A yellow graphic with a dark blue boarder and white text on top that reads “House Dems are creating a tax code that puts” and a yellow oval graphic and white text that reads “Hardworking Coloradans first”. Underneath says “We’re paring back tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy to put thousands of dollars back into the pockets of middle- and lower-income Colorado families” with red highlights behind “ultra-wealthy”, “thousands of dollars” and “Colorado families”. The white Colorado House Democrats logo in white with a blue circle behind it is at the bottom center of the graphic.

We have a choice - we can give taxpayer-funded handouts to corporations and the 1%, or we can lift children out of poverty and boost families. We’re choosing families.

We passed 3️⃣ bills in committee today to limit corporate tax breaks & create a new tax credit for families.
