“Colorado is facing a challenge unlike anything we have ever seen before. As we confront this public health crisis, our leaders are asking us to do our part to flatten the curve. That means shutting down ski resorts and bars, teaching our children at home, and staying away from high-density areas like restaurants.”
“Without a doubt, this necessary and rapid change of how we live our lives has fundamentally upended our state and impacted our economy — especially small businesses and their employees.”
“As a former brewer and restaurant owner myself, I know the anguish that the service industry and other small businesses are going through now.”
“It is incumbent on our leaders to step up, strengthen America’s economy, and prevent an economic disaster that would leave millions of Americans without work.”
“I find great solace and encouragement in how Coloradans have selflessly risen to the occasion and are looking out for each other. Whether it’s a family ordering takeout from a locally-owned restaurant or young people delivering groceries for their elderly neighbors, it’s clear Coloradans are doing their part in this time of uncertainty. Our leaders in Washington can, and must, do their part as well to lift up and support our small business economy.”
