U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen, who represents Colorado’s 7th district in Congress, addressed her constituents through a series of tweets between December 19 and December 20, 2025, touching on national challenges, local emergencies, and military appreciation.
On December 19, Pettersen reflected on the difficulties of the past year while expressing hope for the future. She stated: “It’s been an incredibly challenging year for all of us. But even with the cruelty and chaos of this administration, I’ve never lost hope.

The following day, she provided practical information to residents affected by ongoing power outages in Jefferson County: “Jefferson County has set up a help line to answer questions about the ongoing power outages.
If you have any questions or need help, you can call (303) 271-8911″ (posted December 20).
