On April 10, 2025, Rep. Pettersen voiced her concerns regarding proposed legislative changes she attributes to Republican policymakers. In her tweet, she expressed distress over the implications of these policies, which, as she described, result in "ripping away health care from kids and families who need it — all to give millionaires and billionaires a tax break."

Her political journey includes previous roles in the Colorado House of Representatives and the Colorado Senate. Born in Colorado in 1981, Pettersen holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Metropolitan State University of Denver and currently resides in Lakewood, Colorado.
