Former Governor Bill Ritter endorsed John Hickenlooper’s campaign for U.S. Senate today, citing his record of expanding clean energy in Colorado and taking action on climate change.
“As Governor, John Hickenlooper committed Colorado to the Paris Climate Agreement, jump-started the transition to cleaner cars, and passed limits on methane emissions that became the national gold standard,” said former Governor Bill Ritter. “John understands the urgent need to act on climate change and has the record to prove he can get it done. Colorado needs someone in Washington who can bring people together to solve today’s toughest problems, and John Hickenlooper is that leader.”
“I’m honored to have the support of my friend Governor Ritter,” said John Hickenlooper. “Governor Ritter put Colorado on track for a cleaner energy future, and we built on his work during my administration. Now we need to bring that same Colorado collaboration to Washington to reverse the Republican attacks on our environment and transition to a 100% renewable energy economy by 2050 at the latest.”
Ritter joins an ever-growing list of supporters for Hickenlooper’s campaign, including former U.S. Senate candidates Trish Zornio, John Walsh and Dan Baer, as well as Senator Michael Bennet, former Secretary Ken Salazar, Congressman Ed Perlmutter, former Congressman John Salazar, Senate President Leroy Garcia, State Senators Jeff Bridges, Jessie Danielson, Kerry Donovan, Rhonda Fields, Brittany Pettersen, State Representatives Bri Buentello, James Coleman, Julie McCluskie, Dylan Roberts, Tom Sullivan, Shannon Bird, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb, former state Representative Wilma Webb, and former CSU President Al Yates.
