Episode 108: Whew! Glad that session is over with Sen. Byron Pelton Podcast Episode · Pro Ag Podcast · June 10 · 1h

Today, we celebrate Flag Day and honor the Stars and Stripes, the enduring symbol of our nation's freedom. Our flag has flown over battlefields, schools, homes, and communities, representing the sacrifices of the men and women who fought to defend the liberties we enjoy today. It is more than cloth and color; it is a reminder that America is worth protecting and preserving.

God Bless our flag, our military, our veterans, and the United States of America.

To celebrate Colorado’s 150th anniversary, we’re highlighting the Four Corners. This spot in the American Southwest is special because it’s the only place in the country where four states meet at one point. Visitors can stand in all four states at once.

🏆Congratulations to Cleave Simpson Colorado State Senator District 6 and State Senator Rod Pelton on being recognized by
Mental Health Colorado for their commitment to improving mental health outcomes across Colorado.

Senator Simpson received the 2026 Continuing Champion Award for his enduring dedication to the health and well-being of Coloradans. Senator Rod Pelton was recognized for sponsoring legislation that expands access to mental health services, particularly in rural communities where counselors, therapists, and psychiatrists are often in short supply.

Colorado Senate Republicans remain committed to supporting the mental health needs of our children, families, and communities.

Mark Johnson, the voice of the Colorado Buffaloes, new Athletic Director Fernando Lobo, and Coach Prime visited Grand Junction today, where they met with Senator Janice Rich for Colorado. Go Buffs!

Governor Polis' veto of SB26-134 stops a government rule that could have disrupted payment systems, made compliance harder, and put popular credit card rewards at risk. This bill showed government overreach into the private market. Republicans continue to support policies that encourage consumer choice, economic freedom, and less regulation.

This is a win for Colorado consumers, small businesses, and free-market values.

Today, Colorado took an important step to protect children and hold predators accountable with the governor signing SB26-015 into law. State Senator Byron H. Pelton’s bill strengthens penalties for those who exploit children through commercial sexual activity, establishes tougher consequences for offenders, and closes loopholes that have allowed predators to avoid meaningful punishment. The law also increases penalties for internet luring when tied to the exploitation of children.

Every child deserves to be safe. Every predator deserves to be held accountable.
