Today Hickenlooper for Colorado released a new TV ad, “Says/Does,” highlighting Senator Cory Gardner’s bald-faced attempts to tell Coloradans he cares about the environment while stonewalling efforts to combat climate change and gutting protections for clean air and water.
The ad follows Gardner’s election-year attempts to deceive voters about his toxic environmental record, including using a sham environmentalist group no actual environmental advocates had heard of in a campaign ad. Gardner has a lifetime environmental voting record of just 11% from the League of Conservation Voters, which named him to their “Dirty Dozen” list of the most anti-environmental candidates.
