are skyrocketing costs for groceries, medical care and other everyday goods and has been working to reinstate employees that ensure consumers’ rights. Lowering Prices Too many Coloradans are holding down two or three jobs but still can’t get ahead. We need to build an economy that works for everyone, not just the ultra-wealthy and well-connected.

That’s what has guided his work to deliver universal health care. As governor, he expanded health care to more than 500,000 Coloradans. As senator, he lowered drug prices for seniors and held pharmaceutical companies accountable for price gouging. John supports legislation to create a public option, lower drug prices by empowering Medicare to negotiate all drug prices, and improve health care access for rural, low-income, and minority communities.  Now, he’s fighting the Trump administration’s assault on Americans’ health care. He voted against their cruel budget that’ll DOUBLE the cost of health care – or erase it entirely – for millions of people to give $4 trillion in tax cuts for large corporations and the ultra-wealthy. He’s working to restore funding for Medicaid, ACA subsidies, and SNAP and introduced legislation to create real transparency in health care costs to protect people from hidden prices and root out corruption and waste. Standing Up for Abortion Rights Amid the Trump admin’s relentless attacks on women’s rights, John is defending a woman’s right to choose. He is fighting to restore Roe v Wade and reverse disastrous Medicaid cuts that targeted Planned Parenthood. He is working to protect mifepristone and medical abortions and establish a nationwide right to access IVF. As governor, he expanded access to free birth control.","source_url":"https://HICKENLOOPER.COM/issues","source_date":"2026-06-16"}],"committees":[],"finance":[{"id":108,"official_id":113,"fec_candidate_id":"S0CO00575","cycle":2026,"office_sought":"S","total_raised":10285376.31,"total_spent":9843588.87,"cash_on_hand":2083870.46,"total_debt":0,"individual_contributions":7580800.04,"pac_contributions":1079082.27,"party_contributions":62000,"self_funding":0,"last_filing_date":"2026-03-31T00:00:00","source_url":"https://www.fec.gov/data/candidate/S0CO00575/?cycle=2026","updated_at":"2026-09-12 06:37:30"},{"id":493,"official_id":113,"fec_candidate_id":"S0CO00575","cycle":2024,"office_sought":"S","total_raised":1160079.25,"total_spent":954664.22,"cash_on_hand":1435632.98,"total_debt":0,"individual_contributions":928610.79,"pac_contributions":113500,"party_contributions":0,"self_funding":0,"last_filing_date":"2024-12-31T00:00:00","source_url":"https://www.fec.gov/data/candidate/S0CO00575/?cycle=2024","updated_at":"2026-05-10 10:52:34"}],"vote_count":0,"vote_summary":[],"vote_topics":[],"recent_votes":[],"offices":[{"id":113,"role":"held","status":"candidate","start_date":null,"end_date":null,"is_current":1,"district":"00","notes":null,"source":"fec","source_url":"https://api.open.fec.gov/v1/candidate/S0CO00575/","office_id":1,"office_name":"U.S. Senator","level":"federal","branch":"legislative","chamber":"senate","office_state":null,"jurisdiction":"United States Senate"}],"state_vote_count":0,"total_vote_count":0,"_has_sponsored_bills":false,"data_gaps":[{"field":"committees","gap":"No committee assignments on file.","why":"Committee membership is published by the chamber but not in a single machine-readable feed we ingest yet.","closes_with":"Congress.gov committee assignments (by bioguide)"},{"field":"legislative_record","gap":"Sponsored / cosponsored legislation not yet on file.","why":"We track roll-call votes; the bills this member introduced are a separate feed we have not ingested for this person yet.","closes_with":"Congress.gov sponsored-legislation (by bioguide)"},{"field":"votes","for_office":"U.S. Senator","gap":"No roll-call votes on file for an office this person held.","why":"Federal roll-calls come from House Clerk XML and senate.gov LIS XML; coverage does not extend to every historical congress.","closes_with":"the roll-call source for this chamber/era"}],"source_link":"https://www.fec.gov/data/candidate/S0CO00575/","data_freshness":{"official_record":"2026-08-21 08:00:32","official_record_age_days":31,"latest_vote":null,"latest_vote_age_days":null,"latest_position":"2026-07-03","latest_position_age_days":81,"latest_finance_filing":"2026-03-31T00:00:00","note":"Dates are capture/source dates.
