Polis Looks Back on Bold Colorado Wins in His Final State of the State

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis delivered his eighth and final State of the State, praising seven years of progress on universal preschool and kindergarten, housing initiatives, clean energy, education funding, and health-care reforms while outlining final-year priorities like HOME housing legislation and Medicaid cost controls. He acknowledged political and federal headwinds, defended immigrant protections and the Colorado for All vision, and used humor and pop culture as he framed a bipartisan path forward despite budget gaps and ongoing reform efforts across taxes, transit, and safety.
