Our Government

Date:

White House

The President’s modern American industrial strategy seeks to address market failures that prevent the U.S. economy from serving the nation’s economic and national security needs, including by building a clean energy economy. Transportation accounts for the largest share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions (about a third), with most transportation emissions coming from light-duty vehicles— the cars, small trucks, and vans that many of us drive. Meeting the President’s goal of net zero emissions by 2050 will require large-scale adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), which can produce fewer—or zero—emissions.

Colorado Governor

At Lamar Station in Lakewood, Governor Polis released the Roadmap to a Future Colorado 2026, detailing practical steps to create more housing that Coloradans can afford, expand transit options, protect Colorado’s precious resources like water and public land and improve air quality. “We have an opportunity to create a more affordable and livable Colorado for everyone when our state turns 150 in 2026. Coloradans around the state are calling for reduced housing costs and better transit options, and this roadmap details common sense actions we can take to deliver the results Coloradans deserve, while protecting our environment and the resources we rely on,” Governor Polis said.

Denver Mayor

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced the nomination of two cabinet positions, pending City Council approval. Chief Desmond G. Fulton is nominated to continue as Chief of the Denver Fire Department, and Sheriff Elias Diggins is nominated to continue leading the Denver Sheriff’s Department. Both Chief Fulton and Sheriff Diggins will play instrumental roles in collaborating with local agencies, community stakeholders, and city officials to ensure the seamless delivery of public safety services to the City and County of Denver. “These are leaders who have grown up in this community, have served this community, and share our vision for bringing public safety to every neighborhood in Denver,” said Mayor Mike Johnston. “I look forward to working with them shoulder to shoulder to deliver a safer Denver.”
