Federal Worker Resources

Colorado is home to more than 60,000 public servants who work in our federal government agencies. These workers are our neighbors— letter carriers, nurses at VA hospitals, forest rangers, and more. They work hard each day to provide essential services that help Coloradans thrive.

We all want a more efficient government. As Mayor of Denver and Governor of Colorado, I balanced budgets and streamlined processes. If the goal is to cut real fraud, waste, and abuse, count us in.

But the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is shortchanging Coloradans and federal workers. Mass layoffs, confusing employment guidelines, and abrupt service cuts—without strategy or explanation—disrupt lives and weaken government services. These reckless cuts harm federal workers and undermine the federal government’s ability to serve our communities.

We’re committed to fighting for a strong, non-partisan civilian workforce that serves every Coloradan.
