Apr 29, 2026
Neguse and Bennet urge the Departments of Agriculture and Interior to prioritize wildfire preparedness and response coordination with state and local agencies, expressing concern that staff vacancies from federal workforce reductions may impair the government's ability to respond to record wildfire conditions.
Neguse's statement emphasizes the need for robust federal coordination, preparedness, and environmental protection in response to record wildfire conditions and drought. The HEATS Act exempts geothermal activities from federal environmental review (NEPA), endangered species consultation, and historic preservation requirements on nonfederal lands. A no vote on this bill is consistent with the statement's concern for comprehensive federal environmental oversight and preparedness—the bill reduces federal environmental scrutiny precisely when the statement calls for strengthened federal coordination and protection of natural resources during a climate crisis.

Neguse Issues Statement After Federal Judge Strikes Down Trump Administration CMS Rule Threatening Medicaid Access for Cancer Patients
Position: Congressman Neguse supports a federal judge's ruling striking down a CMS rule that he says would strip Medicaid coverage from cancer patients, and he opposes the rule's implementation of H.R. 1.
Lafayette, CO — Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse issued the following statement after a federal judge struck down a rule issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that would potentially strip healthcare coverage from cancer patients. The Rule’s purpose was to implement standards enacted by Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans disastrous H.R. 1, the Big Ugly Law.
“This ruling is a tremendous win for families like mine who have been impacted by the scourge of cancer. Every American should be able to access the care they need to survive. And any efforts to undercut support for patients in need of life-saving care should be called precisely what they are: cruel and unconscionable. I refuse to turn my back on the millions of Americans diagnosed with this ugly disease, and I am heartened to see the rule of law prevail against attempts by the Trump administration and Congressional Republicans to make it harder for cancer patients to access and stay on Medicaid coverage.”
Neguse, whose immediate family has been impacted by cancer, was vocal in his opposition to the CMS Rule from the get-go. He slammed the rule on the House Floor, calling on colleagues from across the political spectrum to join him in supporting healthcare for vulnerable patients.
Alongside Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Neguse also led the entire House Democratic Caucus in a letter to CMS urging the agency to reverse course.

Neguse, Bennet, Hickenlooper Urge Federal Agencies to Restore Cell Service in Boulder County
Position: The lawmakers urge the FCC and NTIA to meet with cellular carriers immediately to resolve cellular service outages in Boulder County and restore functional coverage, and to keep their offices and local governments updated on progress.
Lafayette, CO — Following recent reports of unacceptable cellular service issues across Boulder County, Congressman Joe Neguse and Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper penned a letter to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) urging the agencies to meet with cellular carriers immediately and resolve the issues.
The three major cellular carriers apparently limited their Boulder County coverage earlier this year to comply with federal signal transmission rules surrounding the Table Mountain Radio Quiet Zone north of Boulder. These federal signal limits protect ongoing research at several government agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Geological Survey.
“We write to urge your agencies to assist in resolving major reported cellular network outages in Boulder County, Colorado, following signal adjustments made to comply with National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) regulations protecting the Table Mountain Radio Quiet Zone,” wrote Neguse, Bennet, and Hickenlooper.
The lawmakers also pressed the NTIA and FCC to find a collaborative solution that will quickly address community concerns, particularly preserving access to cellular coverage as a vital public safety resource.
“Full cell phone coverage is indispensable to everyday life. When people leave their homes, they expect to be able to use their cell phones for navigation, payment, and communication with others. Cell phones are also vital for public safety in Boulder County, which is prone to rapidly escalating wildfires.”
They concluded with a call for swift solutions and asked that the FCC and NTIA keep congressional offices and local governments updated on the outcome of the requested meeting and progress toward restoring full connectivity.
“[W]e respectfully request that FCC and NTIA officials meet with carriers immediately in order to find a solution that will allow them to restore functional cellular service to their customers as soon as possible. We also request that you update our offices and local governments on the outcome of that meeting and report back to us on your progress as all parties work to restore full connectivity,” the lawmakers concluded.

Administrator, National Telecommunications and Information Administration

Washington, DC 20230
Dear Chairman Carr and Assistant Secretary Roth,
We write to urge your agencies to assist in resolving major reported cellular network outages in Boulder County, Colorado, following signal adjustments made to comply with National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) regulations protecting the Table Mountain Radio Quiet Zone.
As we understand it, in late 2024, the NTIA Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) notified three major cellular carriers that they needed to modify their signals received within the Table Mountain Radio Quiet Zone, the 50-mile radius where federal regulations limit radio transmission frequency that could otherwise interfere with the research of the ITS, National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and U.S. Geological Survey. The three major carriers have publicly stated that they have since adjusted their signals to comply with Table Mountain frequency limits.
However, these signal adjustments appear to have significantly downgraded cellular network coverage for Boulder County consumers. Our constituents in the nearby towns of Longmont and Niwot have filed more than 100 formal complaints with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reporting that they cannot make phone calls or use data on their cell phones, even when their devices indicate full network coverage. While the three major carriers have publicly indicated they will further upgrade their networks to compensate for the necessary signal reductions, our constituents lack vital cell connectivity in the interim.
Full cell phone coverage is indispensable to everyday life. When people leave their homes, they expect to be able to use their cell phones for navigation, payment, and communication with others. Cell phones are also vital for public safety in Boulder County, which is prone to rapidly escalating wildfires. Our constituents use their cell phones to notify their families and friends that they are safe during wildfire season and to warn neighbors of unpredictable wildfire shifts. For example, the 2021 Marshall Fire, which killed two people and burned nearly 1,000 structures, progressed so rapidly that many residents would not have known to immediately evacuate had they not been alerted by a phone call or text from someone they knew.
Given all of the foregoing, we respectfully request that FCC and NTIA officials meet with carriers immediately in order to find a solution that will allow them to restore functional cellular service to their customers as soon as possible. We also request that you update our offices and local governments on the outcome of that meeting and report back to us on your progress as all parties work to restore full connectivity.
Sincerely,

Rep. Neguse Leads Colleagues in Letter to State Department Urging Additional Support for Nepal Floods Response
Position: Rep. Neguse and colleagues urge the State Department to provide additional U.S. assistance to Nepal for flood recovery, including search and rescue and rebuilding support.
Washington, D.C. — Today, Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse, Co-Chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Nepal Caucus, led a dozen colleagues in a letter to the United States Department of State, urging they provide additional aid to Nepal as the country recovers from devastating floods in the Trishuli River region.
In late August, a glacier collapse on the Nepal-China border, caused catastrophic flooding, destroying homes, workplaces, roads, bridges, and energy infrastructure. The floods killed 1,450 people and nearly 6,000 people are still missing, including 90 Americans.
In their letter, Neguse and his colleagues noted that the United States has been a longstanding partner in Nepal’s development and called on the State Department to provide much needed support and stability to the country as it recovers and eventually rebuilds.
Full text of the letter is available HERE and below.
It was signed by André Carson (IN-07), Jonathan Jackson (IL-01), Ro Khanna (CA-17), Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL-08), James McGovern (MA-02), Janice Schakowsky (IL-09), Tom Suozzi (NY-03), Emilia Sykes (OH-13), Dina Titus (NV-01), Rashida Tlaib (MI-12), Marc Veasey (TX-33), and Nydia Velázquez (NY-07).

The Honorable Marco Rubio
Secretary of State
U.S. Department of State
2201 C Street NW
Washington, DC 20520
Dear Secretary Rubio,
We write to respectfully request your administration provide further assistance to aid Nepal in its recovery efforts following the devastating floods in the Trishuli River region. Given the scale of this tragedy, we implore your department to act swiftly.
As you know, this unprecedented disaster has claimed at least 1,300 lives, with an estimated 5,000 people still missing—including 90 American citizens. Further, the destruction has left many in the region without access to clean drinking water, food, shelter, and other basic services, including thousands of children. As Nepal continues to recover, the U.S. is uniquely positioned to provide critical infrastructure support and essential supplies to aid these efforts.
The U.S. has been a longstanding partner in Nepal's development, supporting improvements in public health, education, infrastructure, and industry. Continued U.S. assistance would provide much needed stability to the country and help it to rebuild at this critical time.
As such, we urge the Department of State to work to assist search and rescue efforts across Nepal and to provide additional assistance to the country to ensure a speedy recovery.
Sincerely,

Reps. Neguse, Bacon Introduce Bipartisan Safe Spaces for All Act
Position: The release supports the Safe Spaces for All Act, which would expand allowable uses of Nonprofit Security Grant Program funds to include permanent security staff, off-duty law enforcement, and grant application personnel for at-risk places of worship and community centers.
Lafayette, CO — Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse and Nebraskan Congressman Don Bacon (R-NE) teamed up to introduce the Safe Spaces for All Act, a bipartisan bill that provides at-risk places of worship and community centers with critical resources to bolster their security. The lawmakers spearheaded this effort amid a heightened risk of attack for worshipers across the country and after a series of high-profile attacks at synagogues, churches, and other gathering sites have intensified anxiety and fear among Americans of all religions.
Rep. Neguse, who proudly represents Boulder County in the House of Representatives, witnessed firsthand the devastation that comes with faith-based violence and the scourge of antisemitism last summer when a terrorist hurled Molotov cocktails at a group of Jewish members of the community that were taking part in a peaceful walk and vigil calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza, killing one individual and severely injuring more than a dozen others.
Neguse has led multiple efforts to combat the antisemitism that is metastasizing across the country, including working across party lines to secure overwhelming passage of a resolution reaffirming Congress’s commitment to stopping antisemitism in all forms.
“We must do far more to combat the scourge of antisemitism, and to ensure that synagogues, temples and community centers have the resources to ensure that they are safe as hateful threats and violent actions metastasize in Colorado and across the country,” said Congressman Neguse. “The Safe Spaces for All Act bolsters security for our communities, and ensures that under these incredibly trying circumstances, members of the community can feel protected and supported.”
“I’m proud to join Representative Neguse in introducing the Safe Spaces for All Act, because every nonprofit, especially faith-based and community organizations, deserves to safely serve their communities. This bipartisan bill strengthens the Department of Homeland Security’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) by allowing grants to cover on-site security staff, including off-duty law enforcement, and support for navigating the grant process itself. As threats increasingly target our vital civic and religious institutions, this straightforward, pragmatic measure ensures we’re providing the tools needed to keep Americans safe—without creating a new bureaucracy,” said Congressman Bacon.
The Safe Spaces for All Act expands the capabilities of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP), allowing grant funds to be used to hire permanent salaried onsite security guards, employ personnel to both apply for and administer NSGP grants, and hire off-duty law enforcement officers to provide security. Under current law, NSGP funds cannot be used to pay permanent salaried security personnel or cover the cost of staff responsible for preparing grant applications.
The Nonprofit Security Grant Program is especially important for faith-based organizations facing a troubling rise in threats, prejudice, and acts of violence. In addition to strengthening security, this bill will help organizations in rural and remote communities where it can be logistically challenging to find enough qualified private security vendors to meet their security needs.
The Safe Spaces for All Act is supported by JEWISHcolorado, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), and the Jewish Federations of North America.
“Security is not one-size-fits-all. For many houses of worship, community centers, and other nonprofits – trained personnel and the capacity to manage security funding are just as critical as the cameras, barriers, and other physical improvements. The Safe Space for All Act would provide institutions the flexibility to use NSGP funding where it can have the greatest impact - making the program more accessible, responsive, and effective. JEWISHcolorado and the Jewish Community Relations Council thank Congressmen Neguse & Bacon for their continued leadership in strengthening this vital program and helping communities gather, worship, learn, and serve safely,” stated the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of JEWISHcolorado.
“Walk into most American synagogues today, and the first person you meet isn't a rabbi, it's a security guard. That is the reality of Jewish life in America. Cameras, reinforced doors and metal detectors are essential, but with threats continuing to evolve and escalate, so must our defenses,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO and National Director. “The Safe Spaces for All Act meets that reality head-on by modernizing the Nonprofit Security Grant Program so at-risk organizations can protect the people they serve. We commend Reps. Neguse and Bacon for their bipartisan leadership on this important legislation, and we urge Congress to act swiftly.”
“At-risk community institutions face persistent security threats and require flexible, practical tools to keep communities safe. This act clarifies eligible uses under the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, ensuring organizations can use these resources to address their evolving security needs. We are thankful this bill takes the steps to codify these necessary improvements,” said the Honorable Eric D. Fingerhut, President & Chief Executive Officer of Jewish Federations of North America.

Assistant Leader Neguse, Chair of Litigation Task Force, Leads 150+ Current and Former House Democrats & Republicans in Urging Supreme Court to Block Trump DHS Voter Purge Database
Position: The release states that 154 current and former House members filed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to halt a federal database linking DHS and Social Security Administration data for voter-roll administration, arguing it violates the Privacy Act and the separation of powers.
Washington, D.C. — For the second time in two weeks, current and former Members of the House of Representatives are challenging the Trump administration’s ongoing attempt to unconstitutionally exercise control over election administration and create chaos in the upcoming midterm elections. Today’s action follows the Litigation Task Force’s successful advocacy before the Supreme Court and the denial of Donald Trump’s attempts to restrict mail-in ballots.
154 current and former Members from the House of Representatives, Democratic and Republican, filed an amicus brief at the U.S. Supreme Court urging the justices to halt the Trump administration’s efforts to build and make available a massive illegal database containing the personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans. The expanded system, which links information from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration, unlawfully puts Americans’ most sensitive personal information at risk while relying on questionable data that federal agents have raised concerns may be inaccurate. Those errors could result in eligible U.S. citizens being improperly flagged and removed from voter rolls, potentially denying an untold number of Americans their constitutional right to vote.
The coalition filed its amicus brief in League of Women Voters v. Department of Homeland Security, arguing that the administration’s efforts to create and use this database violate the law on two main grounds. First, the database violates the Privacy Act, enacted by Congress in the 1970s in part to prevent the creation of a “centralized Federal information system” that would consolidate Americans’ sensitive information stored across federal agencies. And second, Congress has repeatedly declined to authorize the creation of state-by-state citizenship lists, most recently by failing to advance the SAVE Act and SAVE America Act, and so the Trump Administration is unconstitutionally violating the separation of powers by attempting to achieve through lawless executive action what it failed to achieve through legislation.
Click HERE to read the brief in its entirety.
The bipartisan group is led by Assistant House Minority Leader Joe Neguse, who leads the House Democrats’ Litigation Task Force; Task Force Co-Chairs Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia and Judiciary Ranking Member Jamie Raskin; as well as House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Administration Ranking Member Joe Morelle, and Homeland Security Ranking Member Bennie G. Thompson.
The Republican lawmakers that joined this court filing include former Representatives Charles W. Boustany, Jr. (2005-2017), Barbara Comstock (2015-2019), Mickey Edwards (1977-1993), James C. Greenwood (1993-2005), Steve Gunderson (1981-1997), John LeBoutillier (1981-1983), Susan Molinari (1990-1997), Claudine Schneider (1981-1991), Peter Smith (1989-1991), and David Trott (2015-2019).
Keep scrolling to see what the leading lawmakers had to say about the matter:
“House Democrats’ Litigation Task Force will continue to vindicate our constitution and fight back against Donald Trump efforts to disenfranchise American citizens,” said House Assistant Minority Leader Joe Neguse. “The president’s plan to create federal lists that dictate who can and cannot vote in elections is not only violative of laws enacted by Congress but also relies on questionable data Homeland Security agents themselves have said will result in an untold number of lawful citizens losing their right to vote. It is an attempt to sow chaos ahead of the 2026 midterms and must be struck down by the Supreme Court — immediately.”
“Trump’s asking the courts to let his Administration create the very federal database Congress repeatedly declined to authorize: a comprehensive Orwellian system that collects and shares Americans’ most sensitive personal information while creating the risk of wrongly purging eligible voters from the rolls. I’m proud to stand strong with my colleagues urging the Supreme Court to protect individual Americans’ privacy and voting rights—and the integrity of our free and fair elections—from this outrageous and illegal power grab,” said Ranking Member Jamie Raskin.
“The Trump Administration is trying to create a massive database of Americans’ sensitive personal information that could disenfranchise voters across the country. This system relies on incomplete data that directly targets the right to privacy and the right to vote. We are urging the Supreme Court to stop this immediately and protect Americans’ right to vote,” said Ranking Member Robert Garcia.
“No matter how hard he tries, Donald Trump will never succeed in taking over our elections,” said Leader Jeffries. “I am grateful to Reps. Neguse, Garcia, Raskin, Morelle and Bennie Thompson and the Litigation Task Force for leading House Democrats in this latest effort to stand up to Donald Trump’s ongoing unlawful and unconstitutional effort to sow chaos ahead of the midterms, deny eligible Americans the right to vote and exert undue federal control over our elections.”
“Democrats and Republicans agree - this Administration cannot ignore Congress. Once again, Trump is mounting a wildly illegal attack on our elections. Presidents do not control our elections. The American people do," said Ranking Member Joe Morelle.
“There’s a reason our Constitution gives states and Congress the power to manage our elections: to stop despots like Donald Trump,” added Ranking Member Bennie G. Thompson. “The Supreme Court must stop Trump’s illegal actions to create error-ridden citizen databases to disenfranchise voters and rig our elections.”
Background
The Litigation Task Force launched in the first month that followed President Donald Trump’s chaotic return to office. We immediately set out to push back against an administration showing no respect for the Constitution or rule of law—and haven’t stopped since.
I the fight to protect American election security: last Tuesday, the Task Force urged the Supreme Court to block Trump’s Executive Order seeking to exert control over mail-in ballots ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. As noted above, less than a week later, the Court agreed and barred the USPS from putting the challenged mail-ballot requirements into effect for the 2026 midterm election.

Assistant Leader Neguse Issues Statement After Supreme Court Blocks Trump’s Plan to Limit Mail-In Voting
Position: Opposes a presidential plan to restrict mail-in ballots ahead of the 2026 midterm elections and supports the court challenge to the U.S. Postal Service's Final Rule, arguing the agency lacked authority to issue it.
Washington, D.C. — Today, House Assistant Minority Leader Joe Neguse, Chair of House Democrats’ Litigation Task Force, issued the following statement:
“House Democrats took our fight against Donald Trump’s disastrous attempt to impose unworkable restrictions on mail-in voting to the highest court in the land—and won. We’ll never stop fighting to vindicate our Constitution and put a stop to this administration’s efforts to disenfranchise American citizens. No party, and certainly no president, is above the rule of law.”
Neguse led more than 250 current and former Members of Congress, Republicans and Democrats, in filing an amicus brief challenging the legality of President Donald Trump’s efforts to impose new restrictions on mail-in ballots ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The coalition argued that the U.S. Postal Service lacked the authority to implement the Final Rule, which imposes unconstitutional and unworkable restrictions on voting by mail and is contrary to law.

Rep. Neguse and Gov. Polis Call for an Immediate Cease to Wild Horse Helicopter Roundups in Colorado
Position: Rep. Neguse and Gov. Polis call on the Bureau of Land Management to immediately halt wild horse helicopter roundups in Colorado, describing the method as inhumane and unnecessary and urging postponement of scheduled roundups for broader stakeholder engagement.
Lafayette, CO — Today, Congressman Joe Neguse and Governor Jared Polis called on the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to immediately halt wild horse helicopter roundups in Colorado. Their letter comes on the heels of public reports that in the month of August alone 800 wild horses were captured and hauled away from public lands in the northwestern part of the state. This is part of a costly federal plan to thin the state’s herds, with the next roundup in the region scheduled to begin as soon as September 10th, 2026.
In their letter, Neguse and Polis labeled the use of helicopters in herd management inhumane and unnecessary. Six horses have died so far during the helicopter roundups in other parts of the state.
BLM has been responsible for protecting and managing wild horse herds for decades, however, under the Trump administration there’s been a troubling uptick in the U.S. government’s sale of these animals. According to records reviewed by The New York Times, in 2025, sales of wild horses more than doubled and traders are using a legal loophole to increase profits when selling them for slaughter.
They lawmakers echoed pleas from Coloradans across the state who are deeply concerned about the safety and well-being of these horses.
The letter is co-signed by Representatives Brittany Pettersen (CO-07), Dianna DeGette (CO-01), and Jason Crow (CO-06).
The full letter is available HERE and below:
September 3, 2026
Secretary Burgum and Deputy Director Heinlein,
We write with grave concern regarding recent wild horse helicopter roundups in Northwest Colorado and urge your agencies to implement an immediate freeze on upcoming roundups. Our wild horses provide significant benefit to the region and State of Colorado and should be treated with care.
This month, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has captured around 800 wild horses in the Piceance-East Douglas Herd Management Area, six of which died during the roundups. Another roundup in the Sand Wash Basin Herd Management Area (HMA) is scheduled for early September, which will reduce the size of the herd by more than 60 percent. While we understand the need to reduce the size of these herds in accordance with the level that can be sustained on the land, the current methods being used by your agencies, including helicopter roundups, are inhumane and unnecessary. Helicopter roundups are known to cause extreme panic, exhaustion, and frequent and severe injuries to the animals. Coloradans themselves have voiced deep concern over the safety and well-being of these horses, whose risks only multiply during roundups of this scale and continue long after the gathering ends.
We would encourage you to consider postponing the scheduled roundups in order to have a more thorough and robust stakeholder and community engagement process, and work with local and state partners – such as the state’s Wild Horse Advisory Committee – to craft a solution for the long-term wellbeing of these horses. We also request any evidence your agencies may have that supports the need for continued use of helicopter roundups as a more effective means for horse control against other more humane methods.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Rep. Neguse Introduces Bill Expanding Access to Breast Cancer Screenings for Americans 30 & Over
Position: Rep. Neguse introduced the Screen to Save Act, which would require insurance coverage with zero out-of-pocket costs for mammograms and related breast cancer screening imaging for individuals age 30 and older, lowering the current age-40 federal ACA requirement.
Washington, D.C. — Today, Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse introduced the Screen to Save Act, a bill that changes federal insurance guidelines to ensure mammograms, X-ray imaging tests used to screen for and diagnose breast cancer, are covered with zero out-of-pocket costs for individuals 30 and older.
The Affordable Care Act currently requires most health plans to cover screening mammograms at age 40. However, the rate of breast cancers in individuals under 40 is on the rise, and Americans diagnosed with cancer in this age group are more likely to have features that contribute to poorer prognoses and outcomes—including larger tumor size and advanced tumor stage. Since routine mammograms are not standard for Americans under 40, tumors are most often found by the patients themselves.
Several years ago, Congressman Neguse’s wife, Andrea, was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 36, and courageously and successfully fought the disease—she is now in remission.
“Access to breast cancer screening can mean all the difference for families battling this terrible disease—and mammography remains the most effective way of increasing the odds of survival, opening the door to better and simpler treatments. That’s why I’m proud to introduce the Screen to Save Act, a critical piece of legislation that expands access to early detection technology, lowering the age range of individuals eligible for regular screening with no out-of-pockets costs from 40 to 30,” said Congressman Neguse.
“Like so many Americans, my family has been impacted by the scourge of breast cancer. My wonderful wife Andrea, over a year ago, battled this terrible disease for roughly 18 months, and every day I saw the grit, the determination, and the strength that it took for her to ring the bell and end her battle with cancer. I continue to be incredibly grateful to the many doctors, nurses, family, and friends who helped us throughout this journey. It's on her behalf and on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of individuals diagnosed each year that we recommit to ensuring folks have the resources and information they need to fight cancer and win.”
The Screen to Save Act is endorsed by the Breast Cancer Early Detection Coalition.
“This bill will provide access to the earlier screening, risk assessment, and awareness needed to help younger women save lives. When caught early, breast cancer has a 99 percent survival rate. With the incidence of breast cancer among younger women increasing by roughly one percent each year, and Black women between the ages of 20 and 29 facing a 53 percent higher risk of breast cancer than white women in the same age group, the need for earlier screening is clear,” said Liz Powell, Esq., MPH, Founder of the Breast Cancer Early Detection Coalition and Women’s Health Advocates.

Congressman Neguse has been outspoken in his support for ensuring adequate healthcare coverage for cancer patients. In June, he took to the House Floor to demand the Trump administration rescind the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) so-called “medical frailty” rule that would allow Americans battling cancer to be kicked off Medicaid.
Shortly following this speech, Neguse led the entire House Democratic Caucus in a letter to CMS urging them to immediately reverse course.

Rep. Neguse Leads Bipartisan Effort Imploring Defense Department Reverse NATO Force Cuts
Position: The lawmakers urge the Defense Department to reconsider planned reductions in U.S. force contributions to NATO operations in Europe, arguing the cuts would weaken deterrence against Russia and that the U.S. should reaffirm its commitment to the alliance.
“NATO is the most successful defensive military alliance in history, having served as the cornerstone of trans-Atlantic peace and U.S. national security for over seven decades. Now is the time to recommit to this alliance…not to pull back and create vulnerabilities that risk implicating the United States.”
Washington, D.C. — Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse, alongside Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Representative Don Bacon (R-NE), penned a letter to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegeseth regarding reports that the Department of Defense plans to reduce contributions to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) operations in Europe, undermining allied security and emboldening Russia at a particularly divisive time for trans-Atlantic stability.
“Since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the United States has maintained an increased presence in Central and Eastern Europe to deter Russia’s potential aggression against NATO allies. Earlier this summer, however, the United States European Command announced plans to scale back the number of forces committed to NATO, including a 30 percent cut to fighter jets, a decrease in reconnaissance planes, and the withdrawal of aerial refueling tankers,” the lawmakers wrote.
“This decision will severely undermine allied surveillance and intelligence coordination, leaving NATO allies vulnerable as President Vladimir Putin weighs aggression against our NATO allies — whom the United States is legally obligated to defend, if called upon under Article 5. Deterring Russia through strong support for NATO is far less costly than potentially fighting a war with Russia in the future.”
The bipartisan trio urged reconsideration of the proposed cuts to NATO resources and requested the Defense Department share its plans for how the United States would uphold long-standing commitments to allied security. Neguse, Bennet, and Bacon also stressed that now is the time to reaffirm America’s leadership within NATO, not to introduce uncertainty or risk the alliance’s collective strength.
“We understand your Department’s efforts to ensure Europe pays more for its own defense so the United States can spend more of our own resources deterring China across the Indo-Pacific. This is a long-running and bipartisan priority. But your planned reduction cuts deep across NATO capabilities and will take effect far earlier than European allies had been preparing for. This decision and its rapid implementation will weaken our shared deterrence posture in Europe by sending a troubling signal — both to our NATO allies and to Putin — about the U.S. commitment to this alliance at precisely the wrong moment.”
The letter concludes: “NATO is the most successful defensive military alliance in history, having served as the cornerstone of trans-Atlantic peace and U.S. national security for over seven decades. Now is the time to recommit to this alliance, particularly as NATO itself expands cooperation with Indo- Pacific partners to address the China challenge – not to pull back and create vulnerabilities that risk implicating the United States. Accordingly, we urge you to immediately reconsider the planned reduction of resources to NATO.”

Rep. Neguse Advances Bipartisan Recycling and Composting Accountability Act Through Energy & Commerce Committee
Position: Rep. Neguse supports legislation to improve national recycling and composting infrastructure by establishing data measurement standards and identifying infrastructure gaps.
Washington, D.C. — Last week, Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse passed his bipartisan proposal to improve America’s recycling and composting infrastructure through the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The legislation will identify national composting infrastructure challenges and improve recycling data measurement and reporting—enhancing systems that enable the country to reduce waste and support communities.
Rep. Neguse’s Recycling and Composting Accountability Act was incorporated as part of Republican Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks’ (IA-01) Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Act during an Environment Subcommittee markup last week, and passed the full Energy and Commerce Committee today.
The bill now advances to the full House of Representatives.
“To build a sustainable future, we must create systems that encourage recycling and waste reduction, and ensure our communities have the resources to reach those goals,” said Congressman Neguse. “I’m incredibly proud to see the Energy and Commerce Committee advance our bill to address gaps in recycling and composting infrastructure to the House Floor for final consideration. This proposal establishes a comprehensive baseline of recycling and composting data, and helps lay the foundation for a healthier environment and a better planet for everyone.”
The legislation to improve the nation’s recycling infrastructure is also included in the Senate’s STEWARD Act, which passed that chamber in December 2025.
