| Description | Colorado has trended blue over the past few election cycles because of the simple fact that Democrats care about solving problems and Democrats deliver. Whether it’s full-day kindergarten for all Colorado kids, saving people money on health care, making our tax code fairer for working people, combating climate change by conserving Colorado’s public lands and environment, or supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs, Colorado voters have seen for themselves that when they elect Democrats, they get results for the people.
Last year, when our country first faced the unprecedented public health crisis of COVID-19, Colorado Democrats like Gov. Polis and leaders in the General Assembly sprang into action. In the absence of leadership at the federal level, where we saw former President Trump tell the states that we were on our own, it was Democrats that stepped up to keep our communities safe from this deadly virus while also providing relief for families and small businesses.
Thanks to President Biden and Colorado’s congressional Democrats, Congress delivered to revitalize our economy through the incredibly popular and successful American Rescue Plan. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the crucial role Colorado’s own Sen. Michael Bennet had to play in that legislation. Thanks to Sen. Bennet, who’s been fighting for an expanded child tax credit since 2015, struggling families are seeing a tax cut while also seeing money in their pocket to take care of their kids through the American Rescue Plan. Simply put, when our state and our country has needed leadership, Colorado Democrats have stepped up and delivered for the people. |
