Senator Michael Bennet is running for Governor of Colorado! With this news, I was concerned about losing him in the Senate. When I think of Senator Bennet, three words come to my mind: respect, integrity, and dedication. I’ve long been a supporter of Senator Bennet. I recently attended a Meet and Greet, I asked him about his decision to leave the Senate. He addressed my concern with zeal.
He has built a reputation for taking on Washington dysfunction. He works across the aisle with all parties. It’s obvious that he thought long and hard before making his decision. He will bring vast and varied experience in local, state, and federal government to the Governorship. He explained, when he is Governor, he will be able to appoint his successor in the Senate for the remaining two years of his term. He will pass the torch to the next generation of Democratic leaders. He has been instrumental in passing many invaluable bills for the people:
- Child Tax Credit (drastically cut child poverty)
-
RACE for the Children Act (closed gaps in childhood Cancer research)
-
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (transportation, water, environment, energy, grid, digital infrastructure)
-
ACE Kids Act (improved care for children, complex medical conditions)
-
CHIPS & Science Act (boosts American Technology)
-
Federal Funds for Colorado (over $16.7 billion in Federal Investment in Colorado)
-
Americas Act (strengthens U.S. ties with Latin America)
-
Significant Climate action via Inflation Reduction Act
-
Colorado Outdoor Recreation & Economy Act (public land conservation)
-
Arkansas Valley Conduit (major water project to bring clean water to S.E. Colorado) passed unanimously, only to be vetoed by the current President
Colorado will become a Democratic Beacon with his leadership. We can rebuild the Democratic Party from the ground up. Please consider Michael Bennet for your next Colorado Governor!
