Tonight after the Pueblo Chieftain debate, Pueblo leaders spoke out about why John Hickenlooper is the best candidate to bring change to Washington:
“Tonight’s debate made clear why I’m proud to support John Hickenlooper,” said former Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. “We need leaders in Congress who will work together to rebuild our economy to work for working people, lower health care costs, and get Washington working for us. Senator Gardner has shown he won’t stand up to Trump or McConnell, which means he won’t stand up for Colorado.”
“In the U.S. Senate, John Hickenlooper will fight to expand access to care and lower costs, but Senator Gardner wants to roll back protections for 2.4 million Coloradans with pre-existing conditions,” said Colorado Senate President Leroy Garcia. “It’s that type of clear choice that makes me proud to support John for Senate. It’s time Colorado had a Senator who put Pueblo ahead of partisanship, and that’s just what John Hickenlooper will do.”
“Tonight, John Hickenlooper showed the people of Pueblo that he is ready to lead and help us build back better after COVID,” said state Representative Bri Buentello. “I’ve seen him lead our state out of multiple crises, and he can bring people together to get the job done. That’s a sharp contrast from Senator Gardner’s record. He may try to hide it, but the folks of Pueblo know he’s more concerned with K Street than Abriendo Avenue.”
