The 2025 Colorado legislative session has concluded, and AARP Colorado’s nonpartisan advocacy efforts helped achieve several significant victories for older Coloradans. This year’s legislative advocacy focused on four key areas: financial security, housing, fraud prevention and health care. Additionally, AARP advocates worked to mitigate a budget shortfall’s impact on older Coloradans.
A new AARP survey, released in conjunction with Social Security’s 90th anniversary, confirms that Americans highly value Social Security, and even more so than five years ago.

AARP Colorado is excited to announce that the state office is now accepting applications to join its Executive Council, a volunteer leadership role and experience.
