DENVER – Following the devastating impacts of the Marshall Fire, Senate Republican Leadership issued the following statement:

“Like so many Coloradans – our hearts broke as we watched this devastating fire destroy entire communities last night. The loss many of them are feeling today is unimaginable – and many are still unaware of what they’ll return to once the evacuations are lifted.

We have complete faith in the brave men and women who serve as first responders in our state and the amazing individuals who coordinate emergency and disaster relief. When called upon, Senate Republicans will do whatever we can to assist them in making their job easier as they contain this fire and begin the process of recovering and rebuilding.

We strongly encourage anybody who can assist to please consider donating to Boulder County Wildfire Fund or to a local church, synagogue, or other religious institution that is in the area assisting with recovery.”
